So, I set about building an open-source ice tracker from DIY components that not only proved to be much, much cheaper but also much more capable than the commercial options. This consumed around 350 milliamperes while running at 5 volts for about 1.7 watts, but the Apollo3 uses just 500 microamperes at 3.3 microwatts.

Here I took advantage of already owning an electric lawnmower, figuring that the 40-volt, 4-ampere-hour battery I had for it would serve well. Being an open-source design no doubt keeps the price of this hardware down: The controller I bought set me back a mere $85. The third essential element of any e-bike is, of course, the battery.

Searching the interwebs, I found no shortage of leads about how to build a DIY seismometer. The problem is that the DIY seismometer designs I was seeing were large and ungainly contraptions. If I had a suitably sensitive seismometer, though, I’d be able to measure them. I recently decided that I needed to give this a try.

My first Instrument Idea involved the adaptation of a digital volt meter as the pack voltmeter. one just needs to measure the resistance of an analog meter and divide that by the voltage to determine the resistance per volt. Therefore my meter was 518 ohms/12 volts = 43.16 so I put it in reverse and pulled out of the garage!
