Summary

  • Hackster and Hackaday report that a user called Agatha sent in a submission for a stunning DIY multimeter, which she constructed and designed as a gift for her mother.
  • Going by the name of the Mohmmeter, the device is housed in a beautiful wooden enclosure, featuring joinery reminiscent of older test equipment.
  • Inside, it uses a Raspberry Pi Pico to manage the device, with two main modes and over-voltage and reverse polarity protection also featured.
  • The project sits at a crossroads between heartfelt craftsmanship and technical know-how, and was clearly a labor of love for the builder.
  • A link is provided for anybody looking to attempt a similar project, with a steampunk aesthetic and an emphasis on old-school meter construction.
