Multi meter Hack
We built and donated this for the Science teacher at Webb Elementary School in McKinney Texas. The school was hosting several teams in the KidWind Challenge. Link Here
They needed a device to measure both volts and amps at the same time to test the output of their wind powered generator projects. This tool is to help them chart their changes in blade configurations and such.
We hacked an old analog multi meter and cobbled some parts from an old fire alarm and viola, a custom dual diagnostic instrument !
It's not pretty but it works.
