Hi TT,
Great idea;
Thanks!
can be done easier off site...
I think you mean constructing something safely separate from the sampler board then simply attaching a finished widget to the sampler. Yes! And there's nothing on the back of the sampler board to hurt while soldering four (could be three) through-holes pins. And the existing cell tabs -- mine had flat ribbons soldered on top the through-hole pads which I think is normal -- can be desoldered by heat from the back too.
Given reports that 1.55V silver oxide cells work, I plan to try a pair of LR44/357/1154 cell retainer clips on that gerrymander of perf board. But parts in the mail so no result yet.
I wonder if the LED-LED solution with work with side-firing SMD LEDs, which could make a very tidy package -- and probably fit on a more simply shaped bit of perf than my example. But if making Ag cells simple to replace works out, I'll likely not ever get around to trying the LEDs myself.
