How to use Digital multimeter

Electronics work is incomplete without Multimeter. Every student pursuing engineering should have a multimeter for his/her work. It is like a small and handy electronic device which measure Voltage(V), current(I), Resistance(R) and other values of the electronics component. It helps the developer to identify the value of most of the component which are being used. And also help the developer to identify the current flowing in the circuit. It not only helps in Identify the current and voltage value of the components that are soldered, but also identify the shorted path between the components that are wrongly soldered.

Multimeter are available in two different types- Analog and Digital. Analog Multimeter display the analog value with needle pointing on the specific value. There is red needle and 2 probes which are connected to the terminal of the component whose value has to be measured. The red needle moves and goes to specific value written semicircle format on the screen. The disadvantage of Analog Multimeter that its difficult to measure the fixed values especially in the capacitor and hence, the error percentage increases.

Digital Multimeter- It has small screen on its upper part which displays the fixed digital values. The error percentage in value comes out be very less compared to Analog Multimeter. Today, Digital Multimeter are widely used due to giving such an precise value on its screen.

It is very easy to learn the functions of Digital Multimeter. Give one hour dedication to learn about it and all its function. You may contact to your teacher helping you in your project or can follow the tutorial guide on Digital Multimeter to know and learn about it. The continuous working can also teach different aspects of Digital Multimeter.

I have collected and uploaded a Tutorial guide for you on Digital Multimeter. It is easy to understand and learn.

    I never realized how much variation there could be in multimeter accuracy until I read your post on true RMS meters. Your detailed comparison of different models and brands was really eye-opening. Thanks for helping me make an informed decision on which meter to buy! Have you heard of fluke true rms multimeter 179

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
