Hi.
I was looking for a diy curve tracer kit for bjt, jfets, mosfets, diodes... Not many of those as diy:/
But I found a million different component testers like these.
Are they any good?
LCR-TC1 Colorful Displays Multi-functional TFT Backlight Transistor Tester Diode | eBay
LCR-T4 Mega328 Transistor Tester Diode Triode Capacitance ESR Meter NPN/PNP UP | eBay
They can measure transistors hfe and polarity, resistors, caps, inductors and more.
There are many different versions
Regards

Hi dynoPort
What information does it show other than the ohm's ? Does it say it is a capacitor?
For a film capacitor to go to a few ohms, I guess it would be a big value cap, and the measuring frequence would be quite high.
A little math…
The impedance can be calculated using this formula R = 1 / ( 2 * PI * F * C )
Since we do not know F ( Frequency ) we can use what we do know. Lets say you film cap is 470nF and it's said 2-3 ohms. Then we get:
F = 1 / ( 2 * PI * 470e-09 * 3 ) -> 112.875 KHz
Is that plausible as testing frequency for such a circuit?
