What does 1. reading mean when check resistance

"Out of range" - the resistance is greater than 200

Thanks.

Get yourself an assortment of resistors, then after some time measuring known values you will have a good understanding of resistance measurement with your meter.

Sounds good.

And you'll get a better understanding of what tolerance means, especially with two resistors of "equal" value. If you have more than one meter you can try the same measurement with both and get a better appreciation of what accuracy means.

I am also getting a breadboard with jumper wires.

And an 8 Pin DIP IC PCB Board Sockets Adapter so I don't fry my chip.

Sounds like your just getting into electronics. Good for you. Don't be afraid to ask anything here, even if someone flames you. Keep playing, just don't dont't get electrocuted, though I got shocked many times as a kid, back then there was tubes and lotsa volts!

Thanks.

I have a very healthy respect for electricity especially AC.

I remember my father going to a store to use the machine to test tubes and then buy new ones.

I think it was for our TV.

Oh, those were the good old days! Old timers say: Real radios glow in the dark.
