Atmel Based LCR Meter For Cheap

When looking for a LCR meter, It is quite difficult to find the most reliable with the affordable price. The Fluke and Sanwa is way to expensive, yet the display are too old fashioned. Finding the affordable yet simple to use LCR Meter is quite difficult. Thus accurate is something really important aspect when choosing this LCR meter of course. It is different when talking to this China made DIY LCR meter. I knew this device around 5 years ago and reviewing this today is still worth to do.

The package comes with simple board unit and it is ready to use unit. This LCR meter using Atmel programming IC that makes me quite sure for the accurate measurement.

This LCR meter also very simple to use. It is only using one 9 volt battery and one push button to operate. When pressing that button once, it boot up and measure the battery condition. Then it measure what you put the components into the measurement slot by levering the locking mechanism on the side. The measurement slot basically only accept 3 input. There is 2 row slot which connect each other. The number pin are marked on the board, so you will not confused on what components you are put into.

I bought this LCR meter with the acrylic case kit. The price is about US$15 for all of them.

The case kit is include all I need including spacer and bolts.

This case kit is not 100%. Such as the top cover are to narrow to the LCD screen, then force me not to using it. But it is still a good case by the way.

This LCR meter is very worth to have. It is measure inductor, capacitance, resistance, diode, LED, transistor, but cannot measure Mosfet.
