PKE Meter Build + Appology

This is being Doubleposted to my proton pack thread, but here is my PKE Build

Again, sorry about how I acted yesterday.

Posting some stills too

I really like the concept of putting the phone into a pke meter case. Very cool design and build. I love seeing home made builds.

Can I make a couple suggestions? Take them if you want, just ideas.

I don’t know how long the handle is, but you mentioned the whole until is quite long and would sit up under your arm. Are you able to trim the handle down? And maybe even make the USB sit inside the black cap at the bottom rather than stick out? I’ve broken USB cables before and that sucks when that happens.

And I can’t figure out what your antenna is made from. The part that the arms connect to. Do the arms move?

Just shortened the handle while I was making pizza, the USB is stuck like that for now, it doesn’t entirely fit in the pipe, the antenna neither move or light, they’re for looks. They were originally meant to light up and that bombed so I nixed it

Meant to put this in the previous post

What is this part originally? image

What about some heat shrink tubing instead of the tape? If you do end up putting LEDs in that blink, you could cover it with heat shrink, cut little holes that the LEDs could fit through (may take some figuring out) and then shrink it.

Oh, there you go, a little more proportional.

That piece was originally a hunk of metal from the project box I used to build this, took forever to fashion it, and the bottom piece. I wager the frustration with that contributed to yesterdays outburst

Testing some apps I put on the meter thought I’d post with this one

Phooey, the site’s signature overrode the app’s signature…have to research this and fix that

Test 2 to manage to get signature to post

Test 3

Are you trying to see if it works with the “preview” button first? May save you from all these “test” posts, lol. Make sure its not over 500 characters too, may be an issue.

The Android app doesn’t have one, I’m trying to get it to show the app signature
