Default ESR meter.

Dave,

Did you get any instructions with yours?

Seems to basically work but I've noticed that repeated testing of a
capacitor seems to give either
esr = 0
esr = 0?
esr = 0.4
Are certain pins better for certain tests/components?

It did not seem to identify the pins on a N channel J fet (2n3189)
correctly. I could fit it flat towards display and flat away from the
display and the pin out displayed was the same.
Seems to draw 1uA when off which is pretty good too.
Just got to make/find a box for it.
