[simpits-tech] Controlling synchros

[Joseph Fagner]

I'm working on a similar issue with a Fuel Flow meter from an F-16.  We had
thought about doing that very same thing and still might.  We are looking at
our options right now.  We are also looking at building a "poor mans"
digital to synchro converter since the real things are damn expensive.  I'm
getting some help since that stuff is way over my head.  We are still in the
early phases of trying to come up with an affordable solution.  Keep us
posted on what you come up with.

Subject: [simpits-tech] Controlling synchros

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.
