<\/p>\n
This project shows you how to measure the capacitance of a capacitor with a microcontroller using the analog to digital converter & timer modules. The effective measurement range for the digital capacitance meter we’ll be building is from 1nF to 100uF and the resolution about 0.5nF to a few hundreds at the high end of the range.<\/span><\/p>\n You’ll learn all the basics of this interesting topic and how to pick the design parameters to meet your needs. In case you need a higher measurement range or more accuracy or whatever. You’ll get to know which parameters affect which property and how to decide on these trade-offs. Let’s now get started!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Required Components For This Project<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
