engine monitor 2/2
Note the red arcs on the fuel gauges: the respective alarm is on because fuel level is under a pre-set threshold (25%)
Alarms are defined for all gauges.
In parallel, I am also researching flight instruments.
There is a lot of stuff out there, so just reviewing and selecting hardware and software (algorithms) is taking a good deal of time.
Some candidate sensors:

Awesome work Carlos,
I am doing a development project with an RPI and have found it to be a very stable platform. I am using Tkinter for the HMI build. All code written in python. One thing to consider, limited ports with the RPI unless you go with I2C devices. Good luck with your project, I am very interested.
