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.

>>62308846

>he doesn't own a fluke or agilent

LMAO

>>62308846
Actually, I do. How do I use it?

>>62308846

I do, but I use it for my job.

>>62308846
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.

But I do own a multimeter...

>>62308990
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

>>62308846
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?

check my fruit

>>62308846
Most people here can't even solder.

>>62311221
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.

>>62311294
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

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

>>62312422
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

>>62311294
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.

>>62311455
maybe if you're working on shit from the vacuum tube era

>>62311294
find some tacky flux. it's magic. watch YT videos on how to solder and test on shit that doesn't matter.

>>62312630
Isn't that a little overkill?

>>62312667
no. soldering is 50% skill, 50% applying adequate flux.

>>62312689
How do I apply flux on surfaces that aren't perfectly level? Like buttons.

>>62312700
get solder with flux core

>>62312705
Thanks.

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

>>62312700
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.

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

>>62313616
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?

>>62313637
Do you still get lifetime warranties on flukes? I'm pretty sure that justifies buying new.

>>62313650
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.

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.

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.

>>62315764
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...

>>62318812
Few mhz logic analyzer can be easily bought off of ebay for few €. I have one USB analyzer up to 10mhz and works great...
