That 1.5A may be a valid continuous rating, but unlike other current sources that will grunt short term overloads, switchmode power supplies are not among them. The thing may go into a self-protective shutdown at some level not far above 1.5A. The device suited to this task will have to be rated for continuous support of the proposed load irrespective of how long we plan to load it.

The hard part will be the mechanical installation. A magnet attached to the control surface will cause a varying output voltage across a load resistor as the magnet moves.

Nuckolls, III" Subject: AeroElectric-List: An opportunity too good to miss . . . It's official. Cessna has made me an offer that was just too good to go begging - I'll be work there as a contractor next week for sure, possibly sooner. I'll be spending three nights a week in Wichita away from distractions like workshops, bins full of parts, and too many tools. This will be used to get some writing projects under way, . . . not the least of which is Rev 13 to the 'Connection. This is kind of exciting. Cessna has continuously evolved and expanded on capabilities that Beech and Cessna shared about 25 years ago. Somewhere along the road, powers at Beech decided they could purchase that work product. They let all of their labs and skunk-werks facilities go. This will be the third time I've worked for Cessna. The first time was on the 310/320 production line wiring the nose wheel well. That was 50 years ago! Worked that job for one week and gave them two weeks notice . . . I got a short tour of the Cessna electronics design and development facilities that really got the juices going! My daytime activity on the List will be limited Mon- Thurs but we can make it work.
