The schematic for the pulse width monitor. The heart of the circuit is the transistor current source which charges cap C10 to form an integrator. The theory is that the cap is charged and the voltage across it increases linearly for the amount of time that the injector is energized. As the injector is switched off the voltage in C10 is stored in c

ap C9 and then C10 is reset to 0 volts to get ready for the next cycle. The output of the circuit is the voltage across cap C9, this voltage is fed directly into U3 the bar graph chip to be displayed as a value between 1-10 on the LEDs. Potentiometer R31 sets the charge rate on C10 and basically sets the max injector on time that can be displayed. The calibration on this circuit is pretty tricky. You`ll need an oscilloscope and a waveform generator. Setup a 62Hz 0-12v 50% duty cycle square wave at the input to the circuit. Use the scope to monitor the voltage across C10 Adjust pot R31 such that the ramping voltage across C10 just reaches the peak (starts to flatten out). Now adjust the pot R22 in the display circuit such that LED 10 just comes on. With the calibration described above LED 1 corresponds to about 1. 5ms and LED 10 corresponds to about 8ms of injector pulse width (on time). Injector duty cycle in dependent on engine speed according to the following relationship:
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
