peter g Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 hi all, just joined the forum. my name is pete and I live in s. florida. i'am a retired electronics field service tech for Philips . I built an l/c meter I found on an web site. its called LCM3. it works very well. I have some questions about the ESR in circuit measurements. there is a probe that you construct for this purpose. how do you calibrate the meter with this probe in place? should the meter display both the capacitance and the esr value? I burned the pic with Ver.1.25. does this code implement in circuit measurement or do you have to use Ver.1.35? the article for this meter can be found here: [email protected] p.s. i'am in the process of building Mike's version of this meter.

peter g Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 yes, the meter worked fine. I have built many esr meters, both analog and digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Can you point us to the most interesting ESR meter you've build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter g Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 yes, the meter that is really good is called LCM3. google it, I really like it, as it reads both capacitance and esr at the same time in circuit ,most of the time.

admin Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 This is a popular ESR meter across the web and we also have a revision of it published here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/project/advanced-lc-meter/ Regarding your questions on the first message, let's see if someone who has build it can help out.
