Tutorial one: Get a micro controller

Ok, Before anyone wants to do anything on building a microchip, We have to get our components. The most important component in the ENTIRE microchip is a multi-meter. It is necessary to have one so if any of your components or accessory's get faulty, you can detect it.

Stuff you should look for in multimeters:
1. It should be digital if you want accurate readings.
2. It should have at least two probes, or you can also get them seperately.
3. It should have a stand, so it is easier to view the information when testing components.
4. It should have a DCV, ACV, DCA, ACA, Resistance, Capacitance and Frequency (Dont worry if you have never seen them before. I'll explain later.)


recommend you go to http://www.fluke.com/fluke/sgen/products/categorydmm?gclid=CJ-52Pm1kagCFUl76wod8F0KNg or http://www.multimeterwarehouse.com/MS8229f.htm They fit all the criteria above and the second one is the most user friendly multimeter available. If not, Just look for any which fits the criteria above.
