/So, fresh out of the box, you've invested time and effort on the system that
did
not go directly to the production of your /airplane.
Quite probably, but then I knew that before I purchased the unit. My
requirements
were for a unit that could hook into my experimental microprocessor based flight
management system. Having had a good chat with Jay Humbard who designed
the unit we came to the conclusion that their unit combined with their own
monitoring
board would actually save me around six months of development time.
/ Based on your own experience, how would you recommend that anyone purchase and
apply the EXP Bus to their own /project, and compared to what other technique
is anything saved?
/BTW . . . my goal here is NOT to disuade you from using the EXP Bus or any
other
product on your airplane. But as /individuals who offer our experience and
reason to others, we have an obligation to speak in clear and concise terms
/that
permits others to evaluate our opinions irrespective of their personal expertise
. . . I see lots of stuff offered in /magazines and out of the booths at
conventions with little more going for them than the marketing's ability to
convince /the un-initiated that the product is a good deal. You and I need to
rise very much above that.
The recommendation is simple but probably won't please you too much as it is
more
oriented to personal psychology than to hard technical Aero Electric
Connection,
wire up their own fuse panel and do all the cabling themselves then this
is by far the more preferable but lets not forget those that need a more gentle
introduction to the fine art to electrical cabling.
