hi all, i recently built the above meter that was listed on kriptons esr meter builds.there are three words in german that i would like translated. they are lade, entlad and messe c. can anyone help? thanks.
I would have to go off and study the circuit and code a bit more, but I'd say if the charge doesn't come up to a specific value with in a preset amount of time, the circuit would assume it was either leaky or either low or high in value.
Most of theses devices work by looking at how long something holds a charge, how long it takes to charge/discharge or the current through the cap once charged (leakage) or a combination of those methods. Note that the above is a simplified explanation of how they work without all the maths (I hate maths ).
Hi Terry, Many thanks for providing the information that should have been provided by the OP.
It looks to be a very well presented design with a good explanation of the theory of operation.
