I assume those resistors are just temporary until you get hold of smaller ones that can actually rest on the PCB rather than hanging in their legs? I know it's not flight critical, but still...

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.
