Materials for fabricating components have
evolved over the years and many components
have become smaller for their dissipation
ratings. In any case, NONE of the resistors
in the amplifier are thermally challenged . . .
what ever you can find that fits into the
slot on the board will be fine.
Let us know how it works out for you.

Althought I was the first in town to have and build a pc, I am sadly out of touch
with current technology. I have been reading the automotive boards, people
are putting in mini computer systems with a tablet monitor and running everything,
even the electric seats. So my question here, has anyone any information
on putting together an inexpensive tablet based system for experimentals? I
just bought a 10 inch from Walmart for $60, runs android, wifi, bluetooth.
I would think it could display a gps, engine instruments, Stormy Daniels, and other
stuff cheaply.
Cell technology tablets aren't much more, that would keep it connected at all times?
Can you get cheap weather radar on your cell phone?
Yes, hopelessly out of date.
Thoughts?

Look on the google PlayStore for Avare.
It's free and open source.=C2- There is a software control radio module y
ou can get for about $20, that will allow you to get ADSB-IN.=C2- I have
used it, and I works well.

I would start by splitting your learning into two groups: navigation and
ECU/engine monitoring.
These tips and links should get you started on the ECU for aircraft.
They are from an engine manufacturer. I am just learning myself so I
can=99t help you beyond what has been passed on to me:
Use microsquirt, not megasquirt
Don=99t use d sub connectors
Go with AMP seal connector
Ultra version has the AMP seal connector stock
#1 failure is the connector
Use single board ECU=99s as Piggy back boards make more connectors
and so more points of failure
They all use the same processor and firmware

These days most new quarter watt resistors are of metal film composition
and are of a size more akin to the 1/8 watters of a few years ago. They
tend to be of tighter tolerance too, thanks to the mode of manufacture
but fortunately are still cheap.

There are a few projects that I have come across on the net, Skip
althoughI can't find any links at the the moment. One problem with the
pad based approach though is the visibility of the TFT screen in bright
sunlight. The tablets using oled (also known as amoled) TFT s displays
are the best in this regard but not many manufacturers are using them.
Samsung were a couple of years ago but even they seem to have now
followed the general market trend and discontinued them.

I spent quite a bit of time last year using a Android tablet and a Android
phone (Samsung 5) for navigation.=C2- Granted, my canopy is tinted, but I
never had an issue with the sun being to bright to use them.
