Autorange Capacitance Meter

Why buy test equipment when you can make your own? Edwin made a capacitance meter using a PIC16F873A as the brains. If you want to make your own there is code and a schematic provided on his site. “This is an autoranged version, which means one does not need to adjust the range settings. Furthermore, the measuring range is quite large, from 5pF all the way to 2600uF. It is
