Mike et all.
I think I purchased it from Allied Electronics see:
http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.asp?SKU=642-2273&desc=26PCA
FA6D
The rest of the components came fom Digikey,
What would help everyone on the list is if someone would invest the time in
laying out a printed circuit board. A PCB would make it so even the most
faint hearted could successfully build this.

Ps
For those using my pressure sensor chip set there is a new low cost
prototyping board available for USD10 + p&p
http://www.kiwacan.co.nz/products/kpic/kpic-2840p.shtml
This board has a lot of the processor, timing and serial interface
related circuit board already laid out which will result in an easier
build of the pressure sensor. I have to build up another unit for myself
for a domestic water tank and I'll be using this board to build up the
circuit. Once I have done this I'll add some as built photos to the
existing documentation which can still be found at
www.kaon.co.nz/europa/fuelgaugev3.pdf

Tony

Have folk out there used a direct reading ammeter or is the preferred
method to use a shunt? We have a direct reading instrument and given we
are not talking huge current in the europa was wondering if this was
safe to bring into the panel.

Yes, In my case, I did that. The maximum current draw is about 11 amps.

Richanr,
Don't know how much bandwidth you'll generate, but I have the same
switch in N55XS and it's wired direct to the battery and other and other
busses. Never a hint at a problem. Use it with confidence...

Bob and Richard,
Congratulations of making the first flight. Now comes all the fun...enjoy
your hard work.
A question for Bob....I was always concerned about the low electrical output
from the Rotax alternator.....how is this different from the Jabiru 3300? What
does it put out from it's alternator? If someone is going all electric, is
there a vacuum pad available for a second alternator?
Appreciate all your help.

Mike,
The 3300 alternator essentially has the same output as the Rotax. The
optional 40 amp alternator that we offer for the Rotax fits the vacuum pad
on the 3300 with a slightly different mount.
