"1 mA" and "0.001 A" have very different meaning. I doubt this thing will have multimeter-quality frontend, so its accuracy at low currents is not going to be super high.

Use multimeters.
Stop with the feature creep. That's how 99% community projects die.

(000)1 mA is still the same as 0,001 A and IMHO more practical for smaller electronics.

The whole point of this uSupply is it's small size and practicality, the need of adding multimers to get some half accurate readings almost defeats having a read-out on the display at all and would take away a large selling point.

I don't think it is a community project, Dave posted a couple of drawings for us to shoot at, in the end it is going to be a commercial product.

And you can estimate and order of magnitude just fine. If you need an actual measurement - use measurement tools. All in one never works well.

Me neither, but this demand for random features is very indicative of community projects. And in this case only one aspect was exposed, and people suggest the device should do all that things they want.
mikeselectricstuff:
Maybe an auto/manual range indicator.
Perhaps also remote/comms indicator if there is an interface (though could maybe use (flashing) padlock.
mariush:
Also , if this is a product that may be optionally working from battery only (disconnected from mains), maybe it would make sense to have a low battery voltage indicator
