Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Rudder angle indicators



Had a reply regarding "made to order" magnetic rotary membrane potentiometers.
 
>In general, we are able to customize any membrane potentiometer.
>There will be a one-time setup fee of 400US$ and the minimum order quantity is 10 units.
>The unit cost will be 27.50 US$ and shipping from Germany (our production facility)

I think I'll buy an off the shelf $10- version & have a go at adapting it.

Sounds like fun Alan. The stock strips look like they could be used just as-is.
The "strip" could be attached to the straight linkage rod, and the magnet would slide along the rod on a loose "sleeve piece" that didn't extend. Maybe just a heavy (1/8" ) wire to hold it steady while the linkage rod moved. Like you said, then just two wires to send the signal to a modified "gas gage" inside the sub. I'm looking forward to what you find out. Frank D.
