That's just the nature of electronics, it's always getting better at lower prices. Want to buy my used $1200.00 Loran unit? :>)
Darn, there's always someone who needs more than I thought of.
There are a total of 16 thermocouple inputs on the EM3 that I can configure as EGT or CHT inputs. I can make 9 CHTs or 9 EGTs but that would leave only 7 of the other type.
I have a dozen finished units on the shelf so I'll definitely have them at Sun n' Fun. There is a backlog of about 20 units now but I'll be able to package & prep more pretty quick.

Tracy,
The EM3 looks like quite an improvement over the
EM2.
Will you have one to show at the next Sun n Fun in
April?
I am working on a friend's aircraft, a Murphy Moose
powered by a M14P, 9 cylinders. Is there a way that the EM3 could be
configured to read the CHT and the EGT for 9 cylinders.
By the way, the EC3 in my Glass Goose works
fine.
I think I should sell my used EC2.

Bob,
Many of us are electronically challenged - well I
speak for myself at least. So your not alone.

If you could make it install itself that would be good.

Really I don't think I am smart enough to use all the features
that it has.

It's way late but I finally got the documentation,
production, etc sorted out on the EM3.
It has all the
same features as the EM2 plus 4 additional CHT and EGT inputs which can be
used for general purpose temp measuring channels. Also it can
do data logging on every input at 1 second intervals. Data stored on
a USB 'thumb drive'. Log is displayed using an EXCEL spreadsheet on
PC for analysis.
It is also modular so you don't have to pay for
features you don't need. Price is lower too. I had them made
in larger quantity to get lower production costs.
Went back to the
two part architecture (Display and acquisition module (AQM) of the early
EM2 because of the fewer wires needed between the panel and engine room
(total of 5 wires). This makes the connections between the AQM and
engine sensors much shorter. If the temperature guidelines are
followed, the AQM can be mounted in the engine bay. The new
design eliminates the noise problems which limited the distance between
AQM and display seen on some EM2 Canard installations. I,ve
tested to 30+ feet and even more should be possible.
Not ready yet
but soon will have an option for Altitude Encoder output for connection to
your transponder.
At the risk of encouraging more
feature creap, are there any other functions you guys would like to see in
an engine monitor?
