Multimeter recommendation?
-
Aneng an8009 or similar is still a really good buy, 9999 counts is not something you get usually from cheap meters

I bought one and I don't suggest to buy it for MySensors projects.
Plugs for mA and uA are separated, and it makes it a pain to measure current consumption in battery powered nodes, you have to unplug/replug the wire to change scale between the 2 modes. When node is sleeping and you are in mA modes you don't see anything. When you are in uA and node is waking up it doesn't have enough current going through the multimeter and it resets. -
It is a common issue I see in these small cheap meters. There is always the openhardware current meter for what you are suggesting

Sure but there are other multimeters with a common plug between mA and uA so you can just change range on the selector and you don't have to cut the power to your node during that switch.
