Did you look at MicroEFIS 1.0 and think "That's great Pete, but what else can it do?" ( No one said this....) Well have I got a deal for you! Introducing MicroEFIS 2.0!
Same great glare-shield form factor, but now with rolling digits and an experimental carbon monoxide warning system! Marketing hype aside, this little gizmo has been very useful. It's essentially a secondary display for Dynon data mounted up high where it is easy to see and keep eyes outside. The AOA and the flap speed indications are really nice up high.
The rolling digits are just eye candy, but the CO detector is something I have wanted for a while. Is it certified?, NO. Is it calibrated? NO. Does it only detect carbon monoxide?, sadly, also NO. I'm using a $4 MICS5524 gas sniffer that works for CO, reading the data via an ESP32S2 Mini, and displaying the data on a small TFT screen. Does it work? YES - my neighbors can attest to that. They know I'm weird, but sitting behind the car looking into the tailpipe taking data was a bit more than normal, and I had to show a few what I was doing. There was muttering and head shaking as they walked away.
I put in a digital CO readout - this it the ADC level the sensor reports, as well as a time graph of CO levels to monitor trends. Finally, a can't miss big red screen if the CO level spikes. It needs flight testing, but ground testing says it responds quickly and accurately to the introduction and removal of CO gas- see concerned neighbors above.......
Enjoy the professional production quality of the attached you tube short, and if you figure it out, let me know what posessed 65 people to view it before I posted here - that is a mystery!
I've done a bit more clean up on the display, but I'll fly with it now and make more changes as needed. Lots of tinkering, but for less that $20 in parts, it's pretty cool!
