I did something similar using just 2 (555 timers). First timer was a constant frequency and the second one(controlled by unknown cap) was used as a gate time. The larger the cap, the longer the gate time. The number of clock pulses counted going through the gate was equal to the value of the capacitor.
Great video. I wasn't expecting all the different types of measuring capacitance. A short summary of what the video was about in the beginning would have been useful.
to: Electronoobs ; ; Your project is the best and careful but the connections between the jumps of ardruino module , jumps of test board, the male jumps of wires, they will be able to make more capacitance and more resistance . I think and I like your project to examine and study . Thank you so much !
Much better is to measure voltage to 3*RC (threshold = 973) because voltage there changes slower (relative to frequency of measurements) and the measurement will be more accurate.
Please help me on the code. I use codevision to write the code for atmega328p microcontroller and protuse to see simulation but it read adc value of 961 for 10pf which is not the same with arduino adc value which is 296.
Great video, but when I tried uploading the sketch to my arduino, I got this error message: exit status 1 Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno Any ideas on what I need to do in order to upload it?
In capacitance meter from 1pF to 1nF how do you get ADC read value? i have precice value from a know capacitor and max value is always 1023 but where does it show the *ADC real value* ? please help. wish you a nice day
Great! I tried to do it, for the first and second circuit, it working perfectly. But I I got the problem when you use Arduino nano for the third circuit. Can you do it using Arduino uno for the third circuit?
in final code you define charge pin to 5 but 10k resistor end is connected to a6 then you define discharge pin 6 but connect 220 ohm resistor end to a1.please correct this mistakes and make one more video and implement all in one capacitance meter and show us its working
Is the code you shared for all 4 projects? Inductance, capacitance, current and resistance? If that's what I've been looking for, thank you very much and a very good project I liked
jurgen martinez there is a code for each meter. If you want you could merge them together and use a rotary switch to change between modes. O haven't done that yet. But I'll do it in the future so till then maybe you could try... Keep up!
measuring capacitance at various frequencies is far more sophisticated. explanation: A capacitor has leads and internal conductors that give rise to Resistive and Inductive elements: permanently connected to the capacitive element ! Hence at sufficiently high frequencies these elements create resistance that varies with frequency and resonance due to the inductive reactance that becomes equal to the reactance of the capaciticitor.
Hi, great video but I realy do not understand how you would know when a capacitor is charged 100%. You get 63.2% of what? IN this case you use the 5 volt of the arduino and you wait until you reach 3.6 volt (63.2% of 5 volt) and see how long it took to get there. But what if you do this at 3.3 volt? do you that wait until you reach 2.0856 volts? (63.2% of 3.3) and get the same answer? Does it work that way? It has just been something I have been wondering about. They say you need a capacitor of x Farad in a certain example. But my projects never match the voltages and that alway makes me wonder if I should use a different cap or not. (yes I know about the volt limit on the cap and to stay well below it) but for eaxmaple: suppose you have a 1uf 160 volt cap and a 1uf 16 volt cap and you use it at max 5 volts would they behave the same?
brother can you provide me code for capacitor meter which doesn't require components like you made i want to test capacitor range 1pf to 1nf thanks time stamp 8.54 i want same meter
I'm confused. E.g. at 3:30, I simply log the tie it took to reach 63.2% of unknown time which equals 100%. Does that mean Test No1 to log when the voltage stops rising and record as 100% then Test No 2 and stop counting when 63.2%of X is reached?
Like: From Los Anggeles, drive 63.2% to New York without knowing the distance between them. So, must know 100% first, then calculate 63.2% of 100%. Right?
In your code you say "remember to check out my youtube channel, but there is no mention of your name or any links", you might want to add some for people who may find the code elsewhere.... ...or you might not want to do that, just bringing it up just in case.
Thanks, but I think the channel link is shared! It's shared in the downloaded ZIP code not on my webpage, since my webpage is full of TH-cam links and all. Keep up!
That doesn't matter. Try different i2c address sometimes is 0x3f and sometimes is 0x27. In the first lines of code also change from 20, 4 to 16, 2. Good day!

please recheck Cu calculation i think Cu = Va0xC1/Va2-Va0.
The problem with using the internal pullup is that it is approximate, varies from chip to chip, and changes with temperature and voltage.
Thank your explenations. But I think you upload the same code for "low and "high"

Can anybody tell me how DMM(multimeter) measures the Capacitance
What frequency it is measuring capacitance at?
measuring capacitance at various frequencies is far more sophisticated.
explanation:
A capacitor has leads and internal conductors that give rise to Resistive and Inductive
elements: permanently connected to the capacitive element !
Hence at sufficiently high frequencies these elements create resistance that varies with frequency
and resonance due to the inductive reactance that becomes equal to the reactance of the capaciticitor.
Tell me why when the capacitor is not connected shows 12 nano farads?

Use any other capacitance meter or a capacitor that you know its value to test the meter.
