In this project, we will be making a benchtop pH meter using the gravity analog pH circuit and probe from Atlas Scientific and an Arduino Uno. Readings will be displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD). MATERIALS 1 – Arduino Uno 1 – Gravity analog pH sensor 1 – pH probe 1 – 20×4 LCD module 1 – 158x90x60mm Enclosure […]
With all the different ways capacitors are labeled, figuring out the values of your capacitors can be challenging. Especially if you don’t have a digital multi-meter to test them. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to build three different capacitance meters using an Arduino and a couple resistors. After finishing this project, you’ll be able to measure all

This project brings back the old time Analog VU Meter, with the added functionality of a neat looking clock! When you turn off your music the meters automatically swing into to clock mode. Behind it all is the popular and easy to use Arduino. This is my submission for the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest: What did

O’K, after having some fun with stereo version of the VU meter I described in my previous blog-post, now it’s time to do a serious stuff. Studio grade VU meter !!! 24 steps, equally spaced every 3 dB, covering Extra wide Dynamic Range from -63 up to +6 dB. Single (mono) channel this time, no messing around,

Homebrew SWR and power meter To begin with, this SWR meter featured in this article is not completely homemade, as I used the circuit design from the schematic in the highly regarded book Arduino Projects of Amateur Radio. Despite purchasing the book and honoring the authors’ copyright, I will still provide my own diagram here.

This drawing will display RF power and SWR readings from any SWR bridge, such as the ‘monimatch’ type. Since this type of bridge, called ‘monimatch,’ varies with frequency, the meter needs to be adjusted for each bandwidth. My main focus was on VHF/UHF/SHF, so I had planned for 6m, 4m, 2m, 70 cm, 23cm, and

This project details the development of a wireless Arduino frequency meter capable of determining the frequency of AC sinusoidal waveforms between 50Hz and 3kHz. Figures 1 and 2 depict the prototype hardware constructed for the transmitting and receiving functions. Figure 1 shows the transmitting circuit board which incorporates the frequency sensing components. Figure 2 presents

The gaming world experienced a bit of a resurgence in 2020 that is still seen in the present day. Even putting aside the effects from the pandemic, the affordability and accessibility has arguably never been better. Building a gaming PC can have its downsides, though, and a challenging issue to troubleshoot is input lag or

There have recently been a series of web query projects that use the miraculously tiny and affordable ESP8266 micro controllers. Most have involved the output going to a tiny screen with small graphics. The local YMCA in Anchorage just completed a beautiful remodel but lacked funds for decorative elements. I wanted to build them something
