Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] rudder angle indicator

["Alan James" <alanjames@xtra.co.nz>]

Hi Jens,
I started trying to adapt a schematic to use with my
rotary potentiometer. The potentiometer is 10k ohm 
but will only be turning through 5k.
I was doing it on a bread board & it was taking a while
& getting a bit messy. I want 4 of these so if I can find
a kit that's easy to adapt it will make things tidy, small & easy to do.
Also I'm thinking of others like me who are "electronically challenged" 
& would find it easier changing a few things on an existing
kit. Rather than building from scratch.
I bought a kit yesterday that has an LED display & reads the
voltage from a car exhaust oxygen sensor. I will see how this goes.
At the end of our discussions on whether rudder / motor angle indicators
were useful or not; Vance said from his experience they were.
So that's good enough for me. 
The magnetic rotary potentiometer was a breeze to water 
proof / pressure proof, if I can find an easy way of making a display
then incorporating them into the sub would be a more attractive option.
Alan
