Quote from: JKnightandKARR on Jan 09, 2026, 10:35 PMI'll remeasure with all 3 of my meters to see what happens.

Did the other meters give you different readings?

While we're on the subject, what's the scope view of the video output?

I haven't had the time to mess with it, work been sucky n I'm too tired to care about anything at the moment... but will do it soon.

Same thing with Commodore computers...non-standard keyboards.

...not sure if I found them all, but trying to add links to each post for those who may wish to print these models.

Today is my older granddaughter's birthday, and she recently got an iPhone, so I made this phone stand for her.

It was printed in her favorite color.

Foldable Puzzle Box Stand - UPDATED V2

My wife is really into puzzles. He daughter is as well.

I saw a puzzle box stand and decided to try a print for my wife first.

One of her favorite colors is yellow (sunflowers), so that's how I printed the first one. Her daughter's favorite color is orange, so I made one for her in orange.

Other than color, they're the same print.

Quote from: JKnightandKARR on Jan 09, 2026, 07:31 PMThe meter is fine along with probes. I probed multiple spots n got readings from them, just not much from there, and that was after the DC and AC measurments. Infact, pin 11 came before pin 6.

I have three types of probes for my multimeters (not counting temp, current, etc).



The standard probes that come with it, which are great for AC wall outlets, fuse boxes and automotive use. These don't work well for probing electronics component leads because they're bulky and not very "pointy".



I also have CAT III / IV probes, which are for high voltages and also have a sheath that can cover the probes to prevent a short.

But the one I use for probing electronics are pin probes.



These pin probes tend to make a better connection to leads on electronics components, having a needle-like tip that can even penetrate solder and insulation.

This is what i got along with a similar pair that has coveres like yours do that cover all but the tips. I'll remeasure with all 3 of my meters to see what happens.
