I get a lot of questions. Most I answer privately, but occasionally one is so good that I make a video about it. Today, I'm answering Chris Riley's question about why his ESC isn't working. He's used his multimeter to test it out, which isn't actually as silly an idea as it might sound.

My favorite "cheap and cheerful" multimeter.

Multimeter priced about the same as the "cheap and cheerful", but more precision and more features. Yet somehow I always reach for the other one unless I really need this one.
