KungFuJosh:
This is my vacuum tube curve tracer.
In my current unit, I added a step up converter for the heater voltage. Now I can run heater voltages at 20V easily (or higher, but I don't have any need for that).

I fully agree.

But totally worth posting - I learn a lot from just seeing how some of these are assembled.
Never be afraid to post a monstrosity, if we only posted perfection there would be no posts!
Hexley:
This device tests batteries of various types -- button cell, AAA, AA, C, D, and N; coin cell lithium; and 9 volt packs. It supports battery chemistry of alkaline or NiMH types for most cells.
The knob selects the cell size and chemistry, then is clicked to start a load test with the appropriate current. The voltage under load is measured, and the display shows "New/Good/Weak/Dead" according to the corresponding voltage threshold. The estimated charge level is displayed, as is the voltage under load.
It is built around an adjustable current sink with a range of 10 uA to 200 mA, controlled by a small ARM Cortex processor that also handles the rotary encoder input and LCD output.
The battery holder is a "BF-2A", found on Banggood. Henrik Jensen (forum user HKJ) put me on to it.
