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 ...

If you need to measure capacitance but don’t have the necessary meter, you may be able to build a circuit that can handle the task. For example, if you have a data-acquisition board or module that ...

An old Electronics Designer’s Casebook described a circuit that provided capacitance measurements of 10 pF to 1 µF with 1% accuracy (Reference 1). A number of issues emerged with the circuit during ...

ABB has announced the development of a portable capacitance meter, the CB-2000, that is simpler to use and easier to carry than any other measuring devices previously available. ABB has announced the ...

A suitable tool for sorting and grading capacitors, the Model 890B handheld capacitance meter is compact, lightweight, and features a large 4.5-digit LCD display with a resolution of 11,000 counts and ...

Adigital multimeter (DMM) may look complicated and intimidating at first glance, but once you understand the display, dial, and port panel, you'll have a better grasp of DMM basics. Multimeters come ...

This small inductance-meter is what every beginner in electronics should have to start in electronics. Commercial multimeters all include the ohm-meter function, more rarely that of capacitance meter, ...

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 ...
