README
readme.mdMultimeter
This is my homebrew multimeter. It differs from standard multimeters in several respects.
- Only the most used modes are actually included: VDC, Ohms, Capacitance
- Powered by a USB cable, no changing batteries.
- Generally a different user interface because of 1 and 2.
Calibration
Calibration is relative to my Fluke 101 Multimeter. I know that there is probably some technical problems with this, as the Fluke 101 does not have more digits than this meter, nor is it substantially more accurate in voltage mode. However, I don't have a really nice bench top meter, so it will have to do.

Questions
How big is the Multimeter PCB?
It measures 68 × 110 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Multimeter use?
133 parts, built around the SC0915, MCP3561-E/NC, CC56-12SURKWA and LMV761MF. 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 Multimeter KiCad files?
From the schuyler4/Multimeter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/rev4/ecad/Multimeter.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/rev1/ecad/Multimeter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Multimeter design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
