I need to run an APU and would like to use arduino. I'm looking for someone that could code arduino and provide wiring schematic. I saw a 5" display on ebay that runs on Arduino and displays the gauges . I would like to monitor RPM and EGT. RPM to maintain is 100%. If EGT maxes out then the same should happen shut of fuel solenoid. I would like to add Pressure sensor reading at the compressor inlet and would like to put one at the exhaust side to with reading displayed on a gauge . I need a digital reading of the outlet pressure /inlet pressure = EPR ( engine pressure ratio) . I would need a pilot light to indicate that there is oil pressure . Starter would be manual be turned on by a toggle switch along with Ignition and fuel boost pump. The fuel solenoid should open when PRM reached 20% of rated speed. we could add electronic high pressure pump later . I appreciate it if the control with the arduino is wired up and a remote box that has 1. hp pressure fuel pump controled by a rheostat 1-100% on a small digital ( 1/2" display) [login to view URL] main power on for a 24V system 3 Starter on 4. Igniter on 5. fuel boost pump on . All 5 switches are toggle switches and would have an 8 ft wire from the 5" display . The 5" display would be mounted on the frame of the engine stand. Also I would like to get the right for coding and don't want the program lock for me to tweak. I would need the program code ! I will give more details for the programmer .

Hi there, I’m an embedded systems and automation engineer with hands-on experience designing Arduino-based control systems—especially for APU-type applications. What I Bring: Versatile Arduino Implementation: Whether it's an aircraft-style APU or industrial auxiliary power, I can program an Arduino (e.g., Uno or Nano Every) for start/stop routines, interlocks, sensor monitoring, and status feedback via touch displays. Sensor Integration & Safety Logic: Integrate analog sensors (temp, pressure, RPM) and digital signals (diagnostic alarms, OBD-style lights) with clean code that ensures safe operation. Custom PCB & Interface Design: I design compact PCBs, suitable for custom control panels, relay modules, or touch-screen interfaces with optimized layouts and clear schematics. Control Strategy Expertise: I can implement start, warm-up, run, shutdown, and fault detection routines—either from scratch or adapting past logic from irrigation systems or IoT pump controls. Relevant Experience: Built a smart aquarium control system: fully embedded, sensor-driven, app-integrated, and remotely controlled. Developed a large-scale irrigation automation platform with sensor logic, pump control via VFDs, and ESP-based monitoring. Designed multiple custom PCBs for reliable embedded control systems, including safety-critical behavior.

Given the complexity of your APU control system, a detailed proposal would be required. The project involves: Hardware Design: Selecting and integrating sensors (RPM, EGT, pressure), display, relays, and power management for a 24V system. Wiring Schematic: Creating a clear and safe wiring diagram for all components connected to the Arduino Mega 2560 and the remote control box. Firmware Development: Writing and debugging the Arduino code. This includes: Reading sensor data (analog and digital). Calculating Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR). Implementing a safe startup sequence (20% RPM for fuel solenoid). Developing safety protocols for over-EGT shutdown and low oil pressure indication. Interfacing with the 5" display to show all gauges and readings. Implementing a rheostat-controlled PWM output for the high-pressure fuel pump. Documentation: Providing the complete, open-source code and a detailed wiring schematic.
