    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. James On 6 February 2013 21:57, Robert L.

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. >I've prototyped a PIC-based fuel gauge on a >Microchip PIC18F along with the ubiquitous Nokia >LCD phone display.

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. 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. >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. 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.
