But the problem with both that gas interface and opto electricity

attempts with bits stuck all over the meter. That's why I opted for a
separate meter that I modified in series with the boards meter.


If what you put on the meter is no more than a photocell
/phototransistor on end of cable, this minimises the suspicions. Put
the circuitry on it there too raises more question marks.

In the time I've been here I dont think theyve ever even seen the
meter, they dont seem interested now.
