I tried some more modifications. Now, though a little less than theoretical, it outputs something...
For better accuracy, I'll try what you suggested...
Thanks :)
guys, if any of you have a design or circuit for a voltage controlled current source having a maximum current output of 500mA... no matter how simple or tedious, i would highly appreciate it... honestly I'm next to being desperate :(
thanks for the replies though...
attached is the modification i made to the circuit, on the ammeter it reads 490+ mA... but when i try to do it on the breadboard, i get 0 A... pls advice :(
you mean the output terminals?
i was thinking of inserting an ammeter on the output side to get the maximum current reading..
+Vout > Ammeter > -Vout > Zener > -Vcc > Ground
or you're talking of something else? sorry...
guys, i need some help...
i'm looking for a voltage-controlled current source...
i found this: http://electronicdesign.com/Articles/ArticleID/9018/9018.html"
but when i try it for a maximum current of 500mA (using LM324N for the opamp and 2N2222 for the transistor), it doesn't work...
oh, and one more thing..
how about a variable op-amp current source?
when i search the web i only find constant current sources using op-amps...
or is there any of the kind?
sorry for the "newbie-ness" of mine...
:)
guys, i need some help...
is it possible to construct a variable-output current supply using op-amp(s)?
if so, can anyone help me about how to construct one?
thanks :)
