Opportunities come from misteaks.

With all the puttin' together and takin' apart I accidentally broke the connector to the Dynon Skyview backup battery. But... in my search for a replacement, a light went off and I thought Hmmm.... if that carries power from a battery to the Skyview, then it should be able to carry more than enough power for a LED. Looks like the OAT sensor uses the same type of connector, and it looks like it would fit in an Oznium 11mm LED sized hole.
 



Yup. Kewl. 



A quick post on the Dynon forum yielded the part number for the OAT sensor connector, a followup call to Mouser yielded the part number for the 3 hole backup battery connector, turns out they're rated for 5A, 600V. Hot stuff, they'll be here Friday, in time for some good weekend work.

 Best part, they're only $0.32 each. Whoo-hoo!!
