ESR/C tester project from Elektor Electronics

[hadihf]

Hi,
I want to share building experience with some one with this project.

**broken link removed**

Anybody out there who has already built it?. How is it performing? Is it worth all the effort and expenditure?

(Please do not ask for schenmatic, PCBs etc as artical is copyright.)

Regards

Elektor has a forum dedicated to ESR/C meter, go to:

**broken link removed**

and you'll find some infos (and FAQ) from who has made it.

I'm thinking to make one (seems to be very interesting) as soon as I'll find good quality schematic.

I don't ask for schematic to you (due to copyright problem) but I'm sure that soon or later I'll find someone who tell me what I'm looking for.

Bye!

I saw your post in elektor Forum about using 16F877A-I/P and 16F628A instead of 16F877 and 16F84A
Did you Do any circuit Or Code Modifications ?
If So Would You Please Post Them Here Or PM Me
Thanks & Goodby

Hi,

The meter is reasonably accurate and useful if you r in tv/monitor repair. The staff at e/l/e/k/t/o/r site is most cooporative. You realy need to register and post you questions there.
