Need a Techo

[mindesign]

Hi all

I have purchased a set of battery powered kitchen scales and I would like to
convert the readout from LCD to LED - if someone in/near Melbourne and
would like to consider this and another small job, I'd love to hear from you

the other job requires me to be able to sense a low water level and switch
on a tap to refill a tank to the high water mark - the key issue here is
that the environment is extremely steamy as it is for a steam cooker.

thanks

Steve

I have purchased a set of battery powered kitchen scales and I would like
to convert the readout from LCD to LED -

** Why ??

Scales with pointers are cheap and very easy to read.

LED displays consume significant power, LDC's don't - that is why LCD
displays are universally used in battery operated devices.

** That is small job and no job offer either - your request is mindless
and exploitative.

** Try using the "floating ball" mechanism from an old toilet cistern.

Should be ideal for a old shithead like you.

Yet another arsehole opinion from the autistic one. :-(

** Why ??

Brighter, easier to read from a distance?

The scales are of the electronic kind you twit.

LED displays consume significant power, LDC's don't - that is why LCD
displays are universally used in battery operated devices.

"LDC's" ? Phil Allison's new world electronics?

Even if it's a typo error, LCD does still consume power, albeit a lot less
than similar sized LED counterparts.

Gee Phil, it's gotta be a lot more interesting than replacing toaster and
jug elements?
Obviously beyond your capability - hence your terse response?

** Try using the "floating ball" mechanism from an old toilet cistern.

A technology with which you are familiar Phil?

Hmmm... diddums get out of the wrong side of bed today and acidentally trip
over a toaster?
Tsk tsk..
