Screwdriver+Beer+Real AC gauges=This!
My workbench looks like a graveyard for AC gauges! I took a synchro transmitter coupled to a cheap small servo which turns it using SIOC. Add one of my 115Vac 400Hz power supplies, stir in a 28V transformer, 5- wires and a real oil pressure gauge and PRESTO!
A working gauge which operates smoothly, consistently, and realistic! If i can do this, anyone can!!!!!

I normally don't put a plug in for a Vendor, but Mike Powell has been such a tremendous help to our community. He's a man with a world of information.
And then... his first book... "Building Simulated Aircraft Instrumentation" Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
Check it out.... http://mikesflightdeck.com/mfdbooks.htm

Matt, you are correct! Mike Powell and David Allen helped me on this little project. I'll still be glad to help anyway i can.
The servo is a Hitec HS55 and that whole assembly will fit inside a 2"diameter gauge!!
