Great video! I was screaming TEST LEADS! when you were checking the resistors again at the end. I'm an auto mechanic of 30 years. Learned the hard way of rechecking the leads before checking different measurements like that. Real easy way to blow the fuse in your meter and they are a pain to find replacements when you need to replace them. At least on Flukes. Also, a good habit to get into is checking your meter and leads any time you turn the meter on. Like you did when you realized you didn't switch back to the volt port. Been burned a few times on bad/ worn out test leads. Especially high grade super flexible test leads. The copper breaks inside the insulation and it's not obvious. I enjoy your patient flow with your videos. Can you link for the software program you were using? looks useful and user friendly. Keep up the good videos
www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/software-products/download.multisim.html#452133 I have the program from school. It's the best simulation software I personally have used. I think there is a free version to try. Lol yeah I felt like an idiot! But it's real. It happened. So I kept it in the video because I'm human and hope others learn from my mistake. I RARELY measure current it was more of a showing people how to. Thank you for your service! Mechanics don't get the respect they deserve. 30 years is a long time too. You're absolutely right great habit to check ohms on meter before applying it to the circuit. Again, I appreciate your feedback and checking out my content. I'll be looking for your comments in future videos. Always feel free to share your experiences, tips and tricks you've picked up across your 30+ years of experience.
@@SteeleOfAllTrades I'm really glad you didn't get offended, not what I was trying to do. Absolutely you should have kept it in the video, experience is everything! Thanks for linking the software, I'm getting back into computers and electronics more like when I was younger and trying new things. I enjoy electronics in cars but it's not the same anymore. Everything for the most part is software upgrades and or replace a module and reload software when it comes to the electronics. Keep up the good videos! If you don't mind me asking what are you studying? If you ever need car advice, particularly Volvo, let me know!
@@mattw1427 Cars are NOT the way they use to be. I enjoy my older paid off vehicles I know inside and out from making repair. Well, videos I'm posting now are very basic, but we'll get into cool stuff later like logic gates and all kinds of stuff! Open to suggestions as well I will make stray electronic videos outside the series here and there as well. I have a degree in electronics engineering. I'm at a point in my life where I want to volunteer and teach what I know so that's how the YT really started and is headed. I love good education channels and I hope to one day be one of those guys on here with thousands of little electronic videos.
