Bought a Multimeter
As I'm planning to dive into electronics, I realized I need a multimeter. And, I actually bought one.
Before buying, I had to do some research on what type of multimeter I should buy. I found I should look for these features:
- At least 6000 counts: I believe it will give me more precise measurements.
- Microamp (µA) range: To be able to measure very small amounts of current.
- Auto-ranging: So that I don't have to manually change the range every time.
- Fast continuity beeper: It should instantly beep when I check for broken connections.
This meter checks all the boxes. It is a Sunshine DT-17N and cost 3,200 BDT (~$25).
I’m not trying to buy everything for my lab at once. Honestly, I couldn't even if I wanted to. But there’s a certain charm to doing it piece by piece.
Instead of being overwhelmed by a box of 50 components I don't understand yet, I get to build my setup incrementally. It makes every new tool feel more significant.
