Yeah, just after I recorded the last mailbag a pile of stuff came all in one day.

checking-out-an-old-radio-shack
I found this 1990s vintage Radio Shack multimeter in a storage cabinet at work and thought it was interesting enough to take a look at.
This one has a special trick that isn't very common in consumer level meters - it has a serial port for data logging.
Let's see if I can make it do anything interesting.
Here's some relevant links (as mentioned in the video)

Today, I'm chilling in the basement and exploring a couple of old analog multi-meters that I have acquired over the years.
And along the way, there's a small repair to one of them.

TINKE
tinkering-with-ads1115-analog-digital
I always like to spend a bit of time tinkering with new modules, just to see what uses I might be able to find for them.
This neat little analog to digital converter seems like it will come in handy for several future projects.

DIY W
diy-weather-station-kit-tinkering-and
back in Mailbag Monday 112 I received this weather station kit from Banggood.
It's got an ESP8266 board and a handful of sensors, but unfortunately it didn't come with any software, so I spend far too long coming up with the minimum viable code to run it.
So, after all that time, let's actually take a look at the thing.
