Hi everyone, I would like to share a project I made recently : I adapted a shorty device and added a display. it becomes a 0.1mΩ meter with surprising stability. the original shorty project is here : https://hackaday.io/project/3635-shorty-short-circuit-finder I did one showed here (http://kripton2035.free.fr/Projects/proj-shorty.html) and was pleased with its performances, but it lack a display. here is a video showing the measuring of some small values resistors : https://youtu.be/4F6QNSpWTos here another video showing continuous resistance measuring along a soldier roller : https://youtu.be/8mYyr9uKpFU and last another video showing how to find a shorted capacitor on a 820-00165 macbook air motherboard. fast and easy. https://youtu.be/L4V3BWReZLY I'm cleaning the schematic and sources, and will share it when it's ready. just teasing ;) |

Excellent. I look forward to reading more of this unit :-+ Fraser |

Super!! I built myself a shorty (designed a board with arduino nano, THT and SMD versions, but built till now only THT version; SMD PCB is done but not populated) and did several experiments and several changes. The last version is up to 5 ohms instead of 1 ohm original. I made and tried also few sketches as I changed/experimented the approach how to translate the voltage readings in tones/sound. Actually, I am very pleased, with all versions, original and mine ones how they translated the milliohms in tones. I was thinking about adding a display, and adding voice talking. I started with voice talking implementation. Then I have seen few weeks ago, on other topic hereon the forum, your post about your shorty with display. Since then I put it in hold and I was waiting to see your realization. I hardly can wait to see your schematics and source if you would like to share. |

I love the sound frequency proportional to the resistance! And seem have quite stable reading. Really interested! |

the good news is that inside the box everything is wired "bugstyle" on a perfboard... I will certainly make a good pcb with groundplanes... and add one more digit to the display ! |
