Topics:

Bud Industries - Board-ganizer Enclosure Kit

• Combine breadboards and evaluation boards into an enclosure

Fluke 87V multimeter Vs Centech 61593 (also got a rigol DS2072 oscilloscope)

• $520 vs $39.99
• 6000 count vs 2000 count
  • Fluke can do “High Res” mode and go to 20,000 count
• Autorange vs range select
  • Benefits of both
  • Manual range might be better for keeping your ducks in a row.
• Main difference - the fluke is basically 4x or better on nearly all measurement accuracy
• The all important beep test
• Parker uses a ‘Velleman’ DVM850BL
