Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on LCR Meters & Impedance Analyzers
I have purchased a few similar kits and this is the first with no printed instructions. That alone is not a problem as the circuit board is clearly labeled. You'll need a resistor color code gadget (unless you have it memorized) to get the correct resistor in the correct location. I am also delayed as I need to get a very small soldering iron tip for my Weller solder station. A magnifying headband will probably be a good idea too.The parts are all tightly spaced and you'll need to be a very accurate solderer. All in all these kits are a good value and fun to use. If you are an older gent like me, it is amazing how inexpensive these various gadgets are and how much tech is packed into each one.

The display isn't attached to anything other than a single pin-header, so it's pretty easy to accidentally twist the pins if you happen to lift the kit by the display or if it gets caught on anything. Also, the accuracy of this kit is rather mediocre; it's good for checking quickly if the parts work, but for proper measurements a real DMM should be used. I upgraded the firmware, too, and that did not improve the accuracy.

Purchase and delivery have taken place remarkably. After receipt of purchase you derive pleasure from assembly of the device. In a set all necessary details, installation absolutely not difficult. After assembly and in the course of use you will need the condenser 100nf for a calibration. Minuses: It is necessary most to do the case. Sometimes shows capacity of wires of a tester, but not detail :) There are errors in measurements, values cannot be taken as a basis. Pluses: Just magnificent device!!! The old tester often is unused now. Ease in assembly, setup and use. Price.... for such functions it is not a lot of! Compactness and ergonomics, clearness. I recommend!

Very easy to assemble. Doesn't come with instructions, but the silk screen is very intuitive. Good quality plated through holes that are easy to solder. The assembled device is packed full of features and is easy to use. The kit even includes a spare capacitor for calibration and brass stand-offs to support the LCD. Highly recommended.

I've yet to build this buy however, I've already bought and built an identical unit from another merchant a few years ago. These are great for learning both soldering and basic building and electronics technique. My friend, who's a robotics engineer with Intel bought and built one for himself. He says he loves this meter for his DIY electronics projects and Arduino fun. I like it because it's easy to follow and easy to operate after a small learning curve. It's an easy build though involved. There where no surface mount parts. All through hole soldering and fun to see, working after you've finished building the thing. I use it to identify electronics components from DIY kits and such! Works GREAT!
