    What Do Slave Cables Consist Of?

    Then of course you need to carry a DMM with a Slave cable set. Yes, as designed, this circuit is a hole drilled in the back of each slave plug end and an LED glued in place (watertight), and the circuit taps power from the cable lugs inside the connector body (I've spec'd springs to do this in...

I built it myself, I'll post the schematic, board file (ExpressPCB), and parts list tonight when I get home. It's a pretty simple circuit, a bridge rectifier, an...
