How accurate is an Arduino Ohmmeter?

It is easy to build an Arduino Ohmmeter, there are many implementations on the web. However, the accuracy is not discussed thoroughly enough. Here we try to make it  clear.

  • Read our paper (or if you don’t have access, our pre-print) for theory, experiments and instructions.
  • Use our on-line calculator to configure your Ohmmeter and to estimate accuracy.
  • The source code is available here.

Take part in our on-line collaboration project to test Arduino Ohmmeters:

  • View current statistics
  • Hints
    • You can buy 1% tolerance resistors in webshops for a few cents/piece.
    • 3k resistors can be built using three 1k resistors connected in series
