Hi
i am a university student and i have a project in which i have to use a digital ammeter and i want to built it myself is there any one which can help me.plz send me circuit diagram of digital ammeter with all details of components. thanks in advance
 

Hi,
You have to use a shunt resistor or hall-effect sensor for current to voltage conversion. Shunt resistor can be used in small ammeters. The current-to-voltage conversion is done according to the formula V=IR, where V=the voltage, I=current passed, R=shunt resistance. I=V/R. Use this in your microcontroller code by reading the V using ADC and R is given. So, this is how you should do it. Then decide to send this to the display, either 7-segment or LCD.

Hope this helps.
Tahmid.

And also decide which microcontroller to use along with language and compiler.
