Just for the record, I thought about using this meter about 18 months ago, thought not quite in the configuration Joe uses, but discounted it as it was too expensive.
Hey why not add a switch and have the meter 500 AND 180. There, now I don't mind if you copy me, I couldn't care less. I've got nothing to prove when it comes to what I know about electronics.
Critterhunter said:Hey, just checked out that link to this LCD display. Thanks for posting that. Like you said, already has a calibration tool for the resistor values. Very nice.
I dug up an old thread in this forum where a guy was making a homemade VDI display that would also list text next to the ID # for what the target could be. The pictures don't exist anymore nor does a link to further information. I think he was going to sell it but looks like he never went anywhere with it. That got me thinking that maybe there are VDI displays out there already built in which you can assign text to specific voltage numbers (target ID's). Not sure if they exist because I haven't searched the web yet, but if they do it would be a nice ability to have. You could enter ID numbers for various coins and common trash for it to display and not have to carry around a chart. I'm going to look into this. If none exist it would be beyond my knowledge to build one. Maybe you could program a PIC chip to do something like this as they program fairly easy but I'm not sure. If I can dig anything up I'll post it.

I really do not like posting this type of response but I also really don't like scammers who try to cut out hard working entrepreneurs .
All I can say is if you are so inventive then rather than copying why don't you produce something we can appreciate?
