LCRDT Tester

LCRDT-Tester

The Tester is a tool for identification of the electronic components and its values based on Arduino Nano v3 with internal reference incl. pcb schematics & code.

Compatibility list:

• Inductors

• Capacitors

• Resistors

• Diodes

• Transistors

• Vloss

• ESR

• Type (PNP/NPN/FET/MOS)

• hFE B

DISCLAIMERS

This is still "work-in-progress (WIP)" so I do NOT take any kind of responsibility for damages/data losses!

You can use this at your own risk without guarantees and put device on non conductive surface or enclosure!

If you like the new design yo are free to share it!

Have fun :)

HARDWARE

• 1x Arduino Nano v3 (or Uno for old versions) + USB-Cable

SOFTWARE

Download my adapted code and configure your setup and load it via Arduino IDE.

HOW TO USE

1. configure code adapted to your setup regarding used parts and display type

2. upload code to your arduino

3. solder the new pcb

4. put component of choice in the testing headers and read values

The new design was checked by the electrical engineer theBrutzler

(https://github.com/theBrutzler/ & https://www.twitch.com/theBrutzler/)

The new optimized PCB was designed with free KiCAD software (https://www.kicad.org/)

:heavy_exclamation_mark: The PCB should be produced at a manufacturer

(like PCBWay or similar) with the RoHS lead-free option for environmental protection.
