Instead I added it to the mV function:
* EEPROM address 0xAC changed from 0x00 to 0x13 adds °C to mV function
* EEPROM address 0xBC changed from 0x00 to 0x15 adds °F to mV function

ANENG upped the price to USD $32, what is this capitalism lolWhich model did they increase the price on? I still see the AN8008 on eBay for$13$23 from China.
My AN8008 just arrived in the mail, so far I've put batteries in it and checked that it seems to operate as expected.
Instead I added it to the mV function:
* EEPROM address 0xAC changed from 0x00 to 0x13 adds °C to mV function
* EEPROM address 0xBC changed from 0x00 to 0x15 adds °F to mV function
Can you read/write the EEPROM in circuit?
I've tried reading it in-circuit (using a SOIC-8 clip... which tend to be rather iffy) with a TL866 but all I get back is all 00 or all FF. I tried with the meter off and on... same thing. I think the FF's indicate a bad clip connection. I once got a connection where a few of the read values were non-zero, but obviously were wrong. A re-read gave different values.

Top # orders USD $32.30 now. But other vendors have original communist pricing.

...in the end I got a rebranded an860b+ for less than an8008 and personally think it will provide more utility. But then, most people here are using it as their second-third-tenth meter, so being smaller is better.
...in the end I got a rebranded an860b+ for less than an8008 and personally think it will provide more utility. But then, most people here are using it as their second-third-tenth meter, so being smaller is better.I looked at the AN860B and it looks like a nice meter for the money. I already have a great bench meter and 3 regular-sized (Fluke 177) meters, I bought the AN8008 because it is small - I want to be able to have an accurate meter for low voltage/power tests while I'm travelling without the worry that someone might steal, or I might break, a $500 piece of test gear. The AN8008 is smaller than an iPhone 7+ (except for thickness). Going all the way down to a true pocket meter removes the 'real' meter feel and my eyes are getting old too.
Buyers Beware
I bought my AN8008 from easydeal88 on Amazon - they sent me a 'gift', some kind of 5 cent plastic bag that covers remote controls, and that arrived late July. After I complained and asked for my money back, they sent me the actual item. I ordered July 15th, the AN8008 arrived Aug 5th.
Amazon don't make it clear that the item ships from China and I feel conned because I paid more than it was listed for on eBay because I thought I'd get better service - I was VERY wrong. I would probably buy from eBay if I bought another one.
All that said, the AN8008 that I eventually received seems like it is a keeper.

After going through that trouble, hopefully it will serve you well for a long time.
Looks like there might be a world shortage after Dave's video.
Anyone know how to calibrate the AN8008? I guess I could try to tweak cal when/if I swap the shunt resistors out.
there is still a lot available on ebay btw.

I'm sure there's a lot of eBay sellers who'll be happy to take your money then go down to the Shenzhen Market to see if they can find one, yes.
Can't find one? Never mind, the customer can wait a few days, just blame it on the postal system...
