[simpits-tech] *README* Building Guages

[Rod Dale]

Hi Roy,
Yes - I for one am interested.
A couple of years ago I built an altimeter driven by a stepper motor and run
from FS data. It worked ok if you were flying a Cessna or similar but could
not rotate fast enough for military jets. By the time you steep climbed to
40,000ft it took about 3 minutes for the altimeter to catch up, same for
diving.
If this problem can be overcome then we will have a usable system for us
all.
Rod
