Hello folks, I can't afford a Fluke right now but nevertheless, I need some decent accurate readings...
I bought a cheap multimeter at Canadian Tire last sumer, I think it cost 10$ or 20$
Doesn't seem very realiable to me... I try to read a resistor, it barely moves and when it does it don't come still to a value LOL..
There's a multimeter and I think it's a mastercraft too, it's 40 or 50$.. hell maybe 60$.. and it's digital at least...
Would it be good enough, at least to do some DIY electronics and starting some EE tech courses this fall ? lol
I'll get a real one in a couple of moth (Fluke 87 i beleive), but right now it's not in my budget.
Looking foward to your replies.
And pardon my english I'm quebecer
edit: also, when I want to select the OHM reader, I get to select one of 2 positions; RXIO and RXIK, when I try to mesure a resistor, RXIO won't move at all, when I touch the leads togetter it's goes to inf. What are those 2 settings ??
Thanks guys,
