Summary of Simple PIC LC Meter
This article describes a DIY LC meter project using a PIC microcontroller, noting that dedicated L meters are rare in affordable commercial multimeters. The author built this device after acquiring a PIC programmer to test the design from a specific online source, which provides the full schematic, PCB layout, and programming files.
Parts used in the Simple PIC LC Meter:
- PIC 16F628A microcontroller
- PIC programmer
Here is another piece of laboratory equipment – LC meter. This type of meter, especially L meter is hard to find in cheap commercial multimeters.
Schematic of this one came from this web page: https://sites.google.com/site/vk3bhr/home/index2-html
It uses PIC microcontroller 16F628A, and because I recently acquired a PIC programmer, I decided to test it with this project. Following the above link you will find the original schematic, PCB, source and HEX files for programing the microcontroller and detailed description.
