| - | [* black] Insert wisdom here. |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] Choose the point where you want to measure the current. |
| + | [* black] You'll need to break the circuit at that point. This may mean snipping a wire or removing a connecting jumper wire. |
| + | [* black] Insert the multimeter in-line with the circuit by touching each probe to the broken ends of the circuit. |
| + | [* icon_note] The polarity of the probes ''somewhat'' matters. The multimeter will measure current flowing from the black probe through the multimeter and out the red probe. If you reverse the probes, it will show a negative value on the multimeter, but it won't damage the meter. |
| + | [* black] Confirm that the probes are touching what you want them to touch and nothing else. |
| + | [* black] Turn on the power to the circuit and make your measurement. |
