Functions

Hydraulic Oil Temperature

Using Adafruit MAX31856 thermocouple amplifier

Digital Tachometer

The engine controller uses a CoilX board from AutoSport Labs to digitize the coil pulse. This provides an engine speed reading.

Hydraulic Pressure Transducer

There is a pressure transducer in the hydraulic manifold.

IMU
