Hello hello everyone.
I was at Fry's electronics just now and passed some analog panel meters and remembered a project that required one. i went with the 500mA meter cuz it looked familiar and i thought it was the one i needed... must have been a different project cuz looking it up just now, and turns out i need a .5mA meter.
now i'm looking in my text on how to put a shunt across the meter to measure quantities higher than your meter can read but how would i do this so that when a full scale deflection on my 500mA meter would actually be 500uA???
i cannot seem to figure this out.. thanks for your time everyone.
