    Yes, *PLEASE* more vids like this.. more of like how components work, when testing & ideally *how* to test em.. and the kind-of expected values.. *AND* what shouldn't happen when testing.. like in diode mode, *in-circuit* .. when it SHOULDN'T beep, different pins.. etc.. so we can apply this knowledge to repairing.. i'm a beginner trying to learn to repair stuff.. *AND* explain more about in-circuit as well as out-of circuit values & beeps... etc.. and Thank You for the vids, keep up the good work.. sorry to hear about ur Dad... -- oh & when you write out the diagrams can you put the leads *on* the paper and show *what* goes where for whichever component.. thanks..

      Prietene electronica este o meserie care se invata mai intii pe hirtie Mult, mult studiu si mai cu seama in particular Astazi aveti alte facilitati nu ca mine in anii de inceput 1970 Gasiti pe internet orce va intereseaza Totul depinde cum va rationalizati studiu Incepeti cu cunostinte generale despre electricitate invata ce e tensiunia apoi curentul tipul (alternativ, continu....) cum este produs etc invatati marimile si unitatile de masura folosite in electricitate si electronica (tensiunea in V curentul in A puterea in w, rezistenta in ohmi etc apoi simbolurile din schemele electronice , componentele si rolul lor in circuit identificare terminalelor etc) Toti vor sa REPARE Ce? Daca tu nu ai habar de ce tii in mina Ce sa repari? Invata tot ce consideri necesar si atunci cind privesti cite un videoclip din asta incepi sa intelegi aproape din ochi despre ce e vorba in mare dupa care treci la studiu pe schema si aplici metodologia depanarii care este si ea impartita si subimpartita in diferite etaje (etaj de alimantare cu componentele lui Trf, dioda s-au punte redresoare elect rolitice de filtraj si rezistori limitatori de curenti circuit de stabilizare si in unele cazuri cu circ de protecte la suprasarcini etc toate acestea genereaza U si A necesar circuitelor de lucru Circuitele de lucru cu dif etaje cu comanda externa manuala, radio etc interna data de ascilatoare temporizatoare traductoare etc E nosol e mult de invatat si mai cu seama de memorat extrem de multe date Nu e chiar jucarie, iau letconu si lipesc si deslipesc la plezneala nu merge daca vrei sa faci treaba invata macar ce am spus eu ca mai departe te c vei dumiri singur si vei invata daca iti place

    I tried testing an led but my multimeter can't measure anything in diod mode. I can measure normal diode thought.
    Is it only some multimeters that can measure LEDs and make them light up?

      That shouldn't happen, at least not if you have your meter in volts mode. Which pin are you measuring? The gate?

    Can you help please? I've got two multimeters , one small fluke and a big bench multimeter I bought. When I do diode readings , they're different on both multimeters. When I do the reading on the bench multimeter it's different to the readings I get off the fluke multimeter by a lot . Does that mean one of my multimeters is broken? Thanks

    • @UltraUltaderdritte
      @UltraUltaderdritte Рік тому +1

      No necessarily, they may simply use different constant currents in diode mode. As the junction voltage depends on the current you will get different voltage readings. Just measure the current in diode mode with the other meter in current mode and you will see how much they differ.

    • @TheEmbeddedHobbyist
      @TheEmbeddedHobbyist Рік тому +1

      It depends on by how much they differ, if its more than a few percent then yes one is duf. A normal diode will read about .6 - .7V so the meter that reads close to that should be the good one.

    • @TheEmbeddedHobbyist
      @TheEmbeddedHobbyist Рік тому +1

      The collector is normally a lower value as the collector is a larger junction on the silicon. This helps in the collection of electrons..

    • @LearnElectronicsRepair
      @LearnElectronicsRepair  Рік тому

      @@UltraUltaderdritte Yes exactly that. In this video I showed that the Aneng could light blue and white LEDs and give a voltage reading, whereas the Fluke gives no voltage reading but still lights the LED. Different brands of multimeter will output different voltages and different constant currents in diode mode. This does not mean either of them are faulty, and there is no international standard that I know of which a multimeter should adhere to in this respect.
