I was extremely disappointed. With a little extra effort he could have
shown how to interface the sensors with a single chip microcomputer
and written and published a bit of source code. Nuts & Volts magazine
does that every month.

Still, you have to walk before you can run.
Nuts N Volts appeals to a geek and techie readership who are willing and capable of dealing with microprocessors and code.
I guarantee a similar article would never get published in Kitplanes because the material is over the heads and intimidating to the readers, most would just turn the page.

Come to think of it that is a big problem in our world today.
We don't push the readers because we are looking to optimize the
advertising revenue. So we lose 90% of the readers now and then. The other
ten percent might get motivated to learn something new and highly
useful to them. Not to mention new career opportunities.

EAA is all about education is it not?
