Ricmeter is a device to measure electronic components like resistors, capacitors and inductors. It does so using a basic voltage divider. By using an AC signal with a programmable frequency we can measure capacitors in the range 1mF down to 10pF, resistors between 10 ohm and 10 Mohm and inductors between 100nH and 1H. Because both the amplitude of the phase are measured the meter can idientity the type of component connected to its input leads and determine the parasitic properties of the connected component.
The meter uses the principle that the analog signal is digitized early in the process and all signal processing is done in software.
The project contains the electronic schematics, a PCB layout (including gerber files), source code including intel hex file) and a 3d design of an enclosure.
