If you want to build a contactless temperature measurement and looking for an idea, then this project is for you. Martin Nawrath has built non-contact infrared thermometer using MLX90614 and Arduino. This device can be used to measure temperature with range from -70 to +380 degree Celsius. Just connect the four leads to your Arduino [...]

This project shows you how to build a simple Li-on Battery Capacity Tester. It consists of single resistor that discharges battery. Arduino measures the voltage drop across resistor. According to Ohm’s Law current = voltage/resistance. Every second value of current is divided by 3600 and summed up to get the capacity expressed in Ah (Amp [...]

LCFesR meter is a precise, wide range meter that can measure inductivity (L), capacity (C), frequency (F) and equivalent series resistance of a capacitor in-circuit (ESR) based on AVR ATMega88PA-PU microcontroller. It can be easily built with homemade one or double-faced PCB and available electronic components.
dr. Le Hung, project designer, explained that measurement of ESR [...]

This simple counter is built based on PIC16F84A and SAB6456 IC. The SAB6456 is a prescaler for UHF/VHF tuners. It can be switched to divide-by-64 or divide-by-256 by the mode-control (MC) pin. The circuit has an input frequency range of 70 MHz to 1 GHz, has high input sensitivity and good harmonic suppression.
This project is [...]
