Re: [TCML] Measuring capacitance

To use an ohm meter you could try and create an RC circuit. and with some fancy math measure the capacitance. or you could just buy a capacitance meter for 14.99. I don't have one myself but this looks similar to the ones we use at school.

Subject: [TCML] Measuring capacitance 

I'm looking to make a new tank cap this Christmas and I'd like some 
help from a meter to measure the farad rating to aid wiring the in a 
mixture of series and parallel. The only thing I can think of that 
would measure farads is an ohmmeter. Do they make a farad meter? If 
not, how do you convert ohms to farads?
