This project was for a friend who needed rudder position indicators on his boat.
Thanks to Steliosm for the idea of using servo's with needles attached for the actual indicators. It uses two pots linked to the rudder system to provide ADC signals to the 08M from which it derives the servo driving data. The main feature which may be of use to others is that it can be calibrated with the use of a single push button to use any portion or any angle of the pot attached to the rudder.
Details are in the software file.
There are plenty of comments in the software as I prefer not to use symbols
Any comments ...other than the non use of symbols... are welcome.
Cheers
Mick
