How to make LED board (method 2)

This is second method for making LED board. in first method i used breadboard for making a small LED board but since there aren't big breadboard in markets so that method not suitable for big size projects.
In following video you can see how can make a LED board using aluminum plate.
The aluminum plate with 0.7 mm thickness must puncture with 4.8 or 4.9 mm drill bit.(for 5mm LEDs)
The LEDs must connect together in parallel means all positive connect together and all negative connect together so you can run that with 2 to 3.5v (according to led types).
you have to using a resistor through positive line to protect your LEDs and increase its life period.(see the note)


Parts list:
Aluminum plate 0.7 mm thickness
Drill bit 4.8 or 4.9 mm (for 5mm LED)
Silicone adhesive
Black color spray
battery
Text or shape printed on a paper
Solder flux
LED(number of LEDs depend on your text or shape bigness)
Resistor (see the note)

How to make LED board

Note: 
Protection resistor used when supply power is more than standard LEDs voltage, its value depends on number of LEDs, LEDs type(color) and voltage of battery or power supply. 
You have to using ohm's law for calculation the value of necessary resistor.
In first run your LED board by 2 to 3v battery and use a DC Ammeter to measure the current consumption,

How to make LED board (method 2)

then put that current value in the ohm's law equation with voltage that you want(for example 12v if you want to run your LED board by car battery)
Now you can find the value of resistor as follows :

R= (Vs-Vf) / If

Where:
Vs is voltage(volt) of battery or power supply, 
Vf is voltage needed to running the LEDs
If is the current consumption of LED board(Amp)
R is protection resistor that you need(ohm)

R= (12-3) / 0.231
R= 38.96 ohm


Power of the resistor:



P= (Vs-Vf) * If 
 
P= (12-2.5) * 0.231
P= 2.1 W


So i have to use 40 ohm 2W resistor for 12v battery.

This is only an example, your LED board maybe need to other resistor value.


You can connect each 5 LEDs (or 4 LEDs for white or blue color) together in SERIES if you want to running the LEDs by 12v, in this case you don't need to resistor to protection because the LEDs voltage will be suitable to battery voltage as you can see in following figure.

A2XWY; A2XFY Cables meaning; XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables

Technical Specification of Aluminum Cables in terms of codes So many times you have seen coding while specifying cables technical such as A2XWY now what does this means. Now there is nomenclature for the same which is used while describing the same. Where A -  Aluminium 2X- XLPE Insulation W – Steel round wire armour F- Steel Strip Armour WW- Double Steel round Armour FF- Double Steel Strip Armour Y- PVC outer Sheath Wa- Non Magnetic round wire Armour Fa- Non Magnetic Strip Armour AW- Aluminum Wire Armour Now As per A2XWY – This describes that it is Aluminum cable, XLPE insulated, With Steel round wire armour and having PVC outer Sheath. This coding is as per IS 7098(Part1):1988. You have also seen that there is coding for copper so there is no coding required in case of copper cables. XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables/ Thermoplastic cables:- 1.       XLPE cables have higher Power rating about 1.2 times PVC cables 2.       XLP...

Digital Multimeter working principle; DMM working

Image
Digital multimeters are most widely used in every industry as it used for measurement of Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance and various other parameters. DMMs have been available for very several years. Yet it is still challenging to locate advice about how a digital multimeter works. The operation of a digital multimeter is comparatively uncomplicated, although there are obviously differences in how digital mulimeters work if they're from different makers.Despite this, there are several similarities and some general principles of how digital multimeters work. Fundamentals of how a DMM functions The key process occurring within a digital multimeter for any measurement is that of voltage measurement. All other measurements are derived from this basic measurement. So the best technique for understanding how a digital multimeter functions is in understanding this procedure. There are many kinds to digital converter, ADC. Nonetheless the one that is most widely used DMMs in di...

Wireless voltmeter using Arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter

Image
In this project i showed you how to make a wireless voltmeter using arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter. You can use this code and concept for many other projects, any project which used sensor with analog voltage output to sense temperature, gas leakage or light , etc. For example you can put a LM35 temperature sensor rather than potantiometer, you just have to putting its formula which convert LM35 output pin voltage to exact temperature. You also can make a wireless AC or DC power meter by doing some change in code and hardware (using hall effect current sensor and single phase voltage sensor). This type of RF module has distance range up to 200 meters according to datasheet but when i bought this RF module from Aliexpress its distance rang was very low, but i set its adjustable RF coil very carefully and i get very higher distance rang.(Don't play with RF coil if your module works good), You also have to use a 6 inch antenna to increase distance range to max as possi...
