hi fellow coders,
i have wondered for a long time, is it possible to make a meter to measure voltage and amps and maybe even ohmage using a uc. i think it would be a cool project.
do you think it would work? i know it would probebbly be very difficult but think it can sell if we make it good. i have already found friend who can draw a circuit. i am probably the best you can see at writing code. but i dont want to start if it cannot be done.
plz give advice quick. i want to make a report of a project very soon.
"think it can sell if we make it good"
What would be its USP; ie, it Unique Selling Point?
In other words, why do you think people would want to buy this rather than any of the very many other multimeters already available on the market?
Well, maybe because he does not realize that just about any multimeter you can get your hands on nowadays contains at least one microcontroller...
"[...] it sounded a bit like one of these Nigerian bank fraud emails that I sometimes receive."
Yes it did, which was why I assumed it to be a joke. Especially since a microcontroller-based multimeter isn't exactly uncommon :)
