  1. Hi Guys.

     

    Been trying to join for last few months applied 3 times but no response.

     

    Please advise on how to gain access.

     

    Thanks

    Been trying to join what? I sent out emails to everyone who made dev team applications yesterday. We dont have any plans available to the public yet.

  2. So the center pedestal was bugging me. Went back and redid it. Added the lower ECS vents (though I didnt have a dimension for how far aft they extend. 1" seems to be the right ratio based on the very very few photos of that area I had.) Also reduced MDF screws by 2/3s.

  3. Finished the Brake/Emergency Handle mechanism and the brake pressure gauge yesterday. Left console is component complete (minus throttle). Going to start working on modeling the PCBs and start dropping the electronics layer in. Goal on the left/right consoles is have them interface to the rest of the pit with a single USB cable and a single power connection.

  4. So been doing a ton of general cleanup and structural work. Still have quite a list on the mechanical side, but definitely progressing. Decided to do some high-res renders today.

    Ready to start work on the seat in earnest, but really lacking solid reference materials. I can extrapolate the major dimensions and control placement, but the rest of the seat may end up having to be fairly cosmetic.

  5. Could you post this kind of description for all the ABSIS variants?

    Would be convenient to know exactly how they differ from e.g. tekkx's boards.

     

    There's only two. The Mega and the Nano. I'll write up some datasheets eventually, but its really rather low on my priority list right now.

     

    See attached for what I've been working on the past couple weeks. It's coming along nicely. :music_whistling:

  6. What does the Nano Gen I/O shield do?

     

     

    The ABSIS (Arduino Based Simulator Interface System) General I/O PCBs are basically a shield for a Arduino Nano/Mega that provides a convinent mounting, easy breakouts for wiring panels, an RS-487 bus, and converts three of the PWM pins to allow the user to select them between 5V and 12V.

  7. This I'd really love to see working! Please put a Youtube vid up of it if you can!:thumbup:

     

     

    I've invited Damien to post up here on it, as he can speak way more intelligently on it than I can. He is away from home for the next couple days, but will post here once he gets home and settled.

  8. Hmm, interesting! :book:

     

    I would have suspected that the main display (HDMI) as well as the AMPCD and the left and right DDI (3x Display Port) would be powered directly by the main graphics card (assuming a 1080ti).

     

    What software are you going to use to get the graphics to the Rasberry Pis?

     

     

    Cheers

    DSP

     

     

    Primary display will be directly powered by the GPU. Our recent software engineer addition to the OH team (Damien22) has been coding up something to stream the outputs to the DDIs, AMPCD, RWR/SARI, and IFEI. It shows real promise and will only require creating a single virtual display adapter on the host PC. Preliminary testing shows almost no stutter, and only a tiny CPU overhead on the host PC.

  9. Unfortunately, no pictures at this point. Didnt make it that far.

     

    I've been working on the system architecture for this a little to illustrate the electronics stack. Feel free to comment with any questions on it!

     

    On the structures side, left and right consoles are virtually done, lower instrument panel is 95% and about to start work on the upper instrument panel and the seat. None will be build ready yet, as waiting until I get a few odds and ends (component-wise) 100% so I can fit check everything in CAD.System_Architecture_-_Top_Level.thumb.jpeg.c2bddd4b4409341b6e0fb3dec75255b5.jpegSystem_Architecture_-_Center_Console.thumb.jpeg.2ed118415b1f63975105ed6ee979aea6.jpeg

  10. Looking seriously impressive guys. How did the prototypeing of the interface pcbs go?
    We decided the 0603 components were going to be just too small for most people to comfortably hand solder, so we are redesigning with larger components.
