Default RE: Official Turbo-DAC build thread.
Hello everyone,

New updates from Turbo-DAC at FIU.


The engine was ran again today, it runs really great! We got our DAQ system up, we use an omega 15 channel OMB-DAQ-55 board that is USB capable. It is going to record all pressures and temperatures of the engine. Labview was installed, software is ready!

There is a small problem though, we use the glow plug panel and it seems to be malfunctioning. It requires a 12V input, then spits out 1.5V for the glow plug. Well all of a sudden, while the jet was running the glow plug panel light shuts off. Turns out the panel spits out 11V instead of 1.5V, 11V is enough to fry a glow plug i suppose!

I dont know why it did this but the little hobbico glow plug driver panel (as seen in the pictures above) has been fried. We are using a steady 12V power supply.

In any case, it is no big deal.

- Dan
