Making a meter.

[joe-90]

What do folks think of this? Would it be handy? Could I make a meter out of it? It looks like the works out of a much dearer meter.

The expensive and complicated part is the case, the switching needed to connect the terminals fitted in the case to the correct points on the PCB.

Then there are voltage multiplier resistances, you cannot put 250 volts directly to that PCB ( well maybe you could but it would not be very safe )

Then there are current shunts.

An engineer could use it as the core of a multi-meter but to be economically sensible it would have to be a very specialised meter.

I like old tranny amps and radios. I was thinking about ESR (never heard of it until the other day) would it make it easier to test for bad caps?
