Sump pump Monitor My parents have a cistern and a sump pump which would be useful to have some sort of water level monitoring. In the past, we would check the cistern level with a pressure gauge calibrated in inches of water. There was a rubber squeeze bulb which which would pressurize a plastic line which fed into the cistern, and the resulting level would be shown on the gauge.

Fluke 45 I repaired a Fluke 45 benchtop multimeter I found in a surplus store. Fortunately the [service manual] is extremely comprehensive and it turned out to be R5, (a 3.5Kohm, 5W, 1% resistor). According to the service manual is not a component which affects calibration so I was able to replace it and I now have a wonderful benchtop meter.

7-segment display module [Working Display] Arduino library available on Github This was one of my first doublesided and surfacemount boards. I made this board using Eagle for layout and then I used BatchPCB to manufacture the board. The board operates correctly, however, if I were to revise it, I would use a larger SMT resistor than the 0402 size. The board will be controlled via I2C from a PIC microcontroller, initially for the pressure sensor and later for other projects.
