Be carful not to overload the meter. Start with large resistor/low current.I will take out the resistor that’s in the voltmeter and start playing with ones to get a 5volt at full scale one.
Sorry I just don't recall what I used and I am not going to tear the meters apart to find out . Plus my max volatge was 3V. Yours might be 5V or pretty much anything depending on your design.I am thinking of starting off with a 5k resistor.
From what I have read I need something between 4.7k and 5.5k.
Does this sound about right?
With 5V that would run about 1mA through the meter.I am thinking of starting off with a 5k resistor.

And the meter will have a strong magnet so any iron things lying around (e.g. tools) may be dragged into movement with enough force to damage it.Be very careful as those movements can be easily damaged.
The circuit board that you made!!Let me know if I have forgotten something.
There are lots of posts here on actual DIY manufacture of the boards.I really appreciate the files, that was said in jest!
I have never tried making my own circuit board before, I suppose this should be my ‘baptism with fire’
Let’s hit YouTube and see what’s the best way to make them.
If all else fails, there is always the proper board makers, it’s just then deciding who to send it to.
