Maffs and Gazintas may just work after all
I want to give a hand to Steve and Brian for the info below that helped me get in the ballpark when using the Dynon convertors and the GRT EIS.
When I started messing with it, I was getting zilch and wondering if something was broken.
(especially my wiring)
After much trial and error, I found these values to work:
auxsf = 1367
auxoff = 865
I did some curve fitting by using the voltage levels posted by Brian (
different thread) since they applied to the Dynon convertors in an RV7 tank shape. I decided to determine the y=mx+b values that would fit the lower part of the curves up to the inflection points around 14 gallons. While the EIS 4000 does not have the ability to deal with the nonlinear curve, the graphical display on the Horizon 1 will do OK through the use of a map of paired values. I'll deal with the 14 gal to full part of the curve using the map.
Anyway, after doing the math, I came up with an auxsf value of 135 (m of mx+b fame). Hmmm. Why is it 10 times different than Steves? AHA! there is an EIS setting that moves the decimal point on the display. Once I took that into account, my auxsf was 1350. In EIS language, that is really close to Steves 1367.
Next, the AuxOff value (b). Math said the value needed to be around -500. Fine. To enter a negative in the EIS, you double it and add a 1 (so 1001). My actual "negative value" entry is running slightly larger at around 1051 in order to get zero when the tanks are empty (and a proper read on 5 gal) but again, in EIS language, that is not very far from Steve. (865 = neg 432)
I'm not done doing the gage calibration, but the early results were encouraging to me.
Thanks Gents.
