PIC18F USB LC Meter

Inductance and Capacitance Meter using Microchip's PIC18F2550 connected to USB using HID class (Plug-n-Play).

* f1, f2. and f3 are the frequencies defined by the equations stated on Digital LC Meter.

added "Calibration option" ( same PIC18F firmware )

• reference capacitance range is 1.0nF +/- 5%
• Fosc (20MHz crystal with PLL) frequency range is 48MHz +/- 200ppm

 V1.2 ->  updated host-side application,
          -> should now work both on 32-bit OS and 64-bit OS hosts.
