That's probably true, and it's a sad state of affairs for the
'hobbyt' programmer come electronics enthusiast when off the shelf
products cost less to buy than to create for themselves.

I think it would be a nice safe teething project for someone new to
PIC's even if the easy way out would be to buy the meter.
Cost aside (sometimes) it's more fun and self satisfying to build
things for yourself.

Then you can say - "Hey!! I made that" to the poor souls who can't.
