I have a brand new multimeter, but any time I set it to resistance mode (any setting) according to the user manual, it shows 1 in the leftmost digit, and the decimal point will move around based on which setting I chose (but the remaining digits will never set to 0.


I've connected the positive lead to the VΩmA jack and the negative to COM. The output does not change when I connect the leads to opposite ends of a resistor.


Am I doing it wrong, or is my meter defective?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
