A LC meter is needed where, we make a custom winding of and inductor. Likewise in some applications we need to measure the capacitance of any multi-layer PCB.
Some LCR meter available both in domestic and on-line stores. However, an open-source DIY LC meter has done by an author a few decade ago.
I decide to custom my own LC meter with available component I stocked. However, I modified only the PCB pattern an components placement. Both schematic and firmware still original.

My DIY LC meter I have assembled. It’s measuring a toriod displaying 497.3 uH. It’s powered by a PIC16F628A CPU. |
