This is nice, can you now make video how to disign simple PCB and submit it to OSH or JLCpcb for manufacturing?
I want to make simple e-switch board on 1mm pcb, just one button and 2 soldering points for wires!

Thanks. I really wouldn’t know how. When ever I need something like that done I just pay one of the smart guys here at BLF to do it for me LOL!! With the board being that simple you might even be able to get some one here to just volunteer to make the design for you by posting a thread :slight_smile:

Easyeda is a free program to make pcbs and you can save the files and upload them to oshpark

Also…

‘If I use high mode whilst on 200mA range the meter displays overload’
