Hi Guy's;
Thanks for
the words of encouragement. It really is a rush to feel the power while sitting
in the cockpit doing a run-up.
Tracy; I
appreciate your efforts to bring us a new product and while I'd love to have it
my panel now, I can understand the difficulties you must face trying to please
everybody's request for customization. I'd rather you took your time and did it
right. You can hang on to my deposit as I still want one eventually and I don't
mind funding your R&D. Since you are adding extra functionality.... how
about a serial out of all engine data, to allow the consumer (me) to
connect to a laptop for monitoring with a TrendLink program and possibly attempt
to build my own graphical display? :-)
I brought my
tach from my new ski-doo up to the airport, but ended up busy with other items
and haven't tried it yet. Maybe tomorrow after work. I looked at a diesel tach
today. It runs off a sensor that is mounted on the alternator. The back of the
gauge has an adjustment pot, to calibrate tach to a known RPM. Just need to get
an optical tach for the prop speed then do the math. The problem with this is
that the tach face is only up to 6000 rpm. As my upper limit should be approx
6200 rpm, this would barely work, but I'd like to find something
better.
I
am using the LS1 coils, but I agree that it shouldn't make a difference in the
trigger signal.
