Ivo in flight adjustable pitch sensor

Postby PMarshall » Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:23 pm

I am busy developing an sensor that can tell you when your in flight adustable pitch is full fine somewhere in between and full coarse. it also atomaticaly stops at both limits. It works with a current sensor a pic and control fet. It will have a 3 LED display to indicate full fine in the middle somewhere and full coarse. I will be making one up for myself anybody interested?

How much do they cost and will it work on the ivo setup. I am looking at under R500-00 per unit.
