Micro Encoder Assembly

The microENCODER is a mode C altitude encoder with a host of additional features. The unit combines an altitude encoder with a graphic/digital vertical speed indicator, digital airspeed indicator, sensitive digital altimeter and digital outside air temperature indicator. Magnetic compass heading is available with attachment of the optional compass module.

With this information available to the microprocessor, additional flight information such as true airspeed, altitude alert, density altitude, pressure altitude and true air temperature are available at the touch of a switch.

The kit as received.

Read the manuals before starting. Make any corrections to the manuals that RMI have included with the kit.

Now that it is time to start, gather your tools. You will need your soldering iron from the last project, pliers, flush cutters,
a small slotted and Phillips screwdriver.
A small piece of double weight glass along with your antistatic work area and wrist strap.

Start by cleaning the fingerprints and machining oils from the two large PC boards. Leave the display driver board in the antistatic bag until later. Remember to take your time and double check everything. Most of all do not skip steps in the process!
