Hi!! I am brand new to the Fusion Brain. I am building an airplane (Dragonfly) and found the number of items I wanted to monitor on my engine exceeded my panel space. I ran across the Fusion Brain and it seems the exact thing I need, at a very reasonable price. I want to monitor and alarm:

Coolant Temp
Coolant Pres
Oil Temp
Oil Pres
O2
Knock
RPM
Fuel Level (main tank)
Fuel Level (Header Tank)
Voltage
Current
Exhaust Gas Temp

I am still in the Proof-of-concept stage.

The FB is perfect for what you want. Even though this version does not have enough inputs for what you want to do. I would get one and start working with it. Or you could get 2 and have more than enough for what you want to monitor. Plus you can use it to turn on lights and such.

I'll be using a FB to measure all of those except knock (since I don't have a knock sensor in my engine), so as soon as mine arrives I'll be putting up a write-up, if that helps.
