Eagle Tree LCD display
After e-mails to tech and back at Eagle tree, I am advised that the LCD does not work at high data capture rates. After resseting it to 10 points a second the display started to work. So here is the plan. 10 points a second is very suitable for slave motor work. The Eagle tree and LCD display will be a nice way to gather data for the slave dyno. It will read the Voltage, Amperage, and RPM without a full fledged computer and Excel involved. From these three values formulas from the calibration work will deliver Power, Torque, and Efficiency at that RPM. You should be able to manually calculate these with a calcultor or these days you can probably program your phone to automatically give the three outputs from the three inputs.
Another page on the Excel spreadsheet will also be provided to do the slave motor math.
