Engineering
SwitchGlo is designed by Compudraft Engineering, the same engineering firm to provide circuit design for projects within the Space Shuttle, Mars Probe, AH-1Z Cobra Helicopter, B1 Bomber, and numerous other military, commercial, and medical applications. The SwitchGlo circuit has 24 surface mount components including an anti-interference circuit effectively eliminating any and all servo chatter caused by igniting the glow plug. SwitchGlo utilizes a programmable microcontroller enabling a our custom source code to control the glow efficiency as well as control other key features.
