Summary of Capacitance and Inductance meter using Atmega8
This project uses an Atmega8 microcontroller programmed in Bascom AVR to measure capacitance and inductance. It supports inductance measurements from 0.1 µH to 2 H, capacitance from 1 pF to 2.5 µF, and electrolytic capacitors from 0.1 µF to 30,000 µF. The project includes a specific circuit diagram for implementation.
Parts used in the Capacitance and Inductance Meter using Atmega8:
- Atmega8 microcontroller
- Capacitors (various ranges including electrolytic)
- Inductors (for calibration and measurement ranges)
- Resistors (for circuit setup and calibration)
- Crystal oscillator (for microcontroller clock)
- Display unit (LCD or equivalent for output)
- Push buttons or switches (for user input)
- Power supply components
- Supporting PCB and connectors
