REFLECTOR: IVO prop Motor Current

[Hiroo Umeno]

For IVO prop owners out there...

Do any of you have data on the current draw by the prop pitch adjust motor?  The way it is set up, when the prop is at either end of travel, the motor bottoms out and pops the CB.  I would like to incorporate a little more intelligent control into my version 3 electrical annunciator and distributor panel such that it will sense the rising current draw to determine the end of travel before the CB pops.  Additionally, I can use the input from p-lead to determine engine RPM and run the prop more like a CS prop.  The processor for the annunciator panel has a plenty of processing power to handle extra bits like this.
