Hey Steve,
Do not sell yourself short! Anybody who takes apart HWH hydraulic jacks and replaces O-rings has my respect! What David wants to do is take all the "engine sensors and other chassis sensors" currently installed and combine them into a "network / connect them all together" BUT they will be all connected together with multiple paths to a reporting device so there is redundancy in case a pathway is down / broken". Think VMspec on steroids....... Example, say you want to read the engine temp on a device like computer, pad, phone BUT the normal "path" or how the devices normally gets the info is broken, well the engine temp will have an ALTERNATE path to send its info to the device.............. definitely Star wars stuff!
PS Also if a sensor currently does not exist, he want to use a remote/ portable "sensor", place it near the "trouble area" so one could look at the info on the device (computer, pad, phone) to help diagnose the trouble area / issue.
