    ??What is it?
    Is it very similar to a flux capacitor?

  • JetBombat on 17/07/2013 - 20:50

    So, for those who does not have any slightest idea is this:
    - edible
    - wearable
    - showing-offable

    • luka on 17/07/2013 - 21:00

      no
      no
      not really unless you like LCD screens with cables sticking out of them

      Duh…don't you guys know what it is?

      It's a meter… that measures inductance….and capacitance…. with high precision.

      It also comes with a black button. Don't forget to press it.

        Well I'm sold, with a pitch like that I'm tempted to buy 2!

    Poor REP, this kind of stuff isn't really in demand here. But your shop was interesting looking through. I wish I had time to play with microcontrollers like the AVR here, and the Ardiuno stuff.

      Thanks for your comments and suggestion. And more interesting items will be uploaded here later.:)

        If you do that you might want to combine many items in one post or people would get tired of seeing one deal per post.

      Sorry I dont agree with you greenpossum regarding this post.
      Sure it is a "go to my site and have a browse" type post and i did and found some great items.

      However there are many other posts here on ozbargain that are totally not worthy of posting.

      I am sure there are may electronic hobbiests on here that appreciate these now and again.

      I get sick of seeing "bargain DSE, OW posts" when we waste our time with "FFS nil stock again" continually….

  • cyssero on 18/07/2013 - 00:08

    Its obviously a hobbyist/enthusiast item and nothing wrong with that, but reo, can you give any indication why this is a bargain?

    • Russ on 18/07/2013 - 01:15

      While many multimeters can measure capacitance, devices that can measure inductance are somewhat rare. The only devices I know of that can measure inductance are:
      - an LCR meter (looks like a multimeter), usually $100 or higher
      - "smart tweezers", which are usually even more expensive
      - "Peak" brand component testers, starting at about $150

      So $25 is quite a bargain, even if the delivery wasn't free!

    Interesting but you would probably have to had studied electronics or university level physics to understand what this measures.

    Will take a look at your store though!

  • nfr on 18/07/2013 - 01:01

    Can I use this to test motherboard capacitors?

    • Russ on 18/07/2013 - 01:28
      +5

      No. To test motherboard capacitors, you really want to measure the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the capacitors, which this won't do. You also want to know the ESR at high frequencies (100kHz or higher), and many ESR testers only test at low frequencies.

      This device would only let you test if the capacitors had totally failed, but usually capacitors that have totally failed are quite easy to spot by visual inspection. Also, you'd have to desolder the caps from the motherboard first. If you're going to that much trouble, you may as well replace them anyway, no point in measuring them.

      Desoldering capacitors from motherboards without damaging the capacitors and/or the motherboard is quite difficult, unless you have a soldering iron with a very high heat capacity. You can use a smaller iron cranked up to a high temperature, but your chances of delaminating the board or ripping the pads off the board rise dramatically. Just clearing the solder out of the holes can be quite challenging!

        Thanks, very enlightening.

    Good looking website rep! I already have one of these but may order some other items from you at a later date. Website bookmarked.

    Interesting stuff !

  • oz-dxer on 18/07/2013 - 10:05

    This is good value about 25%off "normal" pricing from various vendors.
    ie: http://dx.com/p/lc100-a-2-5-lcd-digital-high-precision-induc…

    I appreciate the post OP, nice website too with plenty of gadgets for the electronics hobbiest/professional there and some prices extremely cheap.
