Thank you! This is somewhat of a simplified version of my ridiculously complex "Saber Calibrator" box that has various functions including volt and amp metering.

Thanks guys.

I hadn't really planned on making more, but a few people have asked so I will come up with something soon. The main difficulty it that I can't find a good source for that box, so I may have to do something a little different.
