LM1830 Single Chip Water Level Sensor Circuit: Basically A Conductive Liquid Level Sensor

For any electrically conductive liquid level measurement, this single chip circuit is very compact and simple. This circuit is an ac excited fluid level sensor, which uses alternating current to provide biasing for the sensor probe to avoid electrolysis of the probes.  This ac excitation makes the sensing probe has longer lifetime. This circuit can be useful for wide range […]

A Simple Metal Detector Circuit Using Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO)

Metal Detector Circuit Topology One of the simplest method of metal detecting is by beat frequency oscillator. Basically, the circuit consist of two balanced oscillator. One oscillator provides the reference signal, and other oscillator is acting as the detector element. The reference oscillator’s frequency is fix, while the detector oscillator is variable depending on the presence of a metal. The […]

LED Audio Level (VU) Indicator and Alarm: The Dot Turns to Bar When The Signal Reach The Maximum Level!

This LED (Light Emitiing Diode) display consist of 10 LEDs to indicate the level of an input signal. If the signal is small, only LED#1 will light, and if the signal level getting higher then you’ll se the light dot will move through LED #2, #3, #4, … and so on. When the signal input drive the dot until LED […]
