Hi Ken,

You won't need the multimeter and I took into account you probably don't
have one. You had mentioned that you had bought the nichrome wire from
Jaycar and earlier in the day I had checked online and saw they only sold one
type which has a resistance of 13.77 ohms per meter, so we just need to know
the two lengths.

Just stick with your 1A power supply for now, but we need to calculate
the total current draw first, hence the need to measure the lengths.

Best Regards

Gary
