Re: Cheap Electronic FCD - Revised

Thank you for all the help - that's really rather disappointing and suggests the device is totally pointless? If the actual reading does not matter then why not just fit 2 resistors as a divider for less than a penny rather than all this effort? Only 1 was required for a Legacy so we had hoped that ...

Re: Cheap Electronic FCD - Revised

Re: Cheap Electronic FCD - Revised

Hi, Thank for taking a look - I must have done something fundamental wrong here, and have spent longer trying to figure it out than they took to draw, route, mill and make!! Feeling like a bit of a dimwit as reading the thread everyone seems to have got them working with no issues and I have 3 that ...
