Multimeter
Nice PickDevelopers should learn to use a multimeter when working with hardware, embedded systems, IoT devices, or any electronics projects to verify circuit functionality, debug issues like short circuits or open connections, and ensure safety by checking voltage levels
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for prototyping, repairing hardware, and validating sensor or component performance in real-world applications
- +Related to: electronics, circuit-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Power Supply
Developers should understand power supplies when building, maintaining, or troubleshooting hardware systems, such as desktop computers, servers, or embedded devices, to ensure compatibility, efficiency, and safety
Pros
- +Knowledge is crucial for tasks like selecting appropriate wattage for high-performance GPUs in gaming or AI workstations, or ensuring uninterrupted power in data centers to prevent data loss
- +Related to: hardware-troubleshooting, computer-assembly
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Multimeter if: You want it is particularly useful for prototyping, repairing hardware, and validating sensor or component performance in real-world applications and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Power Supply if: You prioritize knowledge is crucial for tasks like selecting appropriate wattage for high-performance gpus in gaming or ai workstations, or ensuring uninterrupted power in data centers to prevent data loss over what Multimeter offers.
