Hey Dacflyer, Have you looked at these? https://www.allelectronics.com/mas_assets/cache/image/5/7/2/2/22306.Jpg https://www.allelectronics.com/item/bt-3/battery-level-meter/1.htm I have, but they are not programmable.. they just have some preset stuff, and wouldn't be accurate enough for my use.

Most likely stay on all the time...

took a while yes... If these sell well later on, I might order others..
just waiting for them to arrive now..

when you say +/- 140V DC is that -70-0-+70, or somewhere about 140v ?
what is this being used on.

I can usually manage my way thru on these things, But i need help on this one.. Is it possible to make a SOC volt meter for 24v use. I know the chip is 15v max, but i figure with a regulator and isolated input it can be possible. I'm looking I think for a 3volt swing ? my low volts would show 0% SOC...

rant on, I know what you mean..
The thing was easy to fix,, wouldn't mind to show others..
As a matter of fact, I have the cameras already spoken for, Buddy offered me 100$ ea..

the led lights and the driver seem to fail not long after the warranty fails...

Ehhh.. Not worth it.. maybe offer a repair service for those..lol

I was given a pair of RING flood light cameras the other day as well, The Flood lights had failed, I thought that the lights were integral of the camera, But looking closer, i saw that the led driver is separate from the camera..and the lights were actually removable from the fixture.. So i removed ...

Had a friend that was having phantom door bell issues. His electronic doorbell was randomly ringing, but the RING doorbell wasn't giving any notifications or detecting things.. I remember from other kinds of doorbell cameras, there was always a dummy load resistor to use with electronic doorbells. R...

ya, I have, but it's not feasible for anything small.. I think I might have found one.. Having to sweet talk the lady in china to send me a few samples.. this is one of the displays like Adafruit 1.2" displays. But in blue.. I'll have to order the Adafruit backpack board.. No biggie.. https://w...

Thought about using single 7-seg. and then driving them with the ol TPIC6B596 driver board. Have used these in several clocks before just different size digits. A bit more work, But doable.
Can't believe there isn't more variety out there for clock displays.

I wish there was something to mute commercials all together. These political ad's are making me bonkers !

Adafruit used to sell their 1.2" led backpack displays in 4 colors, but now only red or yellow is available. I think i got one of the last green ones.. I have a friend that wants me to build her a GPS clock like the ones i made. But i am unable to find any displays ready to use, Such as the I2c...

I wish they would combine Q&A and the 1 other section from the magazine into the forum here.. Things might pick up some.
I remember i'd have to jump thru hoops just to reply to a Q&A question from the magazine. It wasn't easy to do.
