i know nothing. does that thing actually come out to be cheaper than just buying a multimeter?
probably not, but it is very neat
I mean that depends a lot on how good of a multimeter it is. If you're comparing it to a fluke then it'd be hard for it to even remotely occupy the same price bracket
But thats also an incredibly nice professional tool
I wouldn't mind making my own digital oscilloscope, because those ARE expensive.
Thats gonna depend a lot on how nice of a multimeter you're comparing it to. Its almost undoubtedly gonna be massively cheaper than like a 'fluke', but that's a really high quality professional tool. They're kinda the bar for quality in multimeters
around 100$ if you build it yourself apparently
but it has some unique features, the display is wirelessly connected to the body and removable
it has serial console so you can connect it to a computer and log the measurements
it has a module bay, so you can make a module with a custom connector to measure its pins
it can measure current and voltage at the same time
nothing else stood out to me
