Hey, Tracy. Good to know you're elbow is on the mend.
About this
EM2 monitor you suddenly have time to work on....
How far is it going to
expand? Any chance of it monitoring the other engine
stuff we all need,
like oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temp, coolant temp,
fuel pressure,
fuel quantity * 2, egt, prop RPM, etc etc etc. How soon and
how much? I
need to make a decision on engine instrumentation real soon and
a RWS
system built for the 13B / EC2 combination would be perfect.
Best
wishes for a speedy recovery (once you've completed the EM2 :)
Anyone
want to second my wish list, or add to it?
Sure. Of course it must be set up to do
the things for the 20B as well, and measure 3 EGT's. Sort of a Grand
Rapids Tech thing set up for our engines. But then I have confidence
that you know what we need, Tracy; and what's doable at a reasonable
price.
Al
Yes, will definitely have a 20B mode since I
decided to put one in my RV-8 as backup instruments for the Bluemountain
EFIS1. Will have air data (airspeed & altimiter) backup in it
too.
While I was at it, I decided to make the EM2
suitable for Lycoming drivers, so there are 4 EGT & 4 CHT inputs
available.
If I can't market this thing for at least 40%
less than any equivalent monitor, I would not bother to build
it.
