From the project

Protek 506 Multimeter Serial to Bluetooth Interface For PC

While i was browsing internet flea markets, stumbled upon a PROTEK 506 Multimeter which was reasonable price, purchased and repaired it. While repairing and using it i decided to design a wireless (bluetooh) interface for onboard RS232 port. It belongs to 90's according to IC's on DMM mainboard but it is still a good multimeter with unique diode function and PC connection. As you can see my multimeter has had a very tough life before...
