This project consists <strong>of</strong><br />
re-<strong>engineering</strong> a legacy fuel flow<br />
indicator for the F-16 to modernize<br />
its operation and deal with parts<br />
obsolescense issues. <strong>The</strong> original<br />
instrument is an electromechanical<br />
device that uses motors and<br />
mechanical feedback to drive a<br />
dial system.<br />
This project focuses on replacing<br />
the analog electromechanical<br />
system with digital components. <strong>The</strong> end result has an identical form fit and<br />
function to the original instrument, but with increased reliability.<br />
To accomplish this, we have <strong>design</strong>ed electrical circuits, a PCB layout, a mechanical<br />
layout <strong>of</strong> PCB mountings and programmed a controller to provide LED display output.<br />
