Need more tools with your MegaSquirt kit? We're broadening the tools section of our website to include some more testing and assembly tools. Items will be rolled out when we are able to source and test them - if we wouldn't use it ourselves, we won't be selling it.
First one up is a cheap basic multimeter.
This multimeter is cheap enough and small enough you could toss one in the glove compartment of every car you own. This is pretty cheaply made, so there's no auto-ranging, and you'll want to keep in mind that the readings may not be spot-on - we've seen it be off by as much as 5%. But hey, it's a lot better than checking for voltage with your tongue, and in a pinch, there's a lot of problems you can troubleshoot with one of these little critters. Consider this the electrical equivalent of the cheap Chinese sockets that you toss in your junkyard tool bag.
