I do, but it doesn't make me a hacker or anything

It's been buried in the basement for 15 years

you clearly dont either if the first pic you posted was of some shitty no name Chinese meter.

>he doesn't own a fluke or agilent

LMAO

Actually, I do. How do I use it?

I do, but I use it for my job.

I do, I just used it today for my USB voltage step up dongle to adjust it to 6V, for an air pump I use in my homemade diabeetus dispenser.

>feelsgoodman

I only know how to test my body's resistance and pretend it's my power levels.

>he doesn't have an oscilloscope

>it's over 0.09
kek

I ordered one from china like 2 weeks ago. gonna arrive in a week or two. finally I'll have a DMM!

Why do you need these

But I do own a multimeter...

You stick it in a receptacle.
Black lead in Common or Ground.
Red in Amps set range to micro amps
put black lead in the single hole and the red lead in the small blade hole.
Should read 110v

i know this is Sup Forums and all but give us some credit

Don't need to. My work has one, and I can borrow it literally any time. It's a Fluke 289, too. If I wanted to buy one that good, I'd be out over 700 bucks.

I got like 3 nigga, wassup?

post dick with timestamp then

and both probes in your urethra

I mean... I know how to use one. But I don't really mess with hardware.

check my fruit

Most people here can't even solder.

I have an iron adjustable from 150-450 °C, doesn't matter what temperature I set, the solder either sticks to the iron instead of the PCB, or is burned.

I can't seem to find a temperature where it's doing what it's supposed to.

depends on what you are soldering but if your solder isnt sticking to the pcb or component you arent heating it up properly
solder flows onto hot shit so if you are soldering a part to a pad make sure the part and pad are good and hot, then flow the solder onto the joint itself, not the iron
basically soldering 101

...

>indian dc volt meters

better

I used mine just the other day to check batteries

I set mine to 350 degree and I'm doing fine with that temp, just soldered my keyboard last weekend. 320-370degrees are recommended for pcb soldering

>usb scope
cute

Do I win?

>flow the solder onto the joint itself, not the iron
>basically soldering 101
Easy to say, not always easy to execute.

I'll try 350, thanks.

You are fucking depressing.

wtf do i need a fucking multimeter for? to clean earwax?

RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NORMIE

...

i use 320ºc as default, 300 for smd. the only time i've used 450 was to secure a terminal on a 1/0 gauge

320 is about right for leaded, if im doing fine pitch work, use a fine tip, if im doing phat pitch work, use a phat tip

Make sure you got good quality solder with lead that has flux in it.
Remember to heat both the pad and the part you are soldering and then feed the solder.
Also get some flux.

maybe if you're working on shit from the vacuum tube era

find some tacky flux. it's magic. watch YT videos on how to solder and test on shit that doesn't matter.

Isn't that a little overkill?

no. soldering is 50% skill, 50% applying adequate flux.

How do I apply flux on surfaces that aren't perfectly level? Like buttons.

get solder with flux core

Thanks.

Whats the best way to clean up flux after soldering?
Isopropyl alcohol or something else?

tacky flux is sticky.
flux-core solder is not adequate, you will burn off the flux on the first use and then you won't be able to touch-up your solder job without extra flux.

and yes, iso is best for cleaning.

What? It's a soft drink dispenser with space for 3 bottles.

i wanna do electrochemistry experiments, recommend me one, i also wanna buy a variable dc power supply, rec me up too pls

TFW he doesnt own high precision Multimeter from nonchink brand...

...

>fluke
>chink

None of those multimeters are fluke though.

niqqa i know i dont have pro lighting but cmon

its not even hard. i fixed a remote controller that had a cracked chip with solder. probably the worst possible way to do it but it works so i dont care.

>he doesn't own a bench multimeter

That has to be the cheapest, shittiest multimeter in this thread.

Nice o-scope.
How much did it cost you?

my fluke has a dim LCD. I was going to ask in previous thread but one guy was bullying over buying second hand. Is it an eternal battery or what?

Do you still get lifetime warranties on flukes? I'm pretty sure that justifies buying new.

it works fine just dim. if you don't know please stay quite. I bought a used fluke just to piss off muh fluke guys like you.

That particular one was probably around $100 but I have more.

m8 u feeling ok there? you're coming into a thread and complaining that your second hand gear has wear and tear, like what the fuck were you expecting

fluke not to be overrated shit. there are calculators from the 80s that still have a good LCD. Seems like fluke buys cheap shit

>ee
>3.5novideo user
dolan, are you trying to fool me again?

Actual electronic designer.
Precision and not chink equals not (low prec. OR chink high precision). Fluke is good.

I bought it before the
>le 3.5 meme
came to life so I was kinda stuck with it. I don't game as much as I used to though so it suffices for me. I have no plans to upgrade for the foreseeable future.

Almost every family I know has a multimeter in the house and I live in a third-world country

that cabinet on the left looks like this

Sorry for being ignorant, but why would anyone ever need measurements to the fifth decimal? What happens if something in your line of work is off by 0,00001 Volts?

>he owns a digital multimeter

At home i eat, sleep and shitpost. If i need a multimeter or any other lab equipment i go to an actual lab.

>multimeter
>lab equipment

enjoy your low input impedance, retard

There are some later analog meters with high impedance JFET inputs. No idea if he has one of them or not though.

>lab equipment

I'm an idiot, meant for

Holy shit! I have so much lab equipment at home!

You mean over 0.009

No, I meant 0.09.

It's not accurate enough for the work I do. I do my research with a HP spectrum analyzer, multiple oscilloscopes and a Keithley 2600b source measure unit.

My dad has one
On the last three years i had to use it like two times. Won't spend my money on one.

it doesn't matter what you do or say, if you didn't pay $300 for your multimeter then your a loser, know nothing waste of space and you need to die in a chemical fire.

>HP
>Keithley

so much shitty poorfag wannabee right there

dunno m8, the keithley alone costs 15 k$. Would you be happier with some electrician fidget like fluke, or maybe even agilent? Or how about quantum design and bruker?

I have little need for a logic analyzer or scope anymore. Plus space is at a premium being an apartment dweller. But I'll never give up my Metcal

used it yesterday to check mobo battery

I recently bought one because I was having car electrical problrms. Bought the cheapest one with the most features, it even has capacitance.

That is not usefull you are right. But when you design electrical circuit you can either buy high precision parts which can cost 2 to 4 magnitudes more (especially resistors are usually 1% +/- and those 0.1% costs 10 times more for example) or you can easily tune your cheap circuits with trimmers and voilaa, device for 50€ now costs only 3€. When you want to make signal amplifier for example and want to have 0-10V signal output with 10mV accuracy your tool shoud have at least 1mV on this span. Thats why this many digits...

Few mhz logic analyzer can be easily bought off of ebay for few €. I have one USB analyzer up to 10mhz and works great...

Waste of trips...
