What Must todo

Volt meters & ampere meter with PIC can be used to measure voltage and current simultaneously. The series of volt meters & ampere meter with PIC16F876A PIC is used as a data processor voltage and current are measured. 

This circuit uses the viewer in the form of 16 × 2 LCD used for the data display voltage and current measurements. In the article volt meter and ampere meter with PIC are discussed kerannya limited to devices only. More detail can be seen from the image sequence volt meter and ampere meter with PIC below.

LED power Meter circuit is a simple RF detector using diodes to charge a capacitor. The voltage developed across the capacitor is indicated by a multimeter set to a low voltage range. The circuit is soldered together without the need for a PC board, as can be seen in the diagram below and paper clips are used for the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter.

The level power output of an FM transmitter is indicated by the illumination of a LED and the voltage reading on the multimeter gives a further indication of the output.

A digital multimeter may be used but the presence of RF may produce a false reading. Likewise, the radiated energy may upset some analogue meters and you may get full scale deflection on the 15v range as well as the 250v range! But the LED wont lie. It will accurately indicate the RF and you can see the change in brightness as you adjust the coils in the output stage. Some of the cheapest and simplest multimeters will give the best results as they have a low sensitivity and the radiated RF energy will not induce a reading. Even a damaged multimeter can be used, provided the 10v or 15v DC scale is operating.

The reading is not calibrated and does not represent milliwatts output. It is only a visual indication. 

We have designed over 10 FM transmitters for inclusion in the pages of this e-magazine and each one has different features and characteristics. Some are designed for 3v operation, some are for 9v operation, some are stable for hand-held situations and others are designed for high output. The illumination of the LED will range from barely visible to very bright.
