    Re: Bad cap reading 4x high?

    STJ and Victor, thank you! Calibration was the trick. BTW I just ordered a DER DE-5000 as well for advanced in circuit testing

    Basically calibration made it 10x times beter.


    Also, my high end calibration jig. PM me to order one.

        On a side note, anyone know what frequency and wave type the LCR-T4 uses?

                I don't know what's going on with image insertion. I did go advanced and use the image button, used imgur url links. I can see them fine once I post it. Are you guys messing with me??

                Anyways, here's the imgur link

                    I uploaded offsite pics and deleted the discussion about the missing pics.
                    Please upload pics in the future: my favorite past time actually is not to upload pictures!

                    Nice work with the meter, as you can see it's really awesome and yes you can update it's firmware too.
                    There is a thread here on Badcaps about it: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=50720
                    But the main thread is over at EEVBlog: http://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgea...ecker-project/
                    Or if you speak German this thread: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/248078

                        OTHER WORLD COMPUTING OWCTB3DK13PSL OWC 13 Port Thunderbolt 3 Dock - Disconnects when READING from External HD at high speeds
                        by KYBOSH
                        Weird one and way out of my league but I thought i drop it here in case anyone might have an idea on where to start looking.

                        I have a Thunderbolt Dock that has been behaving fine for a long time.
                        Admittedly I have only used it for menial data transfer tasks.

                        A few days ago I connected a USB-C external hard drive to it and wanted to test the transfer speeds.
                        I connected the proper high speed cables (USB-C to USB-C) and started the test with BlackMagic Disk Speed Test.
                        It wrote to the disk just fine. Got nearly 900MB/s+ write speeds but when it came time...

                        by sam_sam_sam
                        I have been in need of a mega ohm meter for a while but just could not make up my mind to which one I want to buy and this one has a couple of things going for it can also be used on a computer to display a resistance graph plus it is a kit that you put together supposedly the only parts installed are the surface mount components

                        I will probably make a rechargeable battery pack for so it can be used as a portable device and anywhere

                        I kind a wish that it had a higher resistance value higher than 240 ohms at 10 milliamperes on high range but it is what it it

                        Hi all!

                        I just bought a pair of ADS L810 speakers, which I've heard are some of the best speakers from that time (late 70's) into the early 80's. I was super excited to test them out and hooked them up and I was very underwhelmed by the treble. The treble was awfully muffled. I've been doing some restoration work on 70's stereos and a couple of speakers here and there so I am really just a beginner. I do know that capacitors in speaker crossovers filter out the lows to allow only the highs up to the tweeters and mids. Inductors filter out the highs to allow the lower frequencies to...

                        lowest current galvanometer/analog meter (passively powered!)
                        by eccerr0r
                        Most analog meters are actually current driven - a current is needed to deflect the pointer full scale. They can be lots of different values. There are ones that can take several amperes to swing the pointer as they have internal shunts.

                        On the other hand there are many that are rated in microamps for the intent that they draw as little power as possible from the devices under test. Some are 1mA, 500µA, 200µA, 100µA, and the ubiquitous 50µA frequently used in analog VOMs. There are even 20, 25, 30 µA and even down to 10µA. Been collecting a bunch of different ratings and...

                        Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
                        by sam_sam_sam
                        I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

                        I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...
