It’s weekend… what else would you build..
I wanted to have the ability to know how my battery and charging system is doing so I decided to have a voltmeter..
now there is not a lot of possibilities to install one unless you exchange it for something else.. BUT there is a rocker switch in the bottom of the panel that has no function or is Paying rent for being there… Eviction is the consequence
and here it goes
i found a LED voltmeter on Amazon 
And it showed up yesterday so I tore apart and got the LED part out and it seems to fit with inside the frame of the broken light switch I have! I cut the light switch apart, so I have the frame and can insert the LED from the backside
LED is a little bit on the small side, but it works, I do need to make a front for it so I looked for some plastic I can cut for size
Checking the display and hang a 9 V battery on it
brutally bright! That is not going to work, so I decided to tint the clear plastic for the front by spraying some black paint over it… Test first On some scrap
Yes, that works.
Painted the real front and test
and turned off
Glued together and will be installed Monday
One hour of playing before the children wake up… Lol
buying something is good
making something - priceless!
