I see Asia Engineer selling a lot...

Like this: 200 V DC BLUE LCD Battery Panel Digital Volt Meter - eBay (item 330260572812 end time Aug-19-08 02:22:05 PDT)

and

3 1/2 Blue LED Digital AMP Panel Meter + Shunt AC 20A - eBay (item 370075393653 end time Aug-09-08 10:14:28 PDT)

No 3A meters, but they have 2 and 5.

6. 12 Cinch-Jones male and female plugs. The female are panel mount, the male are cable mount.

Any recommendation on where to acquire these?

That should take care of all the goodies needed to construct the modules. Let me know if any help is needed sourcing the items.

I will post pictures and details of the metal needed for the mainframe construction. You can pick that stuff up locally.

A couple of nice items to have if you think you are going to be playing around with LEDs are a variable voltage/current adjustable power supply with a digital readout... about $160. And an infrared remote thermometer... $60 to $150.

If I'm less innovating and more following, would I need these?
Thanks again
