AVR Code Debugger

admin — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 01:19:16 +0000

AVR Code Debugger is useful tool to help you debug code without require resource in the MCU you are debugging. It only use 1 I/O pin, and is connected to a serial port from the host PC. Using a VT100 terminal to capture the output from the Debug tool, all of the debug information [...]

Low Picofarad Capacitance Meter

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 05:40:19 +0000

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. [...]

Capacitor ESR Tester

admin — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 19:45:24 +0000

ESR (equivalent series resistance) is one of the characteristics that define the performance of an electrolytic capacitor. Low ESR is highly desirable in a capacitor as any ripple current through the capacitor causes the capacitor to heat up due to the resistive loses. Typical capacitor checker measures the capacity of the test capacitor. Some advanced [...]
