ok guys
just to let you know about the status of the TTU at this time.
it has been hard to keep up with making new versions of it and doing the software.
in the end it has become a bottomless money pit for us , to keep up with new stuff and software updates that can only be done by us.
this is why we have not delivered any units to Aeropanda yet.
after thinking and using it by many users, we have decided to make a complete new TTU.
i spent a fortune investing in parts , time and making everyone happy , however at this point all units are actually costing money instead of making money.
Now i like the fact that all this stuff should be affordable for the end user, and easy to use.
As Jeti is a complex system, and they don't really like to share much info, we have to do everything ourselves wich means testing testing and testing.
We can not simply buy every configuration and test all combinations.
So we trippled our thinking power, and joined forces also with Carsten Groen (I think a lot of people allready knows Carsten from his telemetry stuff).
Carsten and I have worked also in the past together as we where the first to make an affordable external GSU/Display for jetcat to build in your plane!.
We shared info and Daniel, Carsten and myself thought of many things to do and make this unit affordable, upgradable, and have as much options possible on board for the Average Jet pilot.
After this i decided to Stop the current production of the TTU and waste no more time on this device..
All of you who have purchased it dont worry ! Read along and see what we will do!.
So we came up with the New "TTU" .
This unit is a small box powered with a ARM processor running at 180 MHz, 4 times more program memory and 50 times more RAM memory as the old TTU.
It will have standard :
1 x CAN bus (for CAN bus based sensors read more below)
2 x Engine inputs (Jetcat input / Serial input Kingtech fadec etc etc)
2 x Extra EXT/sensor ports to add more Jeti sensors OR you can set one as a servo output or smokepump or extra valves.
1 x USB port For upgrades
1 x SD card slot for Logging realtime your tubine.
1 x 3D G-sensor on board (up to 24G)
1 x Altimeter sensor on board (with tube connection to static port).
Will have like the old TTU:
Fuel consumption
Reset fuel counter
Full LUA app to show and voice speech for status messages comming from engine ECU.
Full array of engine parameters can be shown on your DS24/DC24, but most will probably use the LUA application.
CAN bus
this will open a complete new line of possibilities, stay tuned
Old TTU users .
we feel sorry if you can not use the full posibilities of the older unit , therefore we offer you as soon this new unit is on the market.
to get a FREE new version , you can keep the old unit or sell it.
you just need to pay for the shipment costs thats all.
as from now there will be no more old versions for sale.
Expected release first quarter of 2018

another 2 months surely.
first we have to field test them and do some debugging.
i want to be sure these CTU work perfectly as they are supposed to be.
we will send around about 20 pieces to pilots that fly almost every day.
with different setups.
at this moment the hardware is done , the boxes are done.
and since its user upgradable , we dont any chinese copycat running away with our hard work.
so there is some encryption involved.
we also have a few Jeti things done on the side , those are ready and waiting for labels.
will tell more soon..
