Capacitance Meter: PIC16F88 + mikroC

If you don't have a capacitance measurement on your multimeter, here's one that you can make by yourself. This capacitance meter is based on capacitor charging time. PIC16F88 is used to measure the voltage rise across the capacitor and finds the time required to get the known voltage across it. Then it does some math and finds the capacitance value.

The firmware is written in mikroC. Read rest of the project.
