Hi,· I would lie to monitor 4 channels of current in the 0-500 milliamp range.· Ideally, I could find some parrt I can pipe the current through that also has a serial interface to communicate with the stamp.. I need to log 4 channels.· Anyway, has anybody done anything like this?· I would like to know what parts/circuits you used, and how you solved the problem.· Thanks. /John

    Thanks. I snagged it off the Teslamania website (www.teslamania.delete.com) with permission from the owner. It seems to fit a lot that I do, especially when I turn the students loose in the lab. I'd love to have a larger version of it to hang in both the classroom and lab.

    where do you teach?
    i am still a student.
    I am atending Berks Career & Technology Center for robotics and automation technology.
    the sign fits me perfectly.
    i used to like to take capacitors that are rated at five volts and plug them into 120 ac just to watch them blow up.
    dont worry i put them in a clear container so i dont get hit with parts.
    but i havent done this in about a year though
