Getting Started with Your Multimeter

“Of all electronics tools, the multimeter is perhaps the most essential….

[A multimeter is a very helpful tool in all sorts of electronics projects, not the least of which is MICROCONTROLLERS!]

It will tell you how much voltage exists between any two points in a circuit, or how much current is passing through the circuit. It will help you to find a wiring error, and can also evaluate a component to determine its electrical resistance — or its capacitance, which is the ability to store an electrical charge.”
