Could you send me the information on the web site that sells used

1500 nit

displays.  If you are going to display data you really need the full
sunlight displays.  I want to install a cockpit management system

but when I

looked at the prices of new displays ($2000 to $3000)I opted for the

Compaq

IPAC pocket PC.  I have both the Windows 2000 and Windows CE

embedded

software development kits that I obtained free from Microsoft.

Have you guys seen this site on building your own "Glass Cockpit":

I suspect this is the pitch and roll sensor he is using.
If so it won't work in an aircraft as it is a gravity vector sensor.
An A/C  gravity vector always points toward the bottom of the aircraft and
not down. This indicates a disturbing lack of understanding of the problems :-)>
I hope he does not test it under real IFR conditions :-)>

DIGITAL INCLINOMETER: The inclinometer I used is available from SmartTool Technologies of 1717 Grant St., Santa Clara, CA 95050
      (408-653-1680) as their "ISU Circuit Board - Part No. 90104001". Its intended use is as a component of a digital carpenter's level, and the cost is about
      $100. It is built on a small circuit board measuring 1.3 x 2.6 inches and requires 5 volts at about 2 milliamps for power. In addition to the power lead,
      there are connections for receive data (RX), transmit data (TX), and a common ground. When the inclinometer receives the proper 5-byte digital
      command it responds with a 6-byte message containing the elevation information accurate to about 0.1 to 0.2 degrees.
