were getting away from gearbox's so Ill put the pics up on another thread when all the stuff arrives
We were talking digital led instruments, which have no place on a good classical A I know, but my RGF is poser and trashy with it - soooo
the led voltmeter and ammeter arrived today - small but very bright blue displays , the volt meter works fine if at variance with my multi meter by a tenth or so.
The ammeter I'm thinking needs a bit of investigation, in the wiring department, it has two pairs of wires (one red one black) one pair powers the display, the other pair to somehow measure the load, so far testing them on a bulb I can get the bulb to light and the ammeter display will resister 99.7, not sure what this means but pretty sure it's not amps.
I think I might need to wire in a "shunt" oh yes, now despite starting my working life as an electrician then a spell in a tv repair shop, (all a long time ago and pre transistorology) when talking about a "shunt" I am clueless, maybe a resistor of sorts.
So if any of your good selves can show me how I wire this thing in I would be mightily grateful, OTOH if you would like to point out that the present ammeter works just fine that's OK as well, I'm also thinking along those lines but damned if I'm doing to be beat by 1 inch chunk of plastic and a Bejing techo or two
Will put up pics when I'm sure there not bits of the Doctors sonic screwdriver
