PKE Meters • Re: Rubie's/HalloweenCostumes.com PKE meter replica conversion.

Ah, I actually did some experimenting. The 8 pin jst connectors are interchangeable - but there's a difference in voltage for the Rubie's LED arms. So if you just swap then the display LEDs go dim except the last one.

I did a whole main board swap, and motor swap since it is smoother and quieter. I also switched out the AAA batteries for a 3.7v lithium battery. I added a small MP3 decoder board and loaded it with some PKE sounds and tied the playing and pausing functions to the same button to raise the arms.

Was a fun build!
