Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] rudder angle indicator



Thanks Jens,
I'm trying to find a kit that is easy to modify that others could also
adapt with little trouble. The main attraction of these kits is the
printed circuit boards that make things compact & simple.
Compactness is an advantage to me as I want to encase them & put them outside the hull. My head will be in my dome all the
time & there is limited vision into the cabin; so I want to do what
Emile has done putting his compass outside, but with a few other
items as well.
Regards Alan

I would guess this kit uses two standard voltage comparator ICs that
monitor some pre-defined voltage levels set by a simple resistor array...

Go ahead and buy it (unless they charge you $100 or so in shipping cost).

You will have to change the value of 7 or 8 resistors to suit your
application and light the proper LED according to the actual rudder
position you want to indicate with that particular LED.

If anything remains unclear, then simply send me a copy of the schematics
(when you get the kit), and I will sketch up the modifications required.

Best regards,
Jens Laland
