[Electric Boats] wish to build a controller...

 

i have been good with IC pics for quite along time and even have a couple of patents...  i'd like to build my own controller because it seems to me that in general these devices are extremely overpriced 

i'd be interested in what functionality people would like to include in a controller if they could simply choose whatever they wished...  ought to explain a bit more, i wish to build a controller that will completely manage a serial diesel electric propulsion system from A to Z including automated battery charging and well, just everything



i probably understand MOST of the various senor inputs and control outputs that must be provided for and have no problem with any of those but i do have a couple of questions that will probably reveal my extreme ignorance concerning certain functions 

for instance....  How does one control fuel flow to a diesel engine electronically.  I am really interested in the Hatz / Lombardini type engines but think of fuel flow as being mechanically controlled rather than lending itself to electronic control.  I'd love to get ANYONE's input on this question and thanks in advance.
