        I would be more convinced if the picture measured the test capacitor correctly.

        I wonder what he means by another PCB?

          thats what i thought i think he means a bare pcb so you can put your own components on it lol. i am going to get more pics from him and post them up.

            The last one is made from a circuit shown in a Hungarian magazine, the whole schematics and possibly the source code for the controller is here:

            http://www.hobbielektronika.hu/kapcs...eg_oldal4.html

            There is another seller on eBay that I think used the same article to create a variation of that meter, his meter looks a bit better and was actually reviewed here :

            http://www.eevblog.com/forum/product...cseen#msg90432

            If you want something proved to work, go for an ESR Micro or Blue ESR or Atlas Peak ESR (or something like that). The ESR Micro you can buy directly from the guy who makes it who has an account here, RusMike.

                I ordered one for myself last week, he asked me to talk on skype and sorted everything quite fast.
                He's busy, it took a day just to get both of us online at the same time, but once we managed everything went fast and without hicks. So be patient, that's all I can say.

                  just had a email from the ebay seller in this link
                  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESR-C-L-me...68481718266767
                  this was his reply when i asked him why i did not say uf when testing the cap etc
                  Hello, 4.7 miliFarad is 4700 micro, and 57 miliOms is 0.057 Oms. I will send test probe with crocodiles, but without bateries. Some pictures: http://dtmf.snimka.bg/photos-from-gs....2486.26677296

                        Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
                        by chth96
                        I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

                        "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
                        Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
                        It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

                        Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

                        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...

                        Changing the scale of an analog meter
                        by jorpec
                        Hi

                        I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
                        I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

                        Thnaks

                        How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
                        by sam_sam_sam
                        About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

                        Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

                        Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the ā€œEā€ stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...

                        EDMI ATLAS MK10 Electronic Meter Discussion
                        by Stephan Mathers
                        Greetings, new guy here but always interested in the crazy universe of modding

                        We just finished construction of around 25 vacation houses, all inside the same private area.
                        Each house has 3phase power , and we bought an atlas MK10 meter for each house (25 meters total ! )

                        The metering on a per-house basis is done privately. Its not done by a utility company. The utility company will only charge us for the total consumption of all 25 houses together.

                        Id like to do a small modification on the firmware of our MK10 to make it easier identify each house's...
