Microcontroller Based ammeter and voltmeter using Atmega 16

By
Here  Atmega16  measuring the  current and voltage by inbuilt comparator  .Previous post described how to read ADC value click here . Two  ADC port is used  PA0/ADC0  is  measuring voltage .And PA1/ADC1 is  measuring current .

For Advancedtutorials click here Voltmeter Design

                We have to measure 0 to 12 volt, but controller can only read as maximum voltage 5 volt .
Hence a voltage divider circuit used to reduce the corresponding voltage level  at a mximum 5Volt.










take
Vin  = 12volt
Vout = 5 volt.
Assume one of the resistor value and find out the other .
***********************************************************************************
  we have to measure current ,But we cant directly measure the current . there are more technique to measure the current. we uses a shunt resistor method .
The millivoltmeter voltage is taken and calculated by some equation and displayed as current .for more click here

For example .
According Ohm's law,  0.1 Ohm resistor under 1A current will give 0.1V voltage drop
