curve tracer

A SIMPLE MANUAL CURVE TRACER using microcontroller USING ATMEGA

Measure current vs voltage or voltage vs current over limited range with good accuracy This was built on a phenolic board which was mounted on a plastic box. The box serves two purposes: It holds the circuit off the workbench, and it makes a nice, stable mount for the potentiometer. Find updates at www.projects.cappels.org I realized

RS-232 Freq. Meter/Pulse Generator Based on Atmel ATtiny2313 using microcontroller

Simplicity in circuitry was the design direction. Zero mass (firmware only with no physical components) would the ultimate achievement. This instrument doesn’t have any front panel controls because the user interacts via an RS-232 terminal program at 9600 baud. I needed a frequency meter for my experiments in Nondu, Thailand, where I really don’t have

Milliohmmeter

A Microcontroller Based Digital Lock-In Milliohmmeter using ATtiny2313 microcontroller

Download: assembler source mhm031002A.asm A milliohmmeter is just the tool for checking trace resistance on a printed circuit board, tracking down shorted traces, and measuring the contact resistance of a switch or connector. Its the kind of tool that would come in real handy occasionally, but not often enough to justify shelling out hundreds of dollars.

Detecting Probe

Precision Audio Frequency Peak Detecting Probe using microcontroller using Atmega

This is a handy companion for a digital voltmeter. Its allowed me to do a lot of things I used to use my oscilloscope for, and in addition it measures voltages to much greater precision.Using an LM324 quad op amp, this peak detector provides 2% measurement accuracy on square waves from 5 Hz to 20

Frequency Meter

Frequency Meter with 100 MHz RF desktop channel using ATtiny2313 microcontroller

This basically the frequency meter section of the frequency meter/pulse generator based on the AT90S2313 described elsewhere on this site, combined with the 100 MHz RF interface described in the page about the RS-232 to 100 MHz RF desktop channel adapter. Built and align this is the same manner as the 100 MHz RF desktop
