Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

@jcdammeyer what amprobe meter do you have?
I'm out and about. I'll look it up when I get back.
How about that. I remembered.
What I don't like about it is it defaults to AC voltage on power up.
Not the highest drive voltage for testing LEDs.

Not the highest drive voltage for testing LEDs.
I also have one of these. Handy when you can't open a circuit to measure current.

I have a similar Fluke. I don't think they are very accurate though. I prefer a very low resistance shunt and a damm good voltmeter.
Much rather have a metric one than SAE trying to measure 6 and 47/64th volts

If anybody wants a hot tip on meters…. Fluke is THE BEST undoubtedly, no argument, at all. Accessories, everything, the best. But you pay for it like crazy.
There’s a brand of meter, “Brymen” that is manufactured in Taiwan…..
You can get your hands on those for ALOT less than fluke, and the quality and functionality will not dissapoint you.
They even have some functions fluke does not offer or only offers on very high end meters…..
These are not cheap meters, so don’t look them up and expect to pay 50$.
These are very good industrial quality meters suitable for professional use, and for a comparable fluke meter you’ll pay about a third ish.
They have proper input protection and are all CSA rated with CAT ratings.
They also come with alligator clips, and their leads are silicone and very satisfactory in quality.
Also interchangeable with fluke leads
I have read similar comments on the EEVBLOG forum, if I ever need another DMM I would very likely order a Brymen they are very highly regarded.
There are so many unsafe DMMs with fake ratings it's just scary.
