I actually used a flow sender but am considering going = to injector reading as for some reason my flow sender is erratic and = very sensitive to bubbles.

Unfortunately our Dynon Skyview is the = same.
My plan is to roll my own injector pulse to = frequency converter - to mimimic the fuel flow senders so my sky view = can do its thing.

Done the google = search for you, available in Aus $388.00 http://lightflying.com.au/vega-singles/ =
likely to be other makes available also,
Mgl say they are now open source, so completely = configurable if your so inclined. or just use as is. worked for me.
