lektor January & February 2021 83What can you expect at such a low price? I honestly
didn’t imagine very much when I saw the small box,
but I was pleasantly surprised when I inspected its
contents. They consisted of a measurement module
with a lot of connectors, a separate display module
with touch keys, a USB cable, a temperature sensor
with a short cable, and a separate small cable for powering
the display (Figure 1).
JOY-iT VAX-1030
Wireless Measurement Module
By Harry Baggen (Elektor)
There is often a desire to extend an existing
circuit or some equipment so that it can
display voltage, current and measurement
of other parameters. Today, such
capability is integrated into measurement
modules of such low price there is
little point in building them yourself.
One example is the JOY-iT VAX-1030.
For around €40/£35/$45 it offers such
capabilty as well as communication
over a wireless link.
