      I'd suggest you begin by acquiring the rudimentary

      test tools. Multimeter and power supply. 


	


This is for the true, die-hard, born'n'bread cheapskates, like myself.



Harbor Freight has multimeters for $3 nearly all the time.  That's cheap 

enough that I don't have to waste time wondering where I put my meter.  

I just sprinkle the shop with a liberal supply.



A 12V power supply can be had for nothing by grabbing the next ATX 

computer you see someone throwing out.  Scavenge the power supply.  It 

will give you a steady 12V if you connect the GREEN wire to one of the 

BLACK wires.  It won't turn on otherwise.  It also has a range of other 

voltages, usually printed on the side of the power supply.  I have one 

installed placed where my battery will go, allowing me to test things as 

they're installed.  It's only good for a few amps, but the price is right.
