Silicon Chip June 2009

The June Issue of Silicon Chip Electronics Magazine, with a wealth of interesting articles and projects, this magazine is ideal for the electronics enthusiast. This month’s articles, include a look at a electric vehicle conversion using regularly available electric equipment and a standard 3-phase Induction Motor. Plus the final part of the look at the introduction of Digital Radio, looking at the signal formats to be used and also building a suitable antenna. Finally a look at the new Voice Activated Remote Control for use with your TV, DVD or Home Theatre system.

This month’s projects include a high-current, high-voltage Battery Capacity Meter, this unit will monitor the charge and discharge of standard lead-acid batteries as well as NiCad and NiMH batteries. Ideal for use with a solar or wind system, the data can be logged to your computer and warning given when load conditions are excessive and when the battery capacity is low. Easy to build with a LCD display and attractive, solid case construction. Also this month a beam-break flash trigger, this unit works with the Time Delay Photoflash Trigger and is ideal for capturing real-time events. Plus this month, A low cost attractively designed Digital Audio Oscillator can be built to product sine, square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms, ideal for the workshop or lab. The unit has LCD display for settings and easy to use controls, for changing the frequency and waveform. All projects come complete with circuit diagram and electronic parts list.
