Fluke 8050A
« on: April 16, 2015, 02:42:27 pm »
Hey guys,

What do you think about a Fluke 8050A for a newbie ???  I will use it for general low power applications (less then 35 - 40 v , less then 2 amps)

They're very nice meters. LCD displays tend to totally pack in or go dark though so be careful.

This person did a nice job on his 8050A LED conversion. I really like this look :)

another guy did a hi-res bitmapped graphic display

So if you can get them dirt cheap they might make a fun hobby project.

Ooh didn't think of that. I'll snag one next time one appears on eBay. Cool project idea. Thanks.
