This project shows you how to connect inexpensive calipers, micrometers and height gauges to PC through serial RS-232 interface and see the result using PC software. Its main part consists of minimal PIC to RS-232 interface, +5V/-1.5V power from serial port, and 1.5V to 5V logic level conversion. “The connector on the measuring instrument [...]
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 [...]
This project shows you how to build a simple safe electricity energy monitor based on Arduino. It’s suit for measure how much electrical energy you use in your home.
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 [...]
