Interesting stuff Bob. Do you have plans to release a board with support
for a PIC with more IO lines (both analogue and digital)?
I've prototyped a PIC-based fuel gauge on a Microchip PIC18F along with the
ubiquitous Nokia LCD phone display. There was a chap who made little
development boards with theses on, but he decided some time ago that he was
dropping the project, which was a shame. It was a little board about 2 x
1-1/2" and it had a regulator, crystal, couple of LEDs, etc. along with the
SMT chip.
Works pretty nicely, but I think the display was a little bit dim for a
fuel gauge in any case... so I could do with investigating a new OLED-based
version that would be readable in daylight. With all the PIC power
available... it could a whole heap more too.

Not in the plans right now. I have two sets of artwork
that have been massaged into something of a "do lots"
configuration. One that fits the plastic enclosure
with a top mounted connector (a la wig-wag controller)
and the other fits entirely inside a 15 pin, d-sub
back shell.
With these two boards I can craft perhaps 20
different products.

We had some discussion here on the list about
ECB layout and source options. I use ExperessPCB's
free 'cad' program to layout boards and they
are my current supplier of choice for boards.
In this competitive market, there are no doubt
other attractive options.
If you wanted to throw your project into the 'open
source' arena, there are probably folks here on the
list that could assist with a board layout as well
as other issues. I might consider some level
of participation. We'd want to set up a folder
(perhaps on aeroelectric.com) where all the data
would reside.
Your board doesn't sound like it would take more
than an hour to lay it out. You can get 3, fast-
turn prototypes for $60.

I've got a LOT on my plate right now but
if it makes sense to you, run it up the
List flagpole and see how many folks salute it.

Yes. The open-source project data for the
Programmable Wig-Wag Controller has been
posted at:
http://tinyurl.com/cg63y3k
Assembled product is available from
the website catalog.
The next item is in process; hardware
is done. Software is moving along for
a battery capacity meter that will be
useable either on the bench or in-situ
on an aircraft.
