New Arduino Capacitance Meter

I've always wanted to make a capacitance meter. So I searched the internet for some codes and schematics and all of them were too hard or had lots of bugs. So I decided to make one myself with an LCD. I found this tutorial. I copied the code and edited it so it displays the data to an LCD. I works on microFarads, but not nanoFarads (I do not know the reason). But still, making capacitor banks and measuring the capacitance is fun...
The schematic


EDIT: I finally had the time to set up a repository for this code. (HERE)
Any contributions are welcome.

I am truly sorry for everybody who waited or couldn't achieve something because of the absence of the code.

      I can send the schematic to you personally, if you promise not to redistribute it. If you promise, e-mail, please?

      Hi! I would love to make this project to test salvaged capacitors from scrapped electronics. I'd love to have the schematics and the code if you feel like sharing it. Thanks in advance! Email: karl.blume{{at}}live.se

      Hello, you reading this comment.
      The code is available in the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/electricmango/ncm
      I'll have to dig through my files a little more for the schematic, and I shall keep this comment section updated just in case.

      You don't have to reveal any personal information here anymore.

      Hi, great work, congratulations. I were looking for a project like yours for a while, luckily today I found yours. I downloaded the code you provided in github. I would like to get the schematics, please. I do promise I dont want it for commercial intends, just for using it my own, and never redistribute it.
      My email is: turquazman@gmail.com
      thank you

    I am also requesting the code and schematic. Possibly, I can offer an opinion on why ranges in the pF can not be read. I would not distribute your work.
    Thanks for sharing a cool project!

      Hey! You can find a lot of information here: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/CapacitanceMeter
      I heavily used this page as a reference.

      Connect as this schematic (from that page I mentioned above): http://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Tutorial/CapacitanceMeterSchem.png
      Now you just want to connect an LCD to the Arduino.

      Source code is available on GitHub, link in the post.

      Hope this helps!
