Measure the resistance of an unknown resistor using Arduino.
In this project, I measured the resistance of an unknown resistor(1k)

I got a reading of 1007.84 ohms. Percentage error = 0.784%

This project provides a functional digital ohmmeter, demonstrating the fundamental principles of voltage division and electrical sensing.
- Reference-Voltage Division Matrix: The Arduino uses a known high-precision resistor in series with the "Unknown" resistor. By measuring the analog voltage at the junction, the firmware solves for the unknown resistance using Ohm's Law.
- Auto-Range Scaling Logic: (Advanced version) Includes multiple reference resistors. The Arduino automatically switches between them via digital pins to ensure maximum accuracy across a range from 10 ohms to 1 megohm.
Accuracy
- ADC Oversampling Kernel: Captures 10 analog samples for every reading and calculates the median value, effectively filtering out electrical noise and providing a rock-solid resistance measurement on the LCD.
