Hallo,

i like to build electronic things at home for myself...

so i found something in the www i want to build, look at here:

http://www.ncweb.com/biz/dan/index.html , the digital display voltmeter.

Can somebody tell me, where i can find a construction manual or a pcb, electronic plan or something else where i can build myself such a digital display voltmeter???

Thanks a lot
Peter

except the first link, all other links are kits and no plans that i could use for building myself one!!!

And the first one are "leds" and no lcd display.

But i have to say thanks for surching.

Unless you are going to get an awful lot of satisfaction out of building it yourself, you would be better off just buying one. You would probably spend a lot more money on parts than it would cost to buy one, or buy a kit. Your main problem will be finding a tiny LCD display like that. I haven't seen any surplus LCD displays anywhere near that small. The single piece prices for commercial LCD displays will quite high. Also, many designs would require a microcontroller, and if you are not set up to program them, that is something else you will have to buy.

PS here is a very small voltmeter(38x14x5.5mm) that would just need a regulator and voltage divider. http://www.marteltesttools.com/products.php?cat=114&action=detail&id=73
