The Milliohm Meter board V1.41 is featured in Scullcom’s Milliohm Meter Udpdate YouTube video.
I had already started on the version 1.5 board update a week earlier and was about to send the prototype files out to OSH Park for manufacturing, when I noticed a new Scullcom video thru my YouTube subscription notice. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was an update to the original Milliohm Meter and it was featuring the V1.41 board that I had designed. Louis had made some similar updates to components, so I quickly updated the V1.5 board file to match before sending it off.
I built this milliohm meter several months ago which is based on a project by Scullcom Hobby Electronics and presented on YouTube.
Louis at Scullcom Hobby Electronics has a new video updating the milliohm meter, and features the board I produced in this post.

NEW Version 1.5 board available at OSH Park requires additional 0.01 uF ceramic capacitor, 2 pin header, and 250 mA PTC fuse.
NEW Updated project post with Milliohm Meter version 1.5 board.
It uses a 4 wire kelvin measurement system that supplies a precise 100 mA current to the device under test using one pair of leads, and then measures the voltage drop across the device under test using a second pair of leads.
As designed it can be used to measure low resistances of under 2 ohms (Ω). Some of the design changes I made to fit my needs were:
