In this work, we demonstrate a load resistance measurement system aimed at automating a vibration type capacitive energy harvester using a CdS analog linear optical coupler as a variable resistor. The CdS variable resistor exhibits non-polar, very low parasitic capacitance below picofarad and high allowable voltage over a wide range of variable resistance. By controlling a LED driving current of the CdS analog coupler, variable resistance range of 10 MS2 to 100 kS2 was obtained by 0.4 ?A?6 ?A driving current. The results show that the resistance is reproducible at full scale with a low error rate of less than ?3%. The detailed characteristics of the CdS coupler and the automated measurement results of the piezoelectric MEMS vibration energy harvester by using Arduino microcontroller are also described. ? 2020 Elsevier B.V.
