[simpits-tech] Controlling synchros

[Simon Bennett]

Since I've got a remote attitude indicator coming in the mail any day now 
(my first real aircraft instrument), I've been thinking a lot about how to 
drive it. Almost everyone seems to think driving synchros is an almost 
impossible task, but I'm not so sure. Trying to generate the signals to 
control them would definitely be a hell of a challenge, but I'm wondering, 
wouldn't it be possible, and much less frustrating, to wire the indicator 
synchro a torque transmitter, the rotor of which is controlled mechanically 
by a stepping motor or the like? I'd rather not gut the indicator if I can 
find any way to use it in its original state.
