The discussion focuses on the concept of a low-cost milli-ohm meter for measuring very small resistances, particularly under 1 ohm. It highlights the importance of battery technology and calibration for accurate measurements. Users share insights on plotting measured versus nominal resistance values and the relationship between resistance and the length of steel. The conversation emphasizes practical applications and the effectiveness of this DIY approach. Overall, the thread serves as a resource for those interested in affordable solutions for precise resistance measurement.
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord:
The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
