TC1 lcr-meter transistor-tester fix
<< < (75/80) > >>
madires:
Regarding the additional control MCU U4 (STC15L104W) there are two options:
- reprogram: https://github.com/atar-axis/tc1-u4
- replace with two-transistor circuit: https://github.com/madires/Transistortester-Warehouse/blob/master/Hardware/TC1-Mod.pdf
For m-firmware download the latest version from https://github.com/madires/Transistortester-Warehouse/tree/master/Firmware/m-firmware and use the settings listed in the Clones file (TC-1, old variant). Compile the firmware and program firmware and EEPROM. And don't forget to set the fuse bits.

Thanks What is the difference between these two options?  Which is better?  practical?  Which one can I use?
madires:
The two-transistor circuit mod requires some soldering and decreases the quiescent current to about 5 µA. Reprogramming the STC15L104W takes less effort but the tester still has a high quiescent current (you could add a switch).

"tester still has a high quiescent current (you could add a switch).
" i dont understand. this Thank you for your help.  How is this a problem for me?  What is the harm?  Is it enough for me to go back to its old self?  I will be careful not to make the same mistake again (testing without discharging the capacitor).
madires:
With the STC15L104W the tester has a high quiescent current which drains the battery in a few months. To mitigate this you can add a simple switch in series with the battery.
