    would be a nice project. i have seen these also for sale from portugal but 68euro is kinda much

    Re: ESR Meter

    that dick smith kit is the best.
    i have 2 and prefer them over that 179.00 one with the tweezer probe.

      Good soldering project. Can't rmember how many exactly, but a LOT of soldered joints in construction. But it's not too difficult. After all, I built one!

      Hint: Found out afterwards that it helps if you read the instructions first

      If you look around, you can find a site with some useful mods to the basic design which may care to impliment during construction such as reducing the power to the LCD to acheive consdierably longer battery life.

      However if you live in Australia, a root canal from your local dentist might just be a less painful experience than attempting mail order from Dick Smith. It would be an act of supreme desperation if I ever placed an order again - not really sure that I could bring myself to do it. It takes a lot to reduce me to a raving lunatic on the phone but even I have my limits and Dick Smith Electronics exceeded those by a more than just a considerable margin.

      But full marks to them for consistency. On the three occassions that I have ordered from them in the past, they have always managed to set a new standard for incompetence. If there was an award for such a feat, it would be no contest.

          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 “E” stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...
