Habe vor einiger Zeit Kontakt mit Niels aus NL bezüglich seiner geplanten Speedos aufgenommen. Es scheint so als ob es auch hier bald eine günstige Alternative geben wird. Anbei seine letzte Mail an mich. Seine e-mail lautet: nielsb@introweb.nl

Hi Stefan,
Yes, there is some news. I have built the RC interface, which works great
(http://www.sater.nl/fotos/sater2/rcinterface.jpg)
Also I have new prints for the powerstages, but I have to test this one
still.
Monday I did some drive tests with the speedo, and it worked. Unfortunately
it was just a short test because the batteries were not full and Sater I has
to little ground clearance for a normal street. But, it drove and that is
the main thing.
So I am going to order components this week, and then I will built another
(final) powerstage. If this one works then you can test it right away, but I
am on holiday from 29.3 to about 7.4 so it is not possible at that time.
The dimensions of the parts of the speedo:
- RC interface : 60x100mm
- Powerstage : 100x125mm (each motor needs 1 powerstage)
BTW the RC-interface is a rather nice thing (see picture). It is
multifunctional, you could also use it as a RC-relais to switch up to four
devices (for example, weapons) with 2 RC-channels. It has 4 transistors to
switch up to 80V at about 1A and of course it has PWM outputs for the (2)
powerstages. Also it has a mixer function and failsaves.
I think it is still possible to make a set (1 rc-interface + 2 powerstages)
voor 100?. The price for the RC-interface alone is about 25?
Do I need to order components for you guys too?
If you want you can put this information on your forum.
Bye,
Niels
