TC1 lcr-meter transistor-tester fix
belzrebuth:
Is the zener diode test somehow disabled in the alternative firmware?
I tried testing a zener today (a 18V one) but no luck..
Gyro:
The tester is only capable of putting out a maximum of 5V (and a little less in practice).
belzrebuth:
Ahh okay.
Thought TC-1 could measure up to 20V zener or something..
edit:
@Gyro I think you may be mistaken.
TC-1 is able to test zeners so maybe my unit has a hardware problem since I've repaired it as can be read a couple of pages back in this thread.
I'm using firmware 1.34m.

Have you enabled the Zener test in config.h? The settings should be:
--- Code: ---#define HW_ZENER
#define ZENER_DIVIDER_CUSTOM
#define ZENER_R1 100000
#define ZENER_R2 12000
#define ZENER_UNSWITCHED
--- End code ---
And in config_644.h:
--- Code: ---#define TP_ZENER PA4
--- End code ---
You can find the required settings in the 'Clones' files.

The older models go up to about 40V. Later models have a different boost converter good for 30V or so.
