I'd like a voltage display. I see a ton of them on sites like this and ebay like with 7-segment displays. LCd, 7 segment, I'm okay with any of it.
I would like to attach them to my Z87X-UD3H's voltage read points, just solder them on:
I see lots of displays for sale, it looks like I could just buy one and it's all good to go, but there's a few problems I have:
1. I need one that has x.xx voltage. All the ones I find only read to xx.x voltage.
2. I need to use external power, it can't draw from what it's reading as that'd be really screwy since those volts are going to the CPU and VRIN.
3. Voltage range of 1v to 3v. If you want me to be more specific, than .1v-1v to 1.7v (the lower min the better but i could live with a min of 1.3) and another at 1.8v to 2.6v.
4. Blue text (red is acceptable). 7-segment or LCD Blue negative (or red) i believe is what I have in mind.
That's all. I've considered just buying a DMM and just ripping it apart but... yea, hopefully I can avoid that.
Specifically, i'd like to solder it to my CPU Vcore and CPU VRIN points. I know I've talked about reading software/mobo readings in a similiar mod, but this needs to be hardware level and thus I can't use an arduino for this (or I could, but either way the data needs to come from these voltage read points. only other choice would be reading from the back of the phases but that's basically same thing...).
Thanks. I'm hoping this is an easy answer and just a simple "yea buy this off ebay, this guy just isn't listing all the info but we know this is the right thing" or "buy X parts and put it together'.
