2 Things I am hoping to do with my Arduino set-up (If I can ever wrap my head around the code), that I don't see in your version currently, are AE, PE, and DFCO LEDs, along with the ability to daisy chain displays.VL400 wrote:Whats the almost part? Open to suggestions on features
I like the LED idea Even as warning LEDs it would be handy. The daisy chaining screens could be done with firmware additions, its a little beyond what it was designed for but could be done. Can be either SPI or I2C - there are spare pins on the main processor for select lines if SPI was used.Six_Shooter wrote:2 Things I am hoping to do with my Arduino set-up (If I can ever wrap my head around the code), that I don't see in your version currently, are AE, PE, and DFCO LEDs, along with the ability to daisy chain displays.VL400 wrote:Whats the almost part?

I figured the AE, PE, DFCO LEDs can save display space for things that need to be more than just on and off. They could be used for other things like closed loop, or any other flags that someone wants to have an LED indication of.
Logging your EGTs should be no probs with a 0-5v signal I misread your first post thinking you already had a G sensor Certainly something like what you posted could be used, would prob try find one that has less range (maybe -10 to +10 G) to gain more accuracy. It would be unlikey I add that in as a standard feature only due to the cost and not all would use it. But there is room inside the logger to hot glue one in and wire to an analog input. Or even just mount one in a DB9 shell - the analog input connector has 5V output for powering sensors and boards like this.sparx-1 wrote:Sweet i thought it would be something like that, the K type probes i have only put out a small voltage and the gauges i use amplify it by 101 to produce a 0-5 Volt signal.
May be something like this from spark fun might be suitable this would do for starters.
they also have 3 axis ones
but this would do for starters.
Single Axis Accelerometer Breakout Board - ADXL193 +/-250g
sku: SEN-09332 RoHS Compliant
open to suggestions on a more suiteable device though.
It would make your ALDL Logger a portable dyno more accurate then using the time scale on a log to check for improvements

The original took far too long to build up and had many fiddly parts. Also changed a few things, it still logs to to an SD card in XDL format and uses ADX files for config but the main changes are..
* Aluminium Case
* Graphic LCD
* Rotary encoder (press to select)
* Buzzer
* 4 x Analog Inputs
* 2 x Digital Inputs
