Applied Electronics Multimeter PCB

Custom PCB multimeter-style project developed during Applied Electronics. The project combined analogue front-end circuitry, microcontroller control, LCD output, PCB design, and practical testing.

Project Summary

This project was built around a custom PCB design for a multimeter-style measurement system. The design used an ATmega328P microcontroller, LCD display interface, voltage range circuitry, relay/switching support, and supporting analogue electronics.

The work moved from early breadboard development into KiCad schematic capture, PCB layout, generated manufacturing files, and physical test evidence.

What This Shows

  • KiCad schematic capture and PCB layout
  • ATmega328P microcontroller integration
  • 2x16 LCD display interface
  • DC voltage range design and testing
  • AC voltage / sine wave test evidence
  • Relay, reset, capacitor, and regulator circuit design
  • Breadboard-to-PCB development workflow
  • Oscilloscope and measurement-led debugging

Technical Areas

  • Embedded C / Arduino
  • PCB design
  • Analogue electronics
  • Voltage measurement circuits
  • Microcontroller I/O
  • LCD display control
  • Hardware testing and validation

Questions

How big is the Applied electronics multimeter PCB?

It measures 81.3 × 101.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Applied electronics multimeter use?

63 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-AU, LM358, ICL7660N and LM385BZ-1.2. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Applied electronics multimeter KiCad files?

From the Harpur01/applied-electronics-multimeter-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/applied-electronics-multimeter.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/applied-electronics-multimeter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Applied electronics multimeter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Harpur01 before reusing the design.
