Post by: ckpopup on Jul 25, 2009, 12:12 AM
I modded my original mod LED meters with LCD meters and added an outside thermometer....

Turned out OK....

Original mod to the standard converter etc...

Ckpopup,

Nice mod and I support monitoring AC voltage in as this can cause problems.  

Those displays look large... So are you able to read the numbers while standing up?  I tried reading a AC voltage monitor that was plugged into the outlets but I would have to get on my knees to read it.  So I ended up  building a stand for the monitor (http://he-ruide.smugmug.com/gallery/8918256_DEXUQ#592201157_HAGqe).

Yes, the meters are easy to read standing up.... The thermometer is a little rough to read though...but I just added it to take up the empty spot....

I guess I am a little bored...this summertime heat needs to go down here in Texas!!!!!!
