As far as your flow meter goes, if you're going to have a circuit board on it (or somehow attached to it via wires), it would sure be nice if we could plug a bi-polar LED to it so we can see from the front panel if anything goes wrong. without having the case open (I know, it's a shock to know that some folks don't have their case peppered with windows and sitting on their desk, but that's me - grin).
Sounds like a good idea...
but then how low a flow before there is a problem...
now we are going to need something to enable setting the set point as to when it is a good flow...
and to add to the LED idea it would be nice if it was either a 2 color LED, Green for good and red for bad..
or even 3 color led(do they make those?) so that we could have a warning color in
between?
if we want to go realy exotic.. perhaps a bar led to show a range, usefull with people that are cooling more then one machine with a radbox.
