First episode of new elelctronic knowledge serie.
I am demonstrating you how to use a multimeter to measure
voltage,current, resistance and continuity. And also how to
change your fuse inside the multimeter.

It would be great if you put your play list in a sequential order so that they flow from one to the next.
if you can't make a playlist of the videos you want in the order you want, and if clicking the next video on your own is too much thinking and effort, you might not want to messing about with electricity. 😅

When I want your advice I'll rattle your cage 🙃
@@tassie7325 getting advice in that manner is probably why you have so much trouble with simple tasks. 🤣
@@chriswright8114yet this video, whose title is prefixed "#1... ", is the last one in the playlist.
@@Vandalfoe look, moron, if youtube is too hard for you to figure out then you might want to grab a juice box and get back to your coloring books.
I always watch your videos after classes sir, its like electronics 101..
#GreatScott my Great Teacher..
+Asian Kid Thanks mate ;-)
No problem sir, Thank you for uploading and encouraging people to be creative.. You really inspire me teacher..
It would be awesome if you could put the first video of the playlist as first and not as last, so people don't have to click always if they want to watch the entire electronic basics playlist
The videos of this series do not follow a storyline. It doesn't matter with which one you start.
Realised it too late. Great videos
Thought the same - just google for reverse youtube playlist extension for your browser and you will find one.
..aren't you entitled
Daniel Palaci iiiiii
Awesome that you went as far as to cover fuse replacement! Definitely part of the "basics" of a meter, but a part plenty of people aren't taught or aware of.
I only started watching your videos months ago... learned many things.... and just like that i was searching for your old videos which you uploaded when you started this channel.... when comparing your old videos with the new one i see the success of your career... I love your passion of educating people...
I went to school for this but never finished it, however I understand the rules, I was going to get me a fluke multimeter but being its super expensive, bought the same one you got in this video and the reason is for true RMS that was the rule we learned in school was to make sure our tools was accurate no matter the price. Happy I found your informative channel here so I can pick up where I left off. Keep up the outstanding information, its super helpful and educational. Big thanks.
Thank you for this video and the recommendation of a good beginner friendly multimeter. You produce really cool videos, keep it up Scott!
this is a good series. its good to find something that builds up like this.
Just started watching the electronics basics, noticed that u didn't had good equipment back then, i appreciate your noble playlist
Great video Scott! I want to thank you for uploading your videos of extensive knowledge. und so sage ich, ich danke Ihnen sehr und haben einen schoenen Tag
U R amazing bruh i learn more from you than the other chanels in my lenguage ♥️
I like when he said: "Which is BULLSHIT" :D
thanks , this is the channel I've been looking for, electronics
Hello, I am just deciding to go study for electrical engineering. I have 0 backround knowledge and I just found your channel! I am very excited thank you for posting :)
I just bought the exact same multimeter model a few days ago. Works great :)
i am beginner and eager to learn electronics i view your videos and learn alot from them tnx brother for making and sharing these videos i always share your videos tnx alot bro
Allah bless u for your effort and patient in teaching the unfortunate to reach u physically
Really happy to come across your video as my cheap multimeter broke again. It is time to spend a bit more and get a decent for my electronics, ham radio and rc hobbies. I tried your German link but. it was not available.
I did find a similar multimeter to the one you show on the video here in the UK - the UNI-T UT61E. Is this one good and reliable? It is much more expensive than the ones I had in the past but I will go for it if it will give me many years of good service.
Thanks for your advice and for sharing your very inspiring videos.
thanks GreatScott! really nice video.
It's time to start binge watching some Great Scott! Mind if I use some of your teachings for future videos? Credit will be given where it's due!
don't stop making all this basic videos, thanks a lot.
new sub just checking a few of your older videos :)
hahahha "which is bullshit" I love this guy!
thank u so much , people who watch this kind of videos r beginners , so i advice u to make the video longer , slower explained , And continue this nice seri
in a previous video, you said dont buy a cheap one from china .....you will regret it ..........and you are right
I feel ya, eevblogs told me not to. I thought he was just crzy. Man I was so wrong....
nah, there're good ones out there. like the ZT 101 / RM 101.
+Pavan Pratap Singh Chauhan
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about understanding electronics book try Letza Easy Electronics Lessons (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
This is not the Chinese, but the TÜV and GS certified German version of the UT61D for double price.
Yeahhhh i'm totally regret it😢
Thanks for the great video!
There is a neat way to save the fuses in your meter. You can install an inline fuse holder on the negative cable of the meter and have it around 80% the max rating of the internal fuse. That will blow before the internal fuse. Might not be useful for the mA scale but good for the 10A scale.
That intro with the 3d led matrix was really cool what program did you use for that?
i searched for like this exact series from when i started watching the EEVblog year and a half of looking only now did it pop up in the search
Thank you. Finally I understand that!
Thank you 😊 for sharing
love it! thanks for your sharing! Awesome ;-)
GreatScott!
great cannel but it would be really helpful to put all the electronics basics videos in a playlist so they're easier to find ;)
Can you set up the "Electronic Basics" playlist in the play order?
It is currently in reverse order with the most recent video in position 1 and the multimeter as the final video!
Is it possible to sort a playlist so I can watch starting from no.1 ? if you click play all it starts at the latest and goes backwards.
Hy man what do you think about these Uni-T multimeters? I have a cheaper one with similar features but it can measure up to 600V-some can do more. And Im thinking about getting the UniT
I like most of your video
you absolute legend
LMFAO that link redirects me to a frikin air pump xD
That LED that is shown in the last part of the video. The one on the board, do you know where I can buy some? I need some for work. Thanks!
Thank you so mush for your help
The resistance of my brain is too big to understand this
Shorten your brain
Sadly I think you mean the impedance ;)... you just need the right video for correct power transfer that way it will sink in.
@@deanharris-martin1849 Yeah, he needs to find the resonance frequency of his brain
I am a Field Technician In Texas and do Breakfix for computers, I have a Fascination for Electronics and will like to learn how to Soldier to acquire this skill set and eventually
work as A Component level repair fixing motherboards. I have acquire the following to start, Kotto Extractor, Kotto Solder Sucker, Silicone Soldering mat, QuadHands Deluxe helping hands, SRA Flux Pen, Tip Tinner from Thermaltronics, No clean Wick, Rosin Core Solder SN 63 pb37 0.8mm, HAkko FX-888D . Which Fluke Multimeter do you Recommend or other items i might need?
I was checking out the Fluke 101, 107 and even 117 but have no idea. Sincerely Irvin Thanks
Haha, it's great how you jump from explaining a multimeter to fancy Arduino stuff :D (with that Christmas tree inbetween to be fair :) )
Ja dankee :D
Jetzt habe ich endlich verstanden wie man die Ampere messen kann, ohne alles gleich kurzzuschließen ^^
ich habe es mit der Steckdose versucht ^^
Thank God bless you
You could easily test your fuses if you use it as a touch pen but you have to touch one of the medal sites an then with the other any touch screen if it works the fuse is still ok
thank you for this video!!! =)
THANK YOU sir, I became one of your students .
I hope that you will explain what is inside a multimeter and make a multimeter soonly
DC is definitely more common for me, but AC has come up a few times for home electrical work, and my Plus/4 has 9VAC for some reason.
great !
Okay, stupid question but I've been trying to figure this out with another device. At 3:31 when the MM is recording 0.374 A. Is this effectively 374 mA being drawn per hour by the LED?
I'm attempting to understand how to do this as I mod Sega Game Gears with a LED backlight and would like to know what the new amp hours are. I remove a bunch of components that power the old light source and want to know what the reduction in power is. Originally, the device is rated at DC 9V 3A (that 3A kills batteries!).
Ah or mAh are written on a battery and give information about the capacity.
So when you got a battery with 3740 mAh and you connect the LED, it will light up for 10 hours.
t=Q/I = 3740 mAh / 374 mA = 10h
So really quickly I wanted to clarify on something technically it doesn't matter which lead is put in which Port it's just the color difference right so if you put the wrong lead in the wrong Port it's not going to blow up just got to keep track of which ones which right?
Hey Jeremy (?), a.k.a. Great Scott, Happy to be a subscriber, for some time now. I really enjoy your video tutorials and projects, however, some are a bit beyond my skill range at this time. Are you familiar with All American Five Radio, Richard McWhorter, a.k.a. Rick on TH-cam? Very good electronics tutorials also, check him out. You will make a great electronics engineer, all the best to you. Be good, C.
Question : Is it okay to open up a power supply and mess around with it while no power is on or connected. Is there usually anything in there that maintains a charge while unplugged. Thanks
capacitors hold charge for a long time
gr8 video :)
How did you touch live wires? Is it something about positive end and ground kind of thing? Or was it just not strong enough?
Likely just not strong enough
I love you sir
Does it can burn if I accidentally connect voltage source (like battery , power supply ,or even 220V ac ) with Ohm ,Continuity or Diode range of Digital multimeter.
Thank you
2:36 It can kill you
Me: still touches it
I've always liked your voice.

thanks man!
Scott, can you help me with my new multimeter uni-t ut33b?
The "Buy Basic Multimeter: GER" link is linking to a complete different product. Could you name the multimeter that you linked?
What if I need a meter that can measure capacitance? What type would I get?
Could you try wrapping a copper wire around finger and hook it up to the oscilloscope and see the reading
Your "old" UT61T multimeter is TWICE as expensive as my "new" UT136C+ multimeter, which is a big upgrade from my 10€ Extol voltmeter!
I remember when I accidentally stabbed myself with some multimeter leads
Can you give brife knowledge of bjt mosfet igbtis and difference between them
Thx for the subtitles in chinese :D
what should I buy a clampmeter or multimeter
I have a craftsman multimeter 82141 but can't seem to find how to change the battery. There are no screws, it seems like I have to pry it apart which I don't want to do in case I break it. Anybody know how to change the battery?
Would you recommend the Uni-T UT61D or the Mastech MS8268?
metalerna666 I recommend both. If you have the money then go for the Uni-T. If not then the Mastech.
GreatScott! I will go for the Uni-T but now I also saw the UT139C which has a similar price (44€), do you know that one?
Hello great Scott I am a big fan of you video the link to the basic Multimeter is wrong this link is showing me a air pump for Swimmingpool
thanks lalot
Your playlist is upside down, so that instead of EB #1 to EB #X it goes EB #X to EB #1. I don't know if it is possible to change this on my end, but I thought you might want to know.
Did you study as a youngster/College/University?
Clint Eastwood he still is a youngster, look at his most recent video it shows his face
I need a multimeter for check the multimeter fuse?
I am very interested in this field what type of courses should I look in to for college ?
+David Kuhs Electronics,.... I guess?

Hi Scott, I tried to like the video, but accidentally hit the dislike button. I switched it but TH-cam said it “shared my feedback with you”!! So anyway I just wanted to let you know I did like the video!!
In a multimeter basics video one should really emphasize that checking current is done in series and never in parallel.
You should do a DIY multimeter tutorial
can u replace the 10 a fuse if it break?
wow...i just post this comment seconds before u replace ur fuse
Can you make a video about making a DIY 3D printer?
i love you
lütfen bu video grubuna türkçe alt yazı ekler misin?
Please
I want Turkish subtitles for electornic basics
1:43 Flying bullshit, I like that!
2:58: Thanks for cutting your wire! ;)
When I measure DC voltage from my DC wall wart adapter it reads 18V (it's a 12V adapter with no load, so that seems ok). But if I switch the meter to AC it reads almost 40V. I tested it with my oscilloscope and it shows a flat line, no AC. Anyone know why this happens? Is my meter broken? What's going on?
On my multimeter com or the one connection on my multimeter works in any connection

3:50 you said "screw everything". Why so angry? :)
he meant screw the case back
+Talah Hussain don't mind if I insert facepalm here :)) I was joking, bud, I understand english pretty ok :)
+Docolin Dan no ptoblem quite funny thougj
+Talah Hussain heh I'm pretty bored some times and I post retarded stuff lol
You know what I like more than multimeters? Knowledge.
can you put all of these in a single play list? please?
אחי אתה ישראלי יאללה אני לא מאמין רק עכשיו ראיתי בגלל המטען שהעלתה
What happens when you connect the probes to the wrong polarity when measuring voltage?
The multimeter just will show up a negative value
Yes, all that happens is that you get a negative value, which is fine.
in 5 minutes you learn more then in 8 years of school
The fuse is out because he chg the Amp range to mili Amp?
