I really didn't mean for this video to ramble on and on and on like it does but I've got a lot to be excited about! First off I've reached 100 subscribers, which is insane. Also this is the first nice camera I've ever owned and filming with it an absolute blast. Although I have noticed that either my computer or editing software doesn't enjoy trying to process the raw footage.
Onto the actual point of the video, today we're going to tackle what I like to consider the basic four functions that most people are going to use when they pick up a multimeter. It isn't necessarily geared towards electronics, instead it focuses on people like me, just your average guy/girl that needs to know how to safely take measurements on everyday things. So hang in there through the slow bits if you want to learn about measuring Volts in AC and DC circuits, continuity (or buzzer/beeper mode), Ohms in resistance mode, and temperature. We'll even have a manual ranging meter in the bunch if that's your preference.
Safety Spiel:
Be careful when using multimeters to measure high energy circuits or high temperatures. Shocks, burns, and public embarrassment are very real dangers that can ruin the fun feeling of being independent and trying to fix things yourself. I'm barely responsible enough for my own safety so I'm definitely not responsible if you attempt any of the stunts in this video. Above all, if you don't feel 100% comfortable sticking a couple of sharp metal objects in a receptacle, I would advise you to stay away from that particular mouse trap.
