    Trimmer selection

    Here's a 200 ohm thumbwheel pot(single turn), 10 for $1.00, 200 OHM TRIMMER POT | AllElectronics.com I've got them, they work great. I've also bought from this site many times.

    McMaster Wicks

    I use this silica sleve from MSC. It separates easy, wicks well & lasts. Nicotime introduced me to this particular wick. Don't make the mistake I did & order 4'. I'm set with wick for a loooong time. :) I'll see if I can point Nicotime to this thread, he's also tried a ceramic based(I think)...

    Help from cct designers please...

    Thanks for the link, I'll take a look. I wired up 3 zener diodes & 3 LEDs in this circuit: I had to put the resistor on the red to dim it some. This worked ok, not perfect, but ok. I ran it from 3v to 4.5 volts & had no problems. I popped a red LED when I ran it up to a little over 6v. I...

    I forgot to mention, that's tri-color LEDs in that vid.

    Help from cct designers please...

    The LM3914 is the easiest way to achieve this. It can be run in bar mode, my 1st vid or dot mode, this vid from my early testing. Note, it's higher voltages, but still about a 1v range. I didn't have my adjustable power supply at that time. I was using a digital pot across the adjustment pins of...

    Help from cct designers please...

    Here's a circuit, from here, using Zener diodes. You'll have to change the Zener diodes to the ranges you want & maybe change the resistor values. I haven't had the chance to play with the circuit yet, so I don't know what the exact resistor values would be. The ones listed may work. Just...

    Help from cct designers please...

    I haven't really had much luck with zener diodes. Here's some good info on them. I picked up some TL431's(adjustable shunt regulator) that I am going to try out. Here is a battery voltage monitor circuit using them. Google is loaded with circuits using them. On a side note, as the voltage...

    Help from cct designers please...

    Both pots could be replaced with resistors(just need the values for the voltages you want to display). Also, some of the wiring could be shortened/eliminated making this a fairly small unit. The wires on the left side of the breadboard are not part of the circuit.

    Help from cct designers please...

    The LM3914 setup isn't really that big. It looks large spread out on a breadboard, but, in reality, can be made pretty compact. The LEDs & resistors can be soldered directly to the chip. Also, you don't have to use 10 LEDs. You can use 3 RGB LEDs(&, in this case, fiber optics) with it. :) Sorry...

    Rocket's carto-meter

    Hey Rocket, did you know there are 2 kinds of that meter? One has the board like yours(narrowed at the top), one has a board with a wide top. They are both the cheapo HF 7 function MM, I've got both. I did some checking. The one you used is the model #90899, the other is model #98025. BTW...

    Aargh ! Electronics novice needing help.

    I'll give that a shot. I've got a 100k pot, I'll have to try it first, just to see what happens. :) I like a fresh battery with a dual coil carto, if I can keep that for the life of the battery charge, that would be great! Thanks for the info.
