I like tinkering and decided to throw a volt meter on my ski.
I have a waterproof 4.5v-30v meter installed on my chinpad. Here's a link to one on ebay. Or just search ebay for waterproof volt meter and look at the ones that are similar to mine. I ordered from somebody in the US, can get it for under 10 from china.
I dremmeled out a box on my chinpad and 5200'd the meter right in. Ran some smallish gauge wire to the battery, I also wrapped it in the plastic tubing to kinda protect it a bit. Soldered and shrink wrapped everything. Results below.
Everything was groovy except, the
ing sun! Who would have thought the sun would make reading this thing impossible. Actually, it isn't too horrible. I just have to put my hand over it to read it. Practice some one handed riding I guess. The green one might have been a bit easier to read.
