Build yourself a super cheap and easy inline volt and amp meter using only $3 worth of stuff.
The video is longer than how long it will take you to make this!
It has a standard 2.1 DC input and 2.1 DC ouput so you can place it inline with a tonne of different projects and devices. Supported voltage 4 - 30V, max amp is 10A.
This was just a proof of concept, I will make a more permanent one later down the line, but really happy with how it came out.
