Capacitance meter
”Capacitance Meter” is a device designed to accurately measure the capacitance of an unknown capacitor. Capacitance refers to the property of a capacitor where electric charge is stored in relation to a potential difference, utilizing two parallel plate conductors separated by a dielectric.
In this project, my team present a capacitance meter based on the PIC16F628A microcontroller. In this proposed methodology, we present a capacitance measurement technique based on the principle of charging a capacitor through a series resistor and utilizing the PIC16F628A microcontroller for control and data acquisition. The setup involves an analog comparator that plays a crucial role in determining when the capacitor reaches half of its full charge.
