Excellent! Nothing more satisfying than a job well done.
Just curious: if you have a fixed 5V for the USB port, why do you have to
power the meter from a battery?

Works great!! I'm tickled. I did it exactly the way you recommended. It looks
great too! I'll get the USB port today and install it. I'll send a pic of the
finished product. Words can't express enough gratitude for your help!

Bottom line for me is To Learn and Enjoy. I've learned quite a bit from you
guys! The detail is great! Since it's a dual power supply I plan on adding a
USB port to be used with the smaller voltmeter screen(waiting on the part). In
today's world USB is common now and not just banana plugs. I b
Well, it's rare that Brian and I completely agree on anything (almost as
rare as non-polarized line cords ;-) but he's summed it up perfectly.
Just to be sure, I'd double check with a meter that the switch contacts are

Makes sense to me! The switches will arrive today, so I'll be studying your
email and some good tips from Mike Stein. Which I'd like to thank both of you!!
Only been doing this fun stuff for 5 years, so I've got a lot to learn.
Haven't done any AC stuff yet, so I want to exercise caution for
Ok the pins are probably like this:

The top-right corner shows the wiring for oins 1,2,3, and further down
on the right shows where 1, 2, & 3 are physically. And the pics from the
ebay listing also show pin number 1,2,3 in order l
Glad you got it sorted.
BTW, not that it matters much in your application but I'd be surprised if
that cord were not polarized. Most cords like that are, and yours looks
like it has a ridge on one side that denotes the neutral (some cords use a
white stripe). Are you sure that one blade of the plu

If the plug is not polarized then there is no hot or neutral.
One wire IS hot (swings from -120v to +120v relative to GND).
And one wire IS neutral (stays at 0v relative to GND).
Relative to each other, it's the same 120vac either direction, or
rather, there is no such thing as a direction.

Never mind; I figured it out.Spencer
