I have a Mitchell float type resistive fuel sender (0-180 ohms) that I plan on wiring into my Dynon D120. Here is a picture of it.
But, I also want a separate "low fuel" dummy light to be run by the fuel sender itself. My question is, how do I do that?
Thinking outloud here, I know the resistance gets lower as the fuel gets lower, so would I want the dummy light to come on at some specified resistance?? How would I make a light come on at some specified resistance? Am I making this too difficult?
