Dirt cheap inductance meter

[Beavinator]

I just thought I would pass on a link to this dirt cheap inductance meter I just bought on ebay. It ended up costing me 6 bucks plus 11 shipping! It is useful for testing the windings on hubmotors and many other things. I cant believe that they can sell them this cheap!!

Doc it only reads to 20 mH. The inductance meters i got read to .1uH and they we dirt cheep i will post later the link. The low range is important for all our motors are <~300 uH

Huh well I hope that its good for something since I already ordered it. :lol:

I ordered this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/290586388066
and this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-L-C-F-Inductance-Capacitance-High-precision-meter-/290613570247?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a9eb2ac7
I made sure they read down to 1uH or lower. even if they are out by 5% it doesnt matter to me because I just needed to prove that colossus was low inductance and it mesures 8uH so if it was even out 10% that meens its 7-9uH which is all I need to know because thats to low for any controller I know of to run it!

Thanks Arlo. I guess Ill order one of those as well.
