Yes there is... a much better idea in my opinion...
Electronics Rainbow makes a dc voltmeter circuit, costs about $7 for a complete kit.
The basic layout is two LM324 quad op amp ics set up as comparators.
The kit comes with the parts and information to set up an LED
volt meter for 5,8 & 12 volts.
It's not a problem to scale a simple op amp for what ever value
display you might want to try .
Check it out... one of the best circuits going.
cheers
