It bounces between .03 and .05.

This is stranded wire that I I'm going to upgrade to single conductor insulated copper with soldered tips.

Question: do you know which terminal on RM2 is positive - is it the one over juice hole?

Thank you. Killer idea beast :)

The cool thing about using RM2 is you can just unscrew the leads and you've still got an awesome rba :)

The easiest way to tell this is to put one lead of your ohm meter on the outside of the rba, and then touch each terminal post. The one that reads 0 ohms is the negative.

Great Idea Super/FB, that looks to be about the easiest and most non evasive way to do this. I always forget about the old addage K.I.S.S. I tend to overthink everything. I also thought that the cartometer that you had was an inline one for some reason :confused:


It's so cool I started a thread in the RBA forum linking back to this one :). You guys rock :)

Over there, Another brother, kemosabe, has posted an idea to make it even easier - Alligator clips to the posts :)

I like the 20 ga single conductor cause it stays where you bend it, like it stands up and you can bend the ends leads so they point down. Makes for a real lazy man friendly application :)
