Yes, I was planning to do some more fiddling and would be happy to add your ideas, but GRJ will probably have it done and posted by the time I finish writing this... GRJ's design will probably be more compact and 'correct' as well.
I'm fast, but not that fast. However, I think this is fast enough.
Here's the "Stan0004" upgrade version.
- Two level detection and indication.
- Strain relief for battery connection.
- Provision for external power switch.
- Cap and diode to allow power from AC or DC sources.
Needless to say, the PCB got larger since this is an all thru-hole design, currently 1.15" x 2.35". I thought about making it for 1/8W resistors except for the LED's, but decided to stick with what I have using the 1/4W parts.
