Capacitance Measurements System Using RC Circuit

Abstract

This article reports the technique of measuring capacitance using the concept of charging capacitors in the RC-series circuit. The proposed capacitance measuring system is built using 3 sub-systems: (1) Arduino M0 board (with 12-bit internal ADC) to control the process of discharging and charging capacitor voltages using the digitalWrite() function; (2) ERM20004FB-2 LCD with
