Diy - Digital Volt Meter

[donCityZ]

ya.. khguan.. care to share with us where u get it..? im interested..

skywalker.. yea la.. actually purpose of voltmeter is really for
spice up the dashboard only. what is information can get from there?
0 or 12V or 14V only right? When battery kong, u wouldn't need the
meter to know right? the car just difficult/cant start right? so really
voltmeter is for decoration mainly. and nothing wrong to decorate
ur dashboard too right? since a aftermarket one is quite expensive...
(not worth buying just for decorative purpose maa...)
thats the reason we want to DIY it..

unless u put a/f ratio meter, then that is for information.. useful one too.

hi alll
sorry out of topic a bit
i also DIY one voltmeter for myself

but it is actually not digital.
it is analog.
its quite cheap. i buy this panel meter for RM16
than i add in LED inside
(LED i got free... take from old computer casing)
add in some cable.. and walla... i got one voltmeter..
total 3 wire comes out... +ve for light, +ve for volt reading, and ground

i know a bit ugly la...
many fren say is ugly
but i happy la.. i can view my volt...
and the meter can be calibrate also.. next time when it not accurate, can open up and turn the screw inside.
