Best in-line volt meter

I mean they are not that inaccurate but the 2 second delay to get a reading. Pbusardo also uses a digital scope attached to it to get really accurate measurements. Although those could be off a little driving 2 meters. Anyways being that accurate isn't all that important even with the devices..if you change them .1v it's hard to tell much difference..I usually change mine at .2 incriminates. This has nothing to do with the Provari it's just about a digital multimeter is a lot more likely to be more accurate..these meters are $1 battery testers and they don't work on all devices. I would use one in a mod though and they are cheap enough...

Keep in mind if you use a multi-meter for resistance measurement that the leads can to the measured ohms. Check in the manual how many ohms the leads add so you can subtract it out from your readings.

Oh yeah the 1st thing I did when I got my multimeter was check the ohms of the leads..I also downloaded the .pdf manual for it with the specs..I have a folder on my computer just for .pdf's that has a bunch of them for most stuff I own

Yeah I thought about getting one of those they are not bad if you just want something to get an idea of what your device is doing and if you're not handy at building things. If you're handy you can buy those displays for under $4 shipped on eBay and build your own (IDK about the seller I linked to just grabbed the link quickly and you can get the tester from a lot of them).

They are really simple to wire you just get 2 connectors maybe out of an old atomizer and a battery connector usually 510 but you could put any connector you wanted..then you attach the + of the connectors and in the middle connect the wire/s to the + of the meter..do pretty much the same for the - except the wire attaches to the outside of the connectors. To finish you just find a box to with a hole for the display to put it into

I tried this and it does not read when under load... there has to be a special way of wiring it do under load(resistors or different wire placment and such).

Anyone know?


EDIT: Nevermind... Apparently it was the particular mod/atty setup I tried for the fist time. LOL

BTW I think the scope used by PBusardo is the DSO Nano Oscilloscope. The manufacturer is Seeedstudio.
