Hello all, I did a search and couldnt find anything good so far. I want to understand how to measure the size or capacitance of a capacitor.
I seen a couple PIC example that use the Comparators in it to measure it but no one really explains how everything works. Also most if not all code is ASM or HEX already so im stuck!
Can someone either point me to the right place to help me understand how and why this works and also... i see LC PIC meters which measure capacitance and inductance. But have a switch to select between the 2. Why not just use a LM339 which has 4 comparators and then a PIC to be able to show both at the same time?
