Default AOA indicator poll.

The 5 led moving + color sounds well thought out. That would certainly be the first thing I'd do with the NeoPixels.

Panel space in my glider is a bit like Survivor. An addition usually means something has to go. The theory on a Neopixel array just under the glareshield is that is will work for this AOA display, but also remain useful if/when it morphs into something else.

Having a functional AOA may change my mind, but I'm hoping it may turn out to be more useful for sensing airmass in addition to impending stall.

On another issue, when you drilled the sensing hole, did you go through a layer of foam? On some gliders, I'm wondering if the hole should be epoxy lined to prevent water intrusion into a inner foam layer.


Looking forward to having one.
