OK, fine. I'm sure I should learn how to do this anyway...
I just got a meter from radio shack. It was like 12 bucks.
It's got a red pin and a black pin and a dial that I can set voltages and stuff.
Now what? Presumably I set the dial to something and touch the pins somewhere. I'm a little freaked out by interacting with electricity so detailed steps would be great
