I was one of the lucky and impatient ones that got
one of Tracy's very first engine monitors when he first released
them due to my insistent begging for one. So I have an original
EM2, serial #003.
?? This was great at the time and still offers advantages
unique to rotary engine use that can"t be provided by a more
graphical engine monitor such as the Dynon EMS-D10 which would
complement my D10a. However it has been plaqued by
intermittant display scrambling issues since the start and
many changes to the installation have had no real effect to
solve this issue. Simply pressing the cancel button resets the
display, but this gets annoying.
?? I was playing with an Arduino and built a rudimentary
data logger and I see the potential to design a more graphical
display using the data that I'm harvesting from the EM2 for
the datalogger, but given the time constraints that I have, I
can't see myself being able to spend enough time on that
project in the near future.
?? ??Since I know that later versions of Tracy's EM# series
of monitors were more advanced I thought maybe I should
inquire about availability from any abandoned projects out
there?
