Normally, a typical multimeter is designed to measure parameters such as voltage, current and resistance over a wide range of values. This analog capacitance meter has 5 switched range values of 1nF, ...

If you are just starting out in electronics, you need tools. But it is hard to build all your tools. Even though we see a lot of soldering station builds, you really ought to have a soldering iron to ...

An old Electronics Designer’s Casebook described a circuit that provided capacitance measurements of 10 pF to 1 µF with 1% accuracy (Reference 1). A number of issues emerged with the circuit during ...

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or ...
