This little instrument, named as Pico C, can be used to measure capacitances down to fractions of a picofarad. It built based on ATtiny2313 microcontroller. It has range: <1 pF to 2000 pF (guaranteed); 2500 pF possible and resolution: 0.1 pF. To read the result, this low cost C meter comes with 2 lines LCD. […]

This ATMega168-based battery tester allows you to find out the overall capacity of the rechargeable battery. It can shows how long will a battery last from the time it’s fully charged to the time that the “low battery” indicator comes on your device. It can be used to test multiple cells individually, and display the

LCFesR meter is a precise, wide range meter that can measure inductivity (L), capacity (C), frequency (F) and equivalent series resistance of a capacitor in-circuit (ESR) based on AVR ATMega88PA-PU microcontroller. It can be easily built with homemade one or double-faced PCB and available electronic components. dr. Le Hung, project designer, explained that measurement of

AVR microcontroller uses fuse bits to set its operational parameters like watchdog timer settings and change speed of the internal oscillator. Most fuse bits can be set or reset without worry. You can flash it into one state and then flashed back again using an SPI programmer. However, some fuse bits like RSTDISBL fuse are

The benefit using thermocouple sensor for measure temperature is it has wide range measurement (-200 °C to +1350 °C / -328 °F to +2462 °F range for Type K), inexpensive, interchangeable, and is supplied with standard connectors. To get temperature value from output of a thermocouple, you need high precision amplifier and proper compensation circuit

Designing a professional digital oscilloscope is a pretty complex task wich makes them also pretty expensive. Therefore I concluded it’s nothing more than a daydream to design one of those. It’s far more realistic to limit the design of this instrument to something a bit more realistic. If you connect something like the JYE Tech

LC Meter: Schematic Source code This is the project I am currently working on (2010-01-23). The LC meter is based on Elmcie or Elsie and other similar LC meters. This project is in a very early prototype stage and is at the moment only capable of measuring inductors. Even though I have build the first

This is an interesting voltmeter project that display the measured voltage on a TV screen, in giant digits as well as with analog bar. It also records the maximum and minimum values of measurements. The project was built by Alberto Ricci Bitti and was published in the May 1999 issue of Elektor Electonics. The circuit
