Wideband gauge for the cheap bastard in all of us
Total cost was around $10.00 plus an old cigarette lighter cell phone charger. The CDM volt-meter is powered by 5v so the charger was used to step the car's 12-14v to the 5v it needed.
Gutted a cigarette lighter cell phone charger for the 12v to 5v bits http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1...77smallcs8.jpg Tapped into some wiring for 12v during IG key position http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3...78smallum3.jpg JBWeld to the rescue http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/9...79smalllu5.jpg Fin http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/221...80smallny4.jpg |

ahhh how is this a wideband where does it get it signal from ?? not ---- talking i just missed it if its a past thing

Re: Wideband gauge for the cheap bastard in all of us
this is just the gauge.
you will need to use a WB O2 sensor along with it to get a correct signal |
Re: Wideband gauge for the cheap bastard in all of us
come to think of it, why would you need to gut a cig lighter adapter?
does the "gauge" not accept a 12v power signal and then a 0v-5v signal from the WB o2 sensor? |

I would have gone with one of the JAWs but I got my LM-1 the week they came out. Poor thing has been through hell. |

Next time if you can't find a old cell charger, you can spend a $1.50 at radio shack.

http://www.radioshack.com/sm-5v-fixe...i-2062599.html So yeah I fucked up and realized I needed a gauge with a higher resolution to show A/F properly. Im bidding on a panel with 0.01 resolution. Shouldnt be a big deal to re-wire. |
