Modding my oled but I'm not getting any reading on my dat0 point. I've tried a couple of different adapters. (I have another style on the way)

Currently I'm wondering if my multimeter is even capable of reading such low values. Is there a specific multimeter I should be using? I'm currently using a klein tools mm200 model

A multimeter like this should have no problems with measuring a resistance of 1~2 ohms.
The easiest test would be to take a known resistor and see if the meter measures about the same value.
If the reading is not correct, it might be the cables or the meter itself.

The one you have should work, even a $10 multimeter from home depot gets the job done.

Also make sure you are measuring it correctly, use diode mode, black on ground, red on DAT0 adapter. If you get no reading check another point like CMD/CLK, you should get 0.6-0.8V. RST point is a bit tricky, some multimeter may not have a reading and show OL, or 2-3V.

    An underrated opinion: While Bluesky as a platform is better than Twitter, Bluesky's userbase won't be better than Twitter as people are saying because everyone from the non-bootleg site are moving to the bootleg one expecting for themselves to change with their attitude, but that never works like that.
  • DragonMals @ DragonMals:
    I will say though: Bluesky as a micro-blogging site? Needs a bit more oomph and I would officially like it better than Twiter. Can't even post gifs on that site, like what the fuck?
