… Tutorial on how to really use a electrical multi-meter? Sure, most guys can read one for continuity or voltage, but do all of you know how to track down poor connections or check for excessive voltage drop? Do you know what the various scale options on the meter mean? A meter can tell you a lot of things, if you know how to use it.

 

I own one, cant say I know how to properly use it. Teach me!

 

I've been using one for years - most likely incorrectly. I'm in!

Yes please.

 

Yes

 

Yes please. Appreciate the time you take here......

 

You Bet! I'm just going to shut up and pay attention. (I don't do that very often)

 

One should never think that they know it all, so yes, please inform me, its never too late to learn something.

 

Hell yeah.....

 

I’m in

 

I'm following the thread.
My father knew all this stuff but my knowledge of multimeter is very limited.

Yeah, I think that's a great idea. I've thought of doing one myself to fill a void, but I'm really not the right one to do it. But this is right up your alley, do it!

 

Yes please

 

I can't even keep the cords untangled.

 

I’m in too!

 

Yes, I'd like some simple tips on them. Hint-Diode check function.

 

I took an Automotive Electrical course at community college several years ago. The instructor could diagnose just about any problem on a a car with a series of tests on his multimeter, no lie.

Please.

 

I've been using multi-meters for at least 60 years, some of them professionally. Used one yesterday to diagnose a problem

Refresher class? Yes please

 

Toss me in too !

 

Waiting anxiously.

 

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! This old dog could stand a few new tricks.

 

I'm in. When do start teach?

 

I´m all ears. I´ve been using one for years and I can find out what my generator is putting out voltage wise... but anything else is a wild guesstimate.

 

What kind of apple does the teacher like?

 

Well, that's a response!

I'll do this in another post with a more explanatory title... Give me a while, I've got some business to take care of first.

 

Tell us More

 

Hell yes! Why not?
My frickin' TV just went dead....

Don't ya just hate it when that happens????
