Hi,
I just received my ucurrent Gold. Dave did a nice job on it but I'm sure some of you had an issue with the 2032, anyway I did, I popped a new 2032 in and checked the current, it's 3.8 mA but it looks like the LED is taking a good percentage of that current. After not too much time, maybe an hour, the 2032 started to drop and the LED started to blink. I figured at 4 mA's a 2032 rated at 240mAh's should have lasted longer but either my 2032 was weak or the circuit under load upped the current draw considerably - the 2032 didn't last very long. I decided to save my relatively expensive 2032's for my welding helmet so I ran in a couple rechargeable AA's 'cause I'm one of those people who walks away from the bench and forgets to shut things off which I'm sure no one else on the planet ever does!
I don't plan on mounting the Gold in a box so I just ran standoffs under the PCB put another PC with a battery holder on it under the standoffs then mounted more standoffs to keep the batts from hitting the bench. Worked fine and sits about 30mm off the bench.
Anyway, Dave, it's a neat little unit and I found an anomaly in my super duper Agilent (or whatever they call themselves today!) 34410a, 6-1/2 digit meter on the 1mA scale when I was checking out the Gold.Hard to beat for the money and worth not having to dicker finding parts and building my own schematic.
