Thanks for the link, Brett.
Bob, thanks a lot for the tip.
I wasn't aware that a blinking led can make another one blink when in
series, if that is what you mean. If so - problem solved.

You can get high intensity and you can get blink but not
both in any components I've seen. Soooooo . . . get a "blinker"
of any color and hook it in series with a high intensity red
and mount the blinker out of sight someplace except on the
panel.

It works. I have two product designs for customers
that do this very thing.

You're most welcome sir. That's what the List is
here for.
I did a presentation for the local PAMA chapter of
avionics and electrical technicians here I Wichita
last night. From the kinds of questions fielded during
and after the talk, I thought many of those folks would
benefit from the networking function that the List serves
for tapping the collective gray matter of numerous folks.
I described List functions to them and invited them
to join in and see if they can perceive any benefits.
We may be getting some new members from "the dark side"
of general aviation.

Subject: | Dimmer for 5 volt lights |
Bob,
Is it possible to control multiple copies of this dimmer from the same pot?

It just so happens that I'm building one for a customer. Details
are not finalized yet but it looks like the critter will be rated
at 0.7 to 5.0 volts output at up to 4A. It will be packaged in
the same enclosure as shown on page 2 of
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/AEC/9011/9011-700-1C.pdf
I'll know more in about a week. Prototyping parts are expected
here later this week but I won't be able to play with them
until next week.
I think the price will be something on the order of $55
and will include the externally mounted dimmer control
pot.
The part number will be AEC9033-1.

I'd have to think about that a bit. I think so but I'll need
to noodle through the physics of the control loop. Why multiples
instead of one BIG one?

I might need more amp capability, so I thought multiple dimmers would be the
way to go, Are you going to make this dimmer available with a higher
capability? or did I not catch your meaning of a "one big one"?

Subject: | AeroElectric.com is in new digs . . . |
As of yesterday, we've moved the website to Matt Dralle's
servers in Livermore, CA. For the past 6 or 7 years, I've
shared a single server with a friend of mine at
http://www.stirlingengine.com/
We wore out one machine and bought a new one about two
years ago. Now the latest one needs attention but Brent
has moved out of San Diego and the young fellow we hired
as our hardware/software guy has graduated from college
and costs more than we can afford. Soooo while the
personally owned server stood us well for some time,
it takes more time and hands-on attention which
has become impossible since we both live so far away
from the server's physical location.
So, I've gotten out of the server business and moved
the 'Connection to Matt's machines. I think the transfer
went very smoothly and we now have a secure order form
as well. However, if anyone notices some broken links
or denied permissions for reaching any links, I'd
like to get a heads up so I can go fix them. Thanks!

Subject: | What about an electronic distribution panel? |
I am building a Zenith 701 with a Rotax 912ULS engine and would like to have
opinions about using a commercial panel power distribution system like EXP
Bus Products' EXP2V (see
<http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/expbus.php>
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/expbus.php) . My plane will
have the normal electrical stuff: landing lights, radios, intercom, Dynon
glass cockpit instruments, nav and strobe lights, VHF and Mode C radios, an
EZ single axis autopilot, and a few lighted steam gauges.
I know aeroelectric says keep it simple and use switches rather than
breakers, but I don't have a lot of room left on my panel and this "box"
looks easy to install and flashes indication that a breaker has been tripped
(with an indicator module option).
Do you know if this device provides for an essential buss or will isolates a
bad generator? Is this overkill? Are there specific up or downsides I need
to know about? Is it a good way to go?
Thanks for the advice,
Les
