How much shipped to USA

I'm in the USA, so not too much.  How many empty pcb's do you want?

Here is the youtube video I made on how it works (back when it was on a breadboard):



The display is a very unique old style, but there is a guy on eBay that has some still.  You might send him a message and see if he will just sell you a few.  If not, I can part with a couple.

Do you have an AVR ISP programmer?

I'd like one. With a display. Could you preprogram a chip? I don't have an AVR programmer yet.

Good job! very nice indeed. Seriously your first SMD soldering? I made few, but still far away from your skills.
Can you post the schematic of this?
What is the Voltage/Current supply range and a measurement range?

...  I've mostly switched to ones like these:

I bought some of those, but ugh, they're nasty. They fit very loosely in the breadboard and pull out too easily. I've also had several of them break.

I like the ones from Sparkfun.

That breadboard meter is awesome, would be a nice addition to have.

Very nice job on that - badass!

The board layout looks top notch and your soldering is impeccable, not to mention it's a cool little device.  Congrats!
It's not always the most popular person who gets the job done.

Hi Everyone,

Good job! very nice indeed.

I appreciate the positive feedback - I got the idea when I saw one of those power supply adapters on eBay and thought I would sure love to know if a change I make on the breadboard results in an overcurrent (short) situation right when I do it.

Seriously your first SMD soldering? I made few, but still far away from your skills.

You should have seen my first PTH soldering - It was awful!  I was trying to solder a header onto a 2x7 100mil LCD header and getting solder bridges!  The radio shack iron I was using sure wasn't helping though.

Can you post the schematic of this?

Sure:



Here are all the project files including source code and a parts list.

http://home.earthlink.net/~alank2/bbmeter/bbmeter.zip

What is the Voltage/Current supply range and a measurement range?

I do most of my projects at 5V, so normally a single 5V jack supplies the meter and the breadboard.  You can disconnect the two and power the meter part separately and the power the breadboard with a different voltage - see the schematic.  I think the voltage can go up to 20V with the voltage divider/2.5V reference I am using.

Thanks,

Alan
