I would have thought it would be easier to measure the RC time constant, rather than phase difference. It's as simple as building a relaxation oscillator with Cx + the parasitics as the capacitor being tested and measuring the frequency which will be inversely proportional to the capacitance.
Have you asked your lecturer for help?
Surely the purpose of the course is for you to write your own code?
I hope you've included this site in your bibliography.
Have you tried changing the IC?
It can be done using combinational logic, composed of logic ICs or a programable device such as a microcontroller. In this case discrete ICs (CD4000 or 74HC series) or even transistors will do.
Here are a couple of links to some tutorials...
Read the datasheet fro he sound card.
Sound card oscilloscopes aren't good for much. They're limited to 2kHz and if you exceed the input voltage you can ruin your sound card or even motherboard. It's much better to buy a second hand oscilloscope.
I don't think lighting is responsible. The speed controller fails when run from the UPs because of the high voltage spike given off by the motor when the current is suddenly interrupted by the square edge of the modified sinewave. You could try a choke and smoothing capacitor but I don't think...
Sorry, you're wrong, Google for Tesla wireless power transmission

i'm just a moderator so have no power to ban people. If i see a spam post I'll delete it but if I see loads of posts by the same spammer, I leave them for mixos to sort out as I see no point in wasting my time deleting them, when all they'll do is repost.
It's a phase speed controller which will not work from a UPS which produces a modified sinewave. You need to upgrade the inverter in the UPS to a pure sine wave type.
Here are a few products which should do what you want.

Why is that unusual?
It's what you should expect.
24V is the RMS voltage, when fully loaded, the peak will be 34V, fully loaded, but when open circuit the voltage will be up to 20% higher so 50V sounds reasonable.
