Hello. I want to build this simple ESR meter.
I was wondering what you guys think of it.

I especially wonder about it running at only 2.3kHz.
Aren't we supposed to test capacitor ESR at around 100kHz?
Would it be okay/necessary to alter the 555 circuit to run around 100kHz?
Also, there is a "47uF NP" capacitor near the lower-right -- does that mean "non-polarized"?
