Day 119, 1/6/24 Small electrical "finishes" 8 hours

 Electrical, and small things.

Picture of the day :-)

Open plotter runs on installed hardware.

Inside electronics compartment


What was done?

  • Installed Raspberry box power.
  •  Installed Raspberry box.
  • Tested (unsuccessfully) IMU (looks like connection was bad).
  • Routed wires from pedestal to nav table
  • Added Resistor boards to maintain lower brightness on indication LEDs on main switch box .
  • Connected remote control to deck lights.
  • Installed "secondary" GPS. Found place for it to work through deck (single layer deck part). 
  • Checked dual screen configuration, looks like I will need to add HDMI splitter to make effortless display mirroring between cockpit and nav table.
  • Cockpit display and Raspberry cross powering each other over HDMI. Issue will be fixed with splitter.
  • Ran engine to check idle speed and Full throttle RPM. Measured Idle - 850 RPM, Full (but not full) throttle 2800 RPM. Engine runs stable but pretty strong white smoke. Need to confirm how it smells (oil or water).

 

Checked fuel tank dimensions. Unfortunately can't use of the shelf tank.
