Today I watched Most Important Skills for Electrical Engineering.
Stuff I need to learn includes:
He listed some important soft skills which included:

In this video I mod a pair of resistor boxes by installing banana plug terminals in place of the lug terminals they came with and then I give a quick demo of them.
In the demo we connect them in both series and parallel and then measure their resistance with my Fluke multimeter.
I mention this video from Dave Jones on the EEVblog: EEVblog #1020 – Is A $7 LCR / Component Tester Any Good? which is where I found out about the RS-201W resistor box which he has. I searched on eBay for RS-201W but what I found for over US$1,000 (inc shipping) was way too expensive: IET Labs RS-201W Wide Range Precision Resistance Substituter.

I watched this great video: Faulty Peak DCA55 Component Tester – I was shocked! | Can I Fix It? They had an excellent result from Peak Electronic Design Limited when they sought support for the DCA55.
One day, when I am rich, I plan to get the full set of measurement devices manufactured by Peak Electronics.
Today I heard about the Jumperless V5 over on Hackaday: Jumperless Breadboard V5 Readies For Launch. Looking forward to hearing more about that when it launches in a few days…
I want to learn more about sigrok and OpenTechLab seems like a good place to start…
I found this old series of videos from OpenTechLab which starts here: [001] Sigrok and Logic Analyzers.
There is more about sigrok over here:
In Build – gusmanb’s 24 Channel 100MHz Logic Analyser from Happy Little Diodes I learned about this Logic Analyzer project. I would like to try building one of these for myself one day too.

In this video I take a look at how to use all of the features of my new Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter.
This is the inaugural demo video. We now do an ‘unboxing’ and a ‘demo’ separately. In the demo videos we try to take a close look at each feature of a product. Whereas with the unboxing we just make a record of the unboxing experience and take a cursory look at a few features.
If you’re interested in the Fluke 17B+ then in addition to watching this demonstration video you might also like to see the unboxing: Unboxing #14: Unboxing of Fluke 17B+ Multimeter | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay.
The slides for this video are here: https://www.jj5.net/fluke-17b-plus/
In the video we cover:
We were lead astray by the slide for the current test which indicates the wrong terminal for the current measurement! I got these slides from Fluke in the 15B/17B/18B | Quick reference guide on the Manuals+resources tab on their documentation for the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter. So it is pretty disappointing that the official Fluke documentation led me astray like that! But we figured it out in the end so all is well that ends well.
Errata: at around the 24 minute mark I try to introduce a load across my 9 V AC input voltage but I don’t correctly wire it in. So when I think I’m testing with a load attached there is in fact no load attached.
