Has anyone thought of adding a small voltage meter tho this device I’ve seen some small digital display ones but it seems they only go up to 100v . All my parts should be here Monday. I’m ready to start tinkering.

I bought a 0-500V DC Baomain brand analog meter on Amazon to add to my cap discharger. Inexpensive, and much easier to read than a digital meter with rapidly fluctuating/changing voltage.

@johnathan oh that’s a good idea. I suppose I would need some diodes to keep the polarity correct on the meater is there anything else that I would need to do other than that.
