Simple Temperature Sensor Arduino
Hello people, it’s been a while since I have posted projects on this website. This semester was really busy, I didn’t have time to much else, but soon I will have my winter holiday (Here in south our summer holiday is from December to February).
Today I am going to show you how to build a simple temperature sensor using one LM35 Precision Temperature Sensor and Arduino, so you can hookup on your future projects. The circuit will send serial information about the temperature so you can use on your computer, change the code as you will. I’m planning to build a temperature sensor with max/min + clock + LCD, and when I get it done, I will post here.
Parts:
This is a quick and simple step. Just connect the 5V output from arduino to the 1st pin of the sensor, ground the 3rd pin and the 2nd one, you connect to the 0 Analog Input.
Down goes some pictures that may help you, click to enlarge:





Here is the Arduino Code, just upload it and check the Serial Communication Option.
You can also download the .pde HERE.
Anything just ask!

Very Simple Peak Indicator Circuit
This series is made to indicate that the amplifier has been given the maximum signal, the amplifier has the ability to be at its peak. if the lights do not mean the signal-plus volume. the way it works is the LED lights will light up when given a signal that more than 1.8 volts, the average amplifier will be saturated (maximum) if the signal was given more than this.
The circuit is very simple to the point that we forget that making a series of peak signal can in this way. circuit is mounted on the output tone control IC, master mixer output, or input power amplifier. This series does not impose on other circuits. survived the experiment!

Simple 100 Watt Inverter
This is a simplest circuit for 100 watt inverter for generating 220vAC from 12vDC. I say simplest because here in this inverter circuit a minimum number of components are used to design the schematic, which is quite difficult to make a circuit like this with further fewer components.
Simple 100 Watt Inverter Circuit Diagram

This 100W inverter circuit works great for small loads like a fan or 2-3 bulbs/lamps. In this circuit as IC1 we used a CD 4047 IC to generate 100Hz frequency (180 degree out of phase). CD 4047 IC is from Texas Instruments. It is mostly used as Astable/Monostable signal generator device. In this circuit it is triggered as astable multivibrator by the capacitor C1 between the Pin 1 and 3 of CD4047. And VR1 is used to adjust the frequency of signal.
Four 2N3055 transistors are used to amplify the pulse trains that are pre-amplified by two TIP122 transistors. There used three transistors for each side (half cycle), one TIP122 & two 2N3055 transistor to drive the output transformer (TX in circuit). Four 2N3055 transistors are used as driving transistor. An inverters maximum output power depends on two factors; one is the max current rating of transformer’s primary winding and other factor is the current rating of driver transistors.
Transformer: Use a 12v-0-12v, 10A step-down transformer in reverse. That’s mean secondary winding (12v-0-12v) will be the primary and primary winding (220VAC side) will be the secondary (output). So that it will worked like a step-up transformer. You can also use a 5A transformer instead of 10A, if you couldn’t have 10A. But the output power will decrease to 60 Watt.
+12VDC: A good quality 12V car battery could be used for DC 12V.

Simple Operational Amplifier DC Motor Driver
Using a simple operational amplifier and some other common electronic components can be designed a very simple DC motor driver that can be used for a 200mA motor application . Rb sets the bias point for transistors Q1 and Q2.

Because Vbe(ON) varies greatly with temperature, a guardband is required to prevent Q1 and Q2 from conducting simultaneously. RB should be selected such that the transistors do not conduct until lM equals the op amp quiescent supply current, Isy . The transistors will begin to conduct at about Vbe (on) = 0.5V. In this project :
RB= [vbe(on)/(lSY+ Im)]= 0.5/(0.0025 + 0.0025)=100 ohms
To maximize voltage swing across the motor, V1 must be minimized. If at full load V1 = 0.2V with V+ = 15V and VBE1 = 0.8V, the voltage across the motor will be:
VM = (V+ - 2) - VBE1 - V1 = (15 - 2) - 0.8 - 0.2 = 12.0V Vin may be scaled with a resistive divider as:
VIN= (R1 + R2)/R2 With R1 = 240k and R2 = 10k, VIN =5 volt lM = 200mA.

Simple RF Amplifier
This RF amplifier circuit diagram is a very simple and is designed to work for 10 meters band (26 ... 30 MHz) reserved for amateurs. By making this RF amplifier small power transmitters of 200 mW, can be transformed into a power transmitters reasonable, ranging between 2 and 3 W. The circuit is very simple. Network output filter suppresses noise by at least 55 dB.
Simple RF Amplifier Circuit diagram

Amplifier is suitable for almost all types of transmissions, because of the possibility of adjusting the drain current of FETs by P1. For linear applications (AM and BLU), drain current must be adjusted to 20 mA. If is used for FM-CW, P1 will be adjusted so that no current will not flow through the drain rest. For this case, the idle current is 200 mA and between 300 mA.
Coils are made on cases with a diameter of 9 mm. Care should be taken to wound as tight turns without any space between them. Coils should be made as follows: L1 = 12 turns enamelled 0.6 mm copper, L2 and L4 = 5 turns 1 mm enamelled copper, L3 = 8 1 mm enamelled copper coils.

Very Simple Pre Regulator
Present desire be there many period anywhere it is considered necessary to waste the P05 supply module from a upper voltage source. intended for case, if you lack to add balanced inputs to a power amplifier, next you need a +/-15V supply, but the amps supply voltage willpower survive much too far above the ground for the manager ICs.
This project is roughly speaking to the same extent unpretentious as they take place, and is very economical to build. It is designed in support of exactly this reason - to reduce the amplifier supply voltage to a safe significance for controller ICs.
The circuit it is very down-to-earth indeed. You desire need to make it to a hardly any simple calculations to determine the resistor value, but this is explained beneath.

The circuit made known uses the 24V zener diodes (D1 and D2) to adjust the output voltage to a unimportant under 24V. This is a seamlessly safe input voltage in favor of standard 3-terminal regulators, and using this circuit long for provide even better guideline and supply clamor rejection at that time typical. Using MJE3055 and 2955 transistors will allow for supply voltages up to 70V quite safely, but they will need to take place mounted on a heatsink (with insulating washers).
The single-mindedness of R5 is to detach the foremost power amplifier ground from the supply, to prevent hum loops. The 10Ω resistor revealed motivation be fine in lieu of the vast majority of applications, but might need to remain untouched. This is up to you to research with if essential. I hint at so as to R5 ought to be 1W. R2 and R4 may perhaps be 1/4W before 1/2W resistors, and 1W zeners are recommended.
The lone calculation is to determine the regard in support of R1 and R3. original, quantify the power amp supply voltage (V1). The resistor value is calculated to provide a top figure zener current of 20mA, and this hope against hope ensure sufficient found current for the pass transistors representing up to 100mA before so output current by the side of ±15V.
V2 = V1 - 24 (someplace V1 is amplifier supply voltage, and a 24V zener is used)
R1 = R3 = V2 / 20 (R1 and R3 morals are arrived kΩ)
P = V2² / R1 (P is power dissipation of R1 and R3 in mW)
consent tos begin to have a supply voltage of ±56V meant for an pattern calculation ...
V2 = 56 - 24 = 32V
R1 = R3 = 32 / 20 = 1.6k (practice 1.5k)
P = 32² / 1.5 = 680mW = 0.68W (use 1W)
The dissipation in Q1 and Q2 could as well be located calculated, but you need to know the current drawn by the outdoor circuits. on behalf of instance, if the external circuitry draws 50mA, the transistor power dissipation is ...
Pt = V2 * Iext = 32 * 50 = 1600mW = 1.6W (it self-control need a slight heatsink)
