[simpits-tech] Just Off The Workbench - Servo Driven Gauges!

[Marv De Beque]

Thanks.

Someone asked about the Fuel QTY gauge and the numeric digits.  It is
looking like I will be able to support that function, too.

I'm looking forward to seeing some happy faces when these start hitting
peoples' mailboxes.  ;-)

>> Let me address your questions:
>> 
>> 1) Will it be possible to connect the motor part to a real gouge ? will it
>> fit? 
>> 
>> No. The drive unit and the gauge head are designed to work together and are
>> intrinsically different than a real gauge's design. The reason for the
>> difference is allow for the gauges to be modular. The drive module is the
>> same for all other gauges and gauge head sizes. The modularity allows for
>> the buyer to purchase just the static gauge heads to save money and upgrade
>> later. 
>> 
>> 
>> 2) So does this include HSI/ADI? (I think the A-4k has F-16 ADI and HSI
>> after the "Kahu" upgrade)
>> 
>> No. Not at this time. The complexity of those instruments is so high that
>> the cost is prohibitive. I will be looking at ways to make this happen in
>> the future, but the priority right now is with the round gauges.
>> 
>> 
>> 3) Will you have some sort of PKD kit so that we can add our own gauge
>> faces? (like a generic gauge which I could make into an A-4 ASI...)
>> 
>> No. To keep costs at a minimum you will not be able to dismantle the
>> instrument to change the dial face. However, I expect to be able to offer
>> custom orders in the near future. Right now the focus is on the F-16 set
>> and getting that into production. Once that has been accomplished, it
>> should be possible to order custom faces.
