![Build an Analog Bandwidth Meter for old-fashioned Network Monitoring [DIY]](http://nexgadget.com/images/Build-an-Analog-Bandwidth-Meter-for-oldfashioned-Network-Monitoring-DIY_ehnu-_0.jpg)
In case you’re keen on gauges and visual indicators this DIY project combines a vintage voltage meter with a latest microchip to create an eye fixed-catching bandwidth monitor.
DIY blog SKYTEE shares an academic on methods to convert an old gauge-they use a groovy voltage meter from 1908 for some steampunk flair-into a trendy network monitoring device. You’ll want a gauge to repurpose, an Arduino chip-they admit it’s a bit of overkill for the job but they’re available and straightforward to program-and an assortment of small parts available at your local electronics hobby store like resistors.
