Hope yours lasts longer than the 3 weeks mine did. What a piece & pile!! It didn't even last long enough for me to do a video tutorial, although I was able to make a blog walking people through using it. I set OBS to have scroll lock & pause turn the overlay on and off. Finally, a purpose to such useless keys!
Yah me too! So far I am enjoying my 21st century meter. :D If it dies, I'll have to buy something better because I'm not going to go back to using that Rat Shack meter.
Thank you for taking the time to figure out the process for getting things to work on screen! Definitely helps those of us who are looking to do something similar!
In 2004 I bought an inexpensive Radio Shack 22-812 to try out and loved it so much it ended up replacing my Fluke 87-III as my everyday go-to meter. I still have my trusty ol' Fluke but for everyday stuff I still use the Radio Shack meter and I absolutely LOVE it. I originally bought it because I needed a basic meter with a PC interface for logging measurements over long periods and the RS 22-812 seemed like a good deal and I can't say enough good about it. I use that RS meter for pretty much everything and it's still a fantastic device!
nice gift you got and glad you got the onscreen display working. Hope you can find out how to use it wirelessly with bluetooth. Maybe the font and color of the Data Logger can also be changed ?
The mat in this video is a kitchen table place mat from Walmart.. LOL Although it is not discolored by heat, it's too thin and bubbles (temporarily) where hot air hits it. I only use this one for a backdrop in videos. I'm gonna order a proper mat I think. Makes video look a lot better.
UPDATE: I finally decided to send the TekPower TP9605BT meter back to the reseller on Amazon. If you're asking what next? Yes, I did tell them to send out another one just so I can check and see if I got a defective one. Question: Has anyone watching this video ever purchased this METER and gotten it to work on the computer with RS232 or any BlueTooth device? Please let everyone here know in the comments, and if you have a TH-cam Channel please post a video showing us how you got it to work, THANKS: KR222.
that battery will deplete very fast I suggest using an ebay buck converter to turn ur pcs 12v into 9v for the meter and solder the buck converters output wires to the battery terminals
I got one: 3 buddies went to the bar Mr. Proton, Mr. Neutron and Mr. Electron. 2 hours passed and all 3 totally hammered, asked bar keep for the check. Bartender goes " for Mr. Neutron, no charge, Mr. Electron, there's a charge. Mr. Proton was surprised with the bill and asked "No charge for neutron?!! Are you positive?!" Bartender goes "No, I'm not, but you are"
very informative many thanks Jason . I like the fact that your videos are to the point and I don't have to listen to the back and forth comment like our friends jessa & louis as I dont have the time to sit through 2 or 3 hour videos many thanks
Why didn’t you show us the screen that’s in front of you so we can see what you are talking about and see what you are doing? You are showing us the wrong screenshot to follow along. Sorry, but some of us are getting lost when you resize your window in obs.
On checking reviews on Amazon this meter is ratings are extremely bad. I should have watched some of the reviews before my purchase of this meter, I would have never bought it. I’ve tried to call the help line, go to their website help line and their main website. LINK, FAILED TO LAUNCH HELP. There are a lot of other people that are going though the same problems that I am having. I would like to do everything possible to try and get it to work before sending it back. On the one that I have the blue tooth and the RS232 cable doesn’t work, and I’m pretty good with computers. One more negative review will not hurt them, but it looks like it has to be done. FYI DON’T BUY.
helloo becouse of You i have that one meter :D but i have trouble... aftter reinstall windows i lost my software for it can i ask You to give me a copy of software i cant find manufacteur site :-( thanks a lot Mark
Shame on you stupid software Developers, no one wants to buy this terrible setting device it has to be simple, Plug and Play//////what's wrong with this new generation
lmao! Hey, my meter paid for itself thousands of times :P I'm gonna say that given the number of comments saying that battery is junk, it is probably going to give out in the first day.

@@ststele Hi! How has it held up so far? Ever needed to replace it?

Can you use it without the RS232 cable ?
nice gift you got and glad you got the onscreen display working. Hope you can find out how to use it wirelessly with bluetooth. Maybe the font and color of the Data Logger can also be changed ?
the infrared is used for isolating multimeter and computer
+Ajat Sudrajat that makes very good sense!
Do you still use the Tekpower TP9605bt? Is it possible to show the internal structure of this meter?
@8:50 was that a digital or analog tongue Jason
Hi, i have a little question... whats type of adapter/reduction you use for connect camera to microscope?.. thank you
Can we download that software without buying the multimeter?
Would be very nice :)
Nice videos man, could you recommend a microscope that is a bit more budget friendly than the one you're using? Just as one to start out with.
Thanks!
Bro .... what about that new blue mat you got there ? where did you get it ? specs ? Thanks man

Amazon. Silicone sheet pan liner.
heya oh that's nice now we can see the meter easier
I can’t get it to work. Watching video over and over and still can’t get it to work.
So we wait for first repair with new DMM and your opinion about it :)

Hiya, I got it to work okay just trying to workout how to move it around different screens as an overlay but the meter works fine on the laptop.
that battery will deplete very fast I suggest using an ebay buck converter to turn ur pcs 12v into 9v for the meter and solder the buck converters output wires to the battery terminals
+peterizrandom I can see why you would say that now. It does seem very picky about battery voltage.
Tongue to the 9V battery, good way to get your electronlytes ;)
+Paul Daniels it is how I stay positive! :D
I have the capacity to accept that pun with no resistance.
Paul Daniels hahaha! perfect

Bro please can you give me the meassures of your work Bench? Height and depth. Thanks
haha you're obviously also watching louis' show.... great addition !
You need to download and install the Prolific software.....................
Why didn’t you show us the screen that’s in front of you so we can see what you are talking about and see what you are doing? You are showing us the wrong screenshot to follow along. Sorry, but some of us are getting lost when you resize your window in obs.
Nice video. You get to watch the guy read instructions.
Update, this app for the multimeter will only work on phones or tablets. That’s Android or iOS.
Fantastic job

Thanks, this was very helpful
Louis is gonna mod his so he is not blowing through a 9v battery every two days he said, but he streams a great deal more.
You do not understand Bluetooth or Rs232
Use read-ahead (!) to solve computer problems! Read all menus.
Man that Infrared cable looks WAY to thin for normal use.
always wanted to see what's happening on multimeter :)LOL
LOL! Testing multiple 9 volts in series to your tongue! LOL!!!!!!!!! WOW!!
helloo becouse of You i have that one meter :D but i have trouble... aftter reinstall windows i lost my software for it can i ask You to give me a copy of software i cant find manufacteur site :-( thanks a lot Mark

Shame on you stupid software Developers, no one wants to buy this terrible setting device it has to be simple, Plug and Play//////what's wrong with this new generation
rossmans provided peak battery gave out quickly.also I wouldn't use those spare probes or your meter on a rainy day.......
lmao! Hey, my meter paid for itself thousands of times :P I'm gonna say that given the number of comments saying that battery is junk, it is probably going to give out in the first day.
Wait.. I get it now... gaahh! Back to work for me.
recommended to use a decent battery as the chinese one will die soon :p
