Test Equipment You Can Build ...
~ The Nano Ohmmeter ~
What bench is complete without being able to measure resistance? In this episode we tackle
the basics of measuring resistance with our Arduino base board and a new plug-in Test Gadget.
Overview
This episode is a "virtual one" wherein N2APB and N2CX pre-recorded the podcast because of busy schedules this month. Follow along as we extend the basic Nano Voltmeter from last episode, to create a Nano Ohmmeter. No, we're not actually reading nano-Ohms, but we're using the Arduino Nano on our extensible baseboard with a plug-in to perform basic resistance measurements. Later, we'll be taking this simple example, and all others, and extending them a tad further to be much more functional on our test benches. But for now the basics!
