Re: Very low power flashing LED circuit
Why not use a Zener diode (say 10V) in series with a couple of Schottky diodes to drop 10.4V from the 12V line and connect this via a bias resistor to an NPN transistor with a LED and resistor in its

Re: Very low power flashing LED circuit
RV supply places sell a voltmeter with three LEDs for charged, low, flat as in lead acid 6 cells. Probably on aliexpress or ebay or amazon also.

Re: Very low power flashing LED circuit
The information from Peter and David was instructive. I am working on a data logger which needs to start logging events that occur before a trigger condition to show what event caused the trigger.

Re: Low frequency LCR meter
I second Don¡¯s recommendation. My HP4192A has no trouble testing components down to 5Hz with good resolution. It also works well for big Capacitors, too. I needed to measure a 58F (6 series 350F)

Re: Low frequency LCR meter
Dr.Kirby, Possible a better method would be to use a low frequency VNA, such as a HPAK - 89410A Vector Signal Analyzer, DC to 10 MHz - - or equivalent. You should be able to extract the vector

Re: Low frequency LCR meter
Not an LCR meter, but you can improvise this fixture: Generate 10Hz sine, 10V. From this signal, generate 0.1V with exactly 180 degrees phase. Connect the C under test to the 10V. Connect a variable R
