Normally, a typical multimeter is designed to measure parameters such as voltage, current and resistance over a wide range of values. This analog capacitance meter has 5 switched range values of 1nF, ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

When you need a multimeter for testing electrical equipment around the home, it's vital to know what all those symbols around ...

If you are just starting out in electronics, you need tools. But it is hard to build all your tools. Even though we see a lot of soldering station builds, you really ought to have a soldering iron to ...

This Design Idea presents a very accurate, yet very inexpensive, capacitance meter. It was specifically designed for measurements of low value capacitance – with an accuracy of better than 1pF – for a ...

Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...
