How To Use a Multimeter to Measure Voltage, Current and More

Electronics is an amazing subject, there’s a lot to learn, and many fascinating projects to create. To do this you would think that you need thousands of dollars of equipment; but you can do a lot with very little. All you really need are the tools to get you started; a Raspberry Pi Pico, side cutters, pliers and a soldering iron are some of the most versatile tools for the budding electronics enthusiast. 

But no matter what level of maker you may be, we all need a Digital Multimeter. A multimeter enables us to make accurate measurements of both current and voltage, can help us test and debug circuits by checking continuity and can help us identify component values.

In this how to we shall take our first steps with this essential tool. Learn how to safely use it when taking readings in circuit, and to check components.
