<DIV></DIV>>Howdy,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I occasionally see stuff like electronic tachs, altimeters, etc on ebay. I
<DIV></DIV>>know small systems instruments like EGT, oil pressure, etc as seen on light
<DIV></DIV>>planes, typically use air core motors, but what about the big stuff
<DIV></DIV>>(especially altimeters and other instruments with lots of travel)? Judging by
<DIV></DIV>>the connectors on one tachometer I see, I assume it's a digital
<DIV></DIV>>connection....sending data and not just a simple voltage or something?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> I'm about ready to start working on some Phidgets instruments using servos,
<DIV></DIV>>but I also want to look at other solutions (I'm still not sure what I'm going
<DIV></DIV>>to do about the altimeter.....Pihers sound troublesome).
<DIV></DIV>>
