Voltage, current, resistance, and capacitance are measured with a multimeter. Understanding the required circuitry and programming an ESP8266 or ESP32 microcontroller to measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and inductance is a valuable exercise when studying electronics. A voltage divider and an analog to digital converter (ADC) are essential to measuring voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and inductance, which are described prior to the measurement projects. For each project, connection of all components to a common ground defines the voltage reference ...
