When you hooked it up to measure amps on the motor, the motor switched directions. Was this an error on your part?

@4lifeNerdfighter It must have been an aliasing effect of the camera's framerate

whats the last symbol for on the multi meter? triangle with a line

[Afrotechmods]

@phunkyphantom619 That's the diode test

Wow your a star m8 thanks best video yet. I can now use the one that's been sitting in my shed for ages.

Real useful tool. I only gotta cheap crappy manual range digital and an older analog (gotta be careful where you use these often due to low internal impedance but can be useful for some applications) but say the least nice thing to have around.

Hey I was being nice, but to say if I'd read the manual first and I'd know how to use it sooner is a sarcastic remark. So go fuck yourself with a huge dildo you miserable twat. I don't have a manual as I was given it by a friend who brought a new one.

Thanks for loading this. If I'd paid attention to my H.S. electronics teacher.

what happens if you try to measure amps and you set the multimeter parallel to the uhh power source?

[RMoribayashi]

@EndlessTacos The only way that would happen is if you were using a really old or cheap meter with no fuse and had it set for resistance instead of voltage. I lost my first meter that way over 45 years ago. I was only about 7 years old at the time.

WTF I tried what he did at 2:07 and it EXPLODED and I lost power!!!!
