There's also this: https://store.digilentinc.com/dmm-shield-7-function-digital-... from Digilent. Haven't tried it, but it looks interesting.
That is pretty cool, it uses the HY3131 chip (http://www.hycontek.com/wp-content/uploads/DS-HY3131_EN.pdf) and is another example of an entity that has the resources to design a robust analog front end just using one in a chip.
FWIW I ordered one to see if I can get it working on one of my many ST Micro Nucleo boards.
FWIW, the Ciarcia article is in the December 77 issue of BYTE magazine and can be read here: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1977-12/page/n77
Back in the way back times Steve Ciarcia wrote an article on doing this with a BASIC program talking to a board with a DMM chip called "Try an 8 channel DVM Cocktail." It used the MC14433 which Microchip manufactured as the TC14433 (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/21394d.pdf)
