Simple LED Voltmeter


Four ยต741 op-amps are used here to measure the voltage ranging from 3V to 12V DC. The voltage measured is displayed on eight LEDs.

The inverting inputs (pin 2) of IC1 through IC4 are supplied with regulated 12V DC through voltage dividers R1 through R4. So the inverting input of each op-amp forms the reference voltage. The non-inverting inputs (pin 3) of the op-amps are tied together and connected to the input terminals. The voltage to be meaured is fed to these input terminals.

When the input voltage exceeds the reference voltage of any of the op-amps, its output goes high, making the corresponding LEDs to glow.

This circuit is designed to measure 3V, 6V, 9V and 12V DC. For instance, when the input voltage is 3V, LED7 and LED8 glow. When the input voltage is 12V, all the LEDs glow.

Note. You can use a quad device such as LM324 instead of ยต741 ICs.

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
