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 […]
