Hi Ed,
Yes this is part of the system I am
programming. It also read and writes to the EC2 ( I think the map function
will be rather handy,) engine monitor, moving map (using georeferenced
.tiff of the sectionals available for $2.50 each rather than buying paper
charts), check lists, and monitoring for absent minded pilot,
etc.
I have not purchased the sensor yet, but am about
98% sure I am going to go with micro strain's 3DM-GX1($1500). It uses
3 axis magnetometers, accelerometers and gyros. They have a less expensive
(3DM, $750) unit that uses 3 axis magnetometers and accelerometers but is
not gyro stabilized. Since this bird will eventually be for IFR use, I am
leaning towards the 3DM-GX1 to be on the safe side.
Joe
