 Breadboard and jumper wires
 9V battery

Software Requirements

Arduino IDE

Code
```cpp
const int multimeterPin = A0; // Analog input pin for multimeter

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int voltageReading = analogRead(multimeterPin);
  float voltage = voltageReading  (5.0 / 1023.0);
  Serial.print("Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(voltage);
  Serial.println(" V");
  delay(1000);
}
```
### Example 2: Raspberry Pi based Current Measurement with Python

In this example, we will use the HTC DM-98 to measure the current flowing through a circuit connected to a Raspberry Pi.

Hardware Requirements

HTC DM-98 Digital Multimeter
 Raspberry Pi (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4)
 Breadboard and jumper wires
 5V power source (e.g., USB cable)

Software Requirements

Python 3.x
 RPi.GPIO library

Code
```python
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set up multimeter pin as an input
multimeter_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(multimeter_pin, GPIO.IN)

while True:
    # Read the current measurement from the multimeter
    current_reading = GPIO.input(multimeter_pin)
    current_mA = current_reading  (5.0 / 1023.0)  1000
    print("Current: {:.2f} mA".format(current_mA))
    time.sleep(1)
```
### Example 3: Internet of Things (IoT) Application with ESP32 and Wi-Fi

In this example, we will use the HTC DM-98 to measure the resistance of a sensor connected to an ESP32 board, and send the data to a cloud-based IoT platform using Wi-Fi.

Hardware Requirements

HTC DM-98 Digital Multimeter
 ESP32 board (e.g., ESP32 DevKitC)
 Breadboard and jumper wires
 Wi-Fi router
 Sensor (e.g., photoresistor)

Software Requirements

ESP32 Arduino Core
 Wi-Fi library

Code
```cpp
#include <WiFi.h>

// Wi-Fi credentials
const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";
const char password = "your_wifi_password";

// IoT platform API endpoint
const char apiEndpoint = "https://your_iot_platform.com/api/data";

// HTC DM-98 pin connections
const int multimeterPin = 34; // Analog input pin for multimeter

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to Wi-Fi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to Wi-Fi");
}

void loop() {
  int resistanceReading = analogRead(multimeterPin);
  float resistance = resistanceReading  (5.0 / 1023.0);
  Serial.print("Resistance: ");
  Serial.print(resistance);
  Serial.println(" k");
  
  // Send data to IoT platform using HTTP POST request
  WiFiClient client;
  HTTPClient http;
  http.begin(client, apiEndpoint);
  http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
  String postData = "{""sensor_data"": {""resistance"": ";
  postData += String(resistance);
  postData += "}}";
  int httpResponseCode = http.POST(postData);
  http.end();
  
  delay(30000); // Send data every 30 seconds
}
```
These examples demonstrate the versatility of the HTC DM-98 Digital Multimeter in various IoT applications, from simple voltage measurements to IoT-based sensor monitoring.
