A Microcontroller Based Digital Lock-In Milliohmmeter using ATtiny2313 microcontroller

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Metering - Instrument Projects /

A milliohmmeter is just the tool for checking trace resistance on a printed circuit board, tracking down shorted traces, and measuring the contact resistance of a switch or connector. Its the kind of tool that would come in real handy occasionally, but not often enough to justify shelling out hundreds of dollars. Wanting one anyway, […]

RS-232 Freq. Meter/Pulse Generator Based on Atmel ATtiny2313 using microcontroller

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Metering - Instrument Projects /

Simplicity in circuitry was the design direction. Zero mass (firmware only with no physical components) would the ultimate achievement. This instrument doesn’t have any front panel controls because the user interacts via an RS-232 terminal program at 9600 baud. I needed a frequency meter for my experiments in Nondu, Thailand, where I really don’t have

Preamp and 330 MHz Prescaler for A Little More Serious Frequency Meter using microcontroller

Preamp and 330 + MHz Prescaler for A Little More Serious Frequency Meter using microcontroller

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Metering - Instrument Projects /

Overview After finishing Little More Serious Frequency Meter I had planned to make a suitable preamp and prescaler for it, and set about to gather ideas and parts. I was inspired by one fellow who had built the meter and the 2 line X16 character LCD display to show the output, succeeded in designing a

A Little More Serious Frequency Meter using ATtiny2313 microcontroller

Leave a Comment / AVR ATmega Projects, Metering - Instrument Projects /

This is design for a frequency meter based on AVR microcontrollers. Maximum input frequency is specified to be 30 MHz in the multi-chip configuration, and in single-chip configuration, there are both 5 MHz and 10 Mhz versions operating with 10 and 20 MHz crystals, respectively. All versions have 9 1/2 digit resolution. I have  used
