The digital multimeter (DMM) is an essential tool in every electronic enthusiasts arsenal. This Smart Digital Multimeter, however, is not your average multimeter, it features a continuity sound at less than about 40±5Ω, current/voltage sense, and a Smart Measurement feature. You can use the multimeter to measure AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, temperature, NCV, and test diodes.
With Smart Measurement this multimeter will automatically identify the measurement of ACV, DCV, resistance and continuity. This multimeter will also auto range to the optimum range to provide the best resolution and accuracy for the input signal. An auto power off feature is also present on this multimeter. This meter will automatically shut off after approximately 15 minutes of operation.
Note: Two AAA batteries are required to operate the Smart Multimeter. These are not included with this product and will need to be purchased separately.
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

I love it so far.
The one I had been gifted before stopped working well, so I got rid of it, and looked for a replacement. I like that sparkfun uses the stuff they sell, so I came here first. I was surprised that an auto-ranging multimeter would be so inexpensive and decided to go for it.
I'm not exactly a daily driver of electronics kit, but I've used it for a few things here and there. It's great, works perfectly. I'd definitely recommend it.
Wow! This is a cheap autoranging multimeter!
