Here are a couple of photos of my homebrew
digital fuel monitoring system, I have mentioned in the past (seems like I've
been working on it forever). Got the PC board in today and got it mostly
populated with the components. It will sit in a 2 1/4" instrument case
with the LCD extending out past the boundary of the case. I plan on
trying some vacuum molding of thin ABS plastic to form a attractive
front cover.
The front panel shows the LCD display screen
as well as the push buttons for loading fuel, setting alarms and selecting
which screen you wish to display. The center shaft controls the LCD
backlite so it will be visible either in day or night.
Hopefully, I have designed and constructed the
board properly (my first microcomputer/controller board) and if so, then the
software (which I have completed) will be loaded and it will be
installed in the aircraft for testing. I certainly plan on having it
installed for Sun & Fun.
