Not trying to discourage any one, but projects exists, what his contribution would do for an "old 20,000 count dmm" who has basic measurements
Just asking ... ?? A drop in board would be very nice indeed.
If he wants to do it, he can.
For me I love the 34401, 34410 fluke 8845, 8846 ... any good meter with vfd's that i could replace with graphical displays and get rid of the vfd problems, or unobtanium display parts.
Sure vfd are fine when new, but in time, the fading / brightness problem is a killer ... I simply lack the knowledge to do reverse engineering on the communication protocols ... I'm in love with the HP 3458 led conversion project WOW
