A device like that would be interesting to have in a lot of places. Like
measuring current to fuel pumps as a take on their state of repair. Wouldn't
it be nice to have several of these and other sensors working in "background"
on another "page" of my engine monitor that I could peek at from time to time.

Relatively trivial to you, perhaps. Current sensing sounds like a great way
to spot a fuel or water pump failure, or even potential for failure. I
managed to build an RST intercom that sorta works. Could I build one of
these gizmos? What would be involved?
