Low cost high accuracy STM32 FFT LCR meter
Adil Malik made a low cost FFT LCR meter with an STM32 MCU: The approach I took was a mixed signal one where a capable analog front end would be paired up with a beefy DSP processor to compute the Impedance. Most importantly, in this scheme, the DSP is responsible for discriminating...
