I built four units when I was in EZ-trim mode. One went in a Cozy
with a strong pitch trim. The trim on the Cozy is wicked fast and
I've been trying to get my buddy to put in a speed limiter. Needless
to say that unit doesn't work so well. The unit in a Mini Mustang II
works great, my friend wrote all new code to run a hobby servo. A
stock unit was installed in a glastar, I never heard back from him,
so I guess it worked. I plan on writing my own code after I get flying.
I want to see how the trim works at cruse, and may install a servo
speed controller. Setting the Ez-trim up is a two person job, don't
try to do the initial setup in the aircraft alone. The boards we had
made on the list a few years ago have the sockets need to attach the
accelerometer, I think a more powerful stamp is needed to run the
program for it, that is after you write it. ADXL202EB Is the unit

As far a connecting the board to the computer. With the unit on and
the programing software running, I recall getting some "BSsomething
detected message"
when I had the computer search Com 1. Photos of the boards and a
picture of a home brewed connection cable are @;
