Hacking a cheap LED voltmeter (Digital Me Blog)
I’m planning to build a EEVblog-ish constant dummy load for battery and power supply testing. Dave in his build used a LCD voltmeter for the display. In the senseless pursuit of difference, I tried other display solutions including character LCD, graphics LCD, OLED, TFT, AMOLED, IPS, which resulted in several previous blogs but nothing ends up to be satisfactory. Along with the complexity grows exponentially from one solution to another, I slowly start to feel the importance of KISS concept, keep it simple stupid. All I need is just a number display, nothing fancy, nothing pricey, nothing takes my attention away from the analog circuitry. I decided to go back to the basic 7-segment LED display. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”, how elegant it is!
I ordered several LED voltmeters from a taobao seller. It costs RMB16 each, about US$2.6 excluding shipping. The original design was for battery measurement on scooters. The advertised accuracy is 0.2%, which turns on my bullshit detector immediately. So the first thing I did after receiving it, was “don’t turn it on, tear it apart”. The manufacture did not scratch off the markings so the schematic can be easily traced out.
