Digitise an older engine - ESP32
#34
Great to see more people doing this, so here is mine:

My engine monitor consists of:
  • Oil Pressure - requires a pressure sender and a port on the engine to connect to.
  • RPM - requires a pulse from the spinning engine, this is usually the 'W' terminal or Tachometer Signal wire.  This could also be done using a flywheel sensor or something similar
  • Fuel Burn Rate - this will be calculated from the RPM
  • Temperature Sensors - I am using 1-Wire sensors for the following:
  1. Oil Temperature
  2. Aft Cabin Temperature
  3. Exhaust Elbow Temperature
  4. Exhaust Barrel Temperature
  5. Alternator Temperature
  • Environmental Sensor - this device will report Temperature, Relative Humidity and Air Pressure in the engine bay
Here is the Schematic
   
Here is a pic of the box
   
Here is a KIP window with the gauges
   

The code can be found:

There will be a video coming out on the 25th January about it
