I was wondering if that might be possible and if something like this exists.

It's kind of boring to keep using the multimeter to check the 5v line every time I swap a board.

CPS2 requires 5v but KI2 uses +5v to work properly.

So I was wondering is there anything available for purchase that could measure 5v all the time?

Some LCD screen that you can wire on the PSU to keep measuring it all the time?

I might be wrong, but I think the member shadows made something like this about a year ago, shoot him a PM and he might be able to help ya ;)

I think shadows had a lead on something like this. Not sure if this was exactly it or just something similar. I don't think he made them, but I could be wrong.

Is that correct 8 to 50v working range?

Maybe the portuguese version of the site is wrong but it's not on 5v range.

Still it works from 2mA to 6mA is that the amperage it can handle to measure or is it the amperage that it needs to work?

Well I didnt make them, I just used them and made them easy to connect to a Jamma board with a passthrough adapter.

Yeah.. something like that.

Have you ever experienced one of those? Do you think they are safe to use on arcade boards?

I put them on my superguns all the time. Just remember that it's taking a reading from where ever you put the sense line.
