Collin's Lab: Multimeters

[@amtpdb1]

We need more videos from Collin!

[@retiredump7038]

We need more cowbell.

[@vwbeetle5578]

What you smoking?

[@brandonthetinkerer]

@@retiredump7038 more colinbell!

[@supercheekykiwi]

Collin's videos are the only reason I look at this channel. really helpful. more collin please.

[@abramharrison5604]

Of all the people on KZbin, Colin has got to be my favorite.

[@bigsby19]

I could watch these quirky informative videos all day.

[@Lagggerengineering]

This is a really great guide! You are doing funny things, but all of them actually make sense and do not take away from the meaning. Really really great job guys!

[@Grid21]

YES!! He's back!! I have really missed his videos and I am so glad to see this kind of video being made! Please keep making more videos so I can keep learning! Welcome back Collin Cunningham !!! :D

[@JamisonPantley]

So happy to see Collin's Lab bac!

[@bartl7436]

Glad these videos are coming back! And good to see Lady Ada too!

[@SJFrzrbrn]

Collin... The best thing to happen to Adafruit ever.

[@francoisbortoletto3471]

Oh man,COLLIN'S BACK !!!!!!!!!!! Thank-you.Thank-you.Thank-you. Love this guy.

[@YeahItsThatBad]

Oh man, I was so excited when I saw this pop up in my subscriptions! I love that you kept the original music!

[@Kjata316]

I've learned so much from Collin! I am so excited that he's back doing these awesome videos!!!!!

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

I'm so glad Collin Cunningham is back! I LOVED his videos and he's one of the biggest reasons why my workbench is covered in projects!! Thank you Collin Cunningham and Adafruit Industries! You guys are boss, and are making me want to do MORE projects!

[@techtechnicalgaming]

Happy to see these type of people exists from 2005 who made so many useful videos😊 You deserve atleast 1M subs❤

[@pbp6741]

Delighted to see this series picked up again.

[@mart82890]

Thanks for the new series. I am happy Collin Cunningham is making videos. He has a great style to explain and make ideas understandable. I hope this becomes a weekly show.

[@itchyliabdo]

Collin is a super legend. Great to see you back in action

[@NormFasey]

Yes! Collin Cunningham is back!!

[@ThatNateGuy]

If I may suggest a tip that will not only be helpful to new/aspiring/amateur EEs but also possibly generate more traffic and hopefully revenue for Adafruit, when showing some of the special tech like those specialized tweezers for testing continuity and probe voltmeter, maybe provide a link to such products for sale on Adafruit or some other place where we can read more. Awesome tutorials and site. You guys do awesome work!

[@mattrenegar476]

Awesome! really glad to see Collin's Lab is back!!

[@CivSiNJ]

Thank you for returning brother

[@ELECTROMAN_MX]

Gracias Adafruit por permitirnos saber más de electrónica.

[@_Yek]

Wow, finally, collin is alive!!!

[@0h2ezy]

I have followed Colin for sometime. I thoroughly enjoy his electronics videos. I felt lady Ada was a little intrusive in this video. Forced if you will.

[@zach4505]

Agreed, They are two very different styles. Collin's Lab is art just as much as informative. A fun challenge for them to see if their styles can be shared more seamlessly.

[@imho2278]

They have developed their pair personas...he, focussed, her, diverting his focus to her ideas. Then once she has left, he refocuses. Mildly entertaining if not carried to extremes. She acts rather like a cat, in fact....

[@bakedbeings]

Dang, not a physics pun.

[@AzureFlash]

It's a late Christmas miracle!!!

[@Dinkerlamp]

4:20, Closing Time reference?

[@StereoBucket]

Oh man,can't believe I missed your amazing return. Well better late than never. Nice to see you making more interesting videos.

[@RobertNuno]

+Collin Cunningham , my son Ethan says that you are a smart guy. We are trying to learn electronics and you, Lady Ada and AdaFruit have been most helpful. Playlists like this and Circuit Playground are great. Thank you!

[@oliverjunge8671]

Yay, Collins Lab used to be my favorite series on make.

[@DiegoH23]

Welcome back Collin!! Just the video I needed right now Thank you

[@dawson345]

Subscribed to Adafruit for Colin! YES YES YES!!!!

[@GameDragonsUnited]

So excited for Collin's Lab! I've been waiting for so long for this!

[@Oshbotscom]

Oh My God! This is the best thing since ATtinies with a USB bootloader! The epicness of Collins' Lab is here! \o/

[@automaticprojects]

Fantastic! So excited these are back. Like Rene, I watched and loved all the Make ones and probably spent far too much money as a result. They made me a fan of Jameco, which is still my favorite place to buy components that Adafruit or SparkFun don't carry. So sponsoring these videos certainly paid off for them in my case.

[@doodh_jalebi]

Awesome video... And welcome back collin.. Itx good to see u again.:-)

[@alokmtu]

Thanks for a very informative post! Nice surprise there with lady Ada popping in : )

[@john-paulhopman318]

Short and extremely useful. Thanks.

[@syntaxvrc]

I'm so glad to see Collin back, is this a new home? Hello from a MAKE fan!

[@ChristopherHale]

Yay Collin's Lab is back!

[@rwoodfolk]

Glad to see Collin back :-) Collin Cunningham FTW

[@3ds12Game]

Collin, is it really you?! YES. i missed your vids. i found you! i am glad that you still make video´s! I thought that your last video at the Make channel was your last. What a luck!

[@m3talpillow725]

That tie is awesome!

[@jhhn369]

Hooray! More Collin!

[@Neolith100]

YAY! Collin I've missed you so much!

[@Techmatt167Official]

Collins back!

[@MarkWarbington]

Yeah! Collin is back!

[@shiftclick]

Thanks to the both of You. I really liked all content, but loved " you don't have to go home.. but you can't provide current here"

[@AesculapiusPiranha]

Collin: *How to use multimeter.* Ada: I'M POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE TO HOLD THE MULTIMETER UP TO MY EAR AND SELL YOU TWEEZERS!

[@imho2278]

Scary, mildly.

[@robivescom]

Collin's back! Yay!

[@FrancoisvanderMerwe]

Brilliant channel! Just what I was looking for!

[@joris10000]

5:30 What LED is that?

[@greypoet2]

Thanks Collin. Glad to see you're back. Your front too!

[@Desmaad]

I loved Collin's Lab when it was on Make's channel, now it's come back, woot!

[@donb3557]

Loved this presentation, slightly geeky but very cool, certainly kept my interest and it was delivered in a way that keeps a person interested. Many Thanks, viewed, liked and subscribed.

[@evmcg]

You can also test continuity by setting the multimeter to the lowest ohm setting (best is around 100-200 ohms). If it shows your multimeter's error code, it is not connected. If a resistance pops up, you know it is connected.

[@MrIwifi]

Collin is the man thank you for the break down !!!!

[@msjaxp]

He is back I like this man :)

[@Weimer_Entertainment]

Collin is a great processor on the Adafruit board!

[@johndoe-fd7rd]

Great video! How do you test which fuse is blown if my multimeter is taken apart?

[@imho2278]

I replaced both, just in case.

[@AndrewStottisTheIndiWerWlf]

MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. Colin's Lab. Yes. Yes.

[@Tigrou7777]

What if you blow up the big brown wire near the fuses, as show at 6:22 ?

[@angeloma000]

Replace it...

[@johnisaaccalderon5066]

It most likely wouldn't blow up. It's a current shunt, used to measure current, can handle huge amounts of current. It's also obvious the fuses will blow first before the shunt does.

[@johnisaaccalderon5066]

+Angelo You cannot replace the "wire". It's a current shunt, specialised for the multimeter.

[@PrimalEdge]

COLLIN'S LAB!!!!!! Welcome back!!!

[@djkoehler7882]

You can still buy brand-new Simpson 260 meters as well as the higher accuracy 270 model. I own a 260 made in the 60's as well as one made in the 90's. Digital meters are great for quickly checking a voltage or measuring resistance, but if you need to tune something for peak or dip value, nothing beats an analog meter. Also, analog meters can measure voltage or current without needing batteries, so they work great as monitoring meters for long-term use. Anyone who works with electronics should own at least one of each, digital and analog.

[@thrjygdcmnbfdzfsa]

Yay Colin is back

[@MarioCrispino]

Fabulous stuff guys!

[@blammers]

You guys are my heroes.

[@Aelindgard]

Complete with the electro music. Sweet!

[@jouneymanwizard]

Lusting a little for LadyAda's analog meter.

[@DrEnginerd1]

Can you tell me where you got your tie?

[@NoorquackerInd]

You can also measure current by measuring resistance then dividing maximum voltage by resistance.

[@imho2278]

Or, r is voltage divided by current.

[@ok_engineer]

Collin... I've missed you old friend... I've missed you

[@charstringetje]

@6:40 "Evolved to be [...] portable" That old, chunky analogue one had a carrying handle for portability...

[@kirknelson156]

I used to calibrate the Simpson 260's when I was in the Navy. good meters :)

[@mechwarreir2]

Collin is back! :)

[@lanceseidman]

Wish I had you guys years ago.

[@UnderLoK]

Great series thanks!

[@AssemblerGuy]

On my homemade multimeter I fitted an external fuse holder, just to make it less fun for Murphy and his pesky law to have me blow the fuse. It still has the original fuse I put in there...

[@krishna34674]

WOOOOOO YES its Collin !!!!

[@upnicmars]

Collin is THE BEST!!!!!

[@АндрийФицай-ъ8б]

*%$$3@ьб😮😉

[@implodinghippo]

Very very informative, thank you.

[@mrjohhhnnnyyy5797]

Yeah!! New episode!

[@naderhumood]

V good job 😊 I like it thanks Cullen

[@fortunedecoder9344]

Awesome. This is how you teach

[@twn5858]

If your multimeter doesn't have a continuity test (which my doesn't because I bought mine at harbor freight for $5) then just put it on the lowest resistance test. If it picks up any resistance at all you obviously have continuity.

[@ProcessedDigitally]

I learned so much here !

[@ocean2ninechrist921]

Great teacher,

[@gullivergimeno7586]

what is a good multimeter

[@cosmosliger]

...and God said: "Let there be... wait.. one sec, BRB gotta grab my multimeter..." ... "Let there be light." And there was light.

[@MattJ-UK]

You can't measure a resistor in circuit!

[@mrkiky]

he just did! dun dun duuuun!!

[@MattJ-UK]

Living dangerously!!!

[@stingerbold9327]

TechMad UK you are right

[@manasr1099]

TrollingAround it’s the same thing doofus

[@anthonyvolkman2338]

I would love to have some smart tweezers for my smt components on my sstc driver.

[@loganworthington6376]

Hurry and upload to this playlist again

[@DavideNastri]

I love this. AAARGH I LOOOOVEEEE THISSSSSSSS.

[@Brian-uq6jm]

My dad has pretty much that exact analog multimeter! He used to be an electrician. Now I know what it is lol!

[@sumindersingh7547]

What if if power is in during testing continuity!??

[@imho2278]

Well turn it off. How to fry your meter, or you. Zap!

[@morockman6706]

That's a nice little multimeter.

[@wiinick90]

Love this guy.

[@ntgeralt]

thanks for your awesome video

[@landlockedviking]

Great vid. He should have had a spot in the matrix

[@imho2278]

As a good guy, though....

[@imho2278]

The back of the meter lists the type of fuses you need, and you lever them out by lifting up one end with a screwdriver. Other youtube vids will tell you this.

[@fredison1991]

THIS GUY IS hilarious.. AWESOME VIDEOS!!
