Handy gadget to measure volts, ohms, amps

[mamu]

Putzing with the multimeter probes to measure volts, ohms, amps got a bit tedious so I built this gadget to do the job easier.

Supplies - clips, atty connector, tansparent carto...

Disassemble the carto... solder pos wire to the center post of each connector... solder neg wire to the outer wall of each connector...

Drill 2 holes in the carto sleeve... insert neg wires through one hole... insert pos wires through the other hole...press fit the connectors in place... solder red clip to both pos wires... solder green clip to neg wire of the atty connector... solder black clip to neg wire of the carto's connector...

Measure output voltage no load...

Measure output voltage under load...

Measure atty/carto ohms...

Measure atty/carto current load (amps)...

And if you want Watts... W = A x V = 2.26 x 5.32 = 12

Easy peasy!

Hahaha! Great! I've got approximately the same, but much more scary
