I know this is a tiny bit off topic for this particular thread but for those who are interested in V 1.54 firmware, I just did a quick check of all the modes and ranges on my new 121GW that came with the V 1,54 firmware installed from Welectron yesterday. I tested it alongside 6 other meters doing a general function test, i checked caps, resistors, diodes, voltages and currents of all different values and sizes and it was very close in every test same as the rest of the meters were. I didn't expect them to match exact to the last digit. I didn't notice it to be particularly slow either or anything like that in any particular mode. The only thing I didn't test was the mvA/VA feature as I don't know exactly how it works to test it. I'll learn that soon enough though. To sum up i am happy with the meter so far in how it performs. Hope this is of interest to someone. |

is there an improvement of the slow reading of resistance? |

Can you share what you have so far? --- End quote --- Uhm, not much, just a proof of concept for another project: https://github.com/kopchik/psu_firmware/blob/master/main.cpp . I use ChibiOS because: 1) reasonably simple API 2) Supports Linux (and any other sensible OS) 3) Provides threads and queue support. This is a must for me for any async UI development. 4) Sources are written by humans, not a typical autogenerated rubbish :) 5) I don't care about power consumption, if a DMM gonna work 50hrs from batteries instead of 600h it's still fine provided firmware is better than the stock one. PS I think I'll finish my other projects first before jumping on this train. Don't want to spread too much. |
