Requirement - To construct a 680uH inductor by winding and measurement.
I know this has been asked before. But the solutions have been rather general. I tried building an oscillator around the trial inductor, but did not succeed.
I'm going to use this inductor in the Pickit 2 circuit. I donot know any other details of the application, like operating frequency etc.
At my place the max moulded inductor i can get is 47uH. So i have to wind my own.
So I can jus try winding different no. of turns and use it in the PK2 and see if it works (without measuring it prior)? Will I do any harm to my USB in the process?
HI,
I also faced the same problem and here is how I overcame it, I build a superprobe around a pic16f870 which gives me the inductance of a coil form the range of .1 to 999.9mH so i took some transformer wire and wound it around on a pen till i got around .6 on the meter, didnt think it wud wrk but it did and I am quite happy about it...
