Hi Guys,
I came back to the electronics after almost 30 year. My first project was (and still is) an on board glow plug driver for RC IC engines. It is sill in the prototype stage.
It works in three different modes :
1, Start mode - powers the glow plu guring the engine start
2. Manual mode - depending on the throttle stick position, supplies programmed current to the glow plug.
3. Automatic mode - keeps glow plug temperature constant.
Inputs: 2 channels from the RC receiver, reed switch, push button, glowplug support battery
Output: 2 internal leds, 1xexternal led, glow plug.
Glow plug battery 1.2 to 8V. It can be more but the PWM duty will be < 3% for full power
As it has only one button - it supports click, double click and long click events.
