On some Boeings, there is quite a deal made of annunciator lights which indicate switch position versus lights which indicate system operation. For example, suppose you wanted a switch to indicate that your landing lights were on; if the annunciator was wired to the switch, but the lights were burned out, you would get a positive indication even if the lights were dark.
I want to have three annunciators; Canopy open will be red, boost pump on will be blue, and pitot heat on will be yellow.
I figure I can rig a canopy switch to back up the one that lives within Dynon. How can I rig up switches to indicate that the boost pump is actually operating, rather than just switch position? I believe the Dynon pitot tube operates in a sort of "Auto" mode, where it comes on as it sees fit? I want my light to indicate that the pitot is actually being powered, and not just that the system is operating and will turn it on and off when it wants.
