Multimeter Mod! Soft Power & Auto Off

[c4757p]

It really sounds like you people are arguing about an argument - that never occurred... I just tried to give my own opinion and a couple helpful suggestions according to my own experience, which you are free to consider within your own knowledge and experience and choose whether or not to follow. Sometimes the safety brigade really does go insane, but that hasn't happened!

How has the safety brigade not gone insane? They have repeated themselves about a dozen times regardless to my respsonse. They have completely de-railed my thread to the point where I'm considering locking it or faking the death of this DMM.

The thread is two pages long and the entire second page is talking about the supposed safety brigade takeover.

And don't lock it, just take the thread back. Have more to say about your mod? Then keep talking about it.

Either way the safety brigade somehow managed to ruin and de-rail a thread because only a handful of these posts are helpful, the rest are a broken record.

Let me get this straight: you posted about your mod and expected people to not talk about it? Safety implications are always a big thing to discuss with anything multimeter-related. Stop whining that people are actually interested in what you have done - what exactly do you think is the alternative?

I posted this thread open to, and asking for comments and suggestions.

Someone commented this might not be safe, I was intrigued and inquired further. After that was discussed someone suggested a more safe button. I replied about that.

As you can see I am interested in what people have to say but not when 10 different people miraculously have the same thing to say. If I've seen and replied to something than why must someone else and all their friends post that same thing again?

And are some of these people your friend or something? You seem to be getting quite rude and offended by my actions which I would not describe as provocative or anything other than polite.

If you are willing to spend $135, IMHO the best buy in a multimeter right now under $150 would be the Brymen BM257. It can be purchased from a member here, iloveelectronics, real name Franky Tong. He has an ebay store and ships for free or $2 more with tracking. Contact him here by PM to maybe get a better price.

But like I said, don't take my word only on anything, read up and see what others have to say too.
