While this is not completely on thread topic, come to think of it this can be made into complete tablet solution (I assume python script can be run pn android or compiled into android executable) - add drawn on screen buttons, asign touch areas and map each back to dcsbios packet senders... Hmm... Super responcive CDU with no need for vieport export running on tablet , mmm. Maybe I'll take on that task :) Ian, how many TCP connections can dcs-bios have at one time?

No need to push any air in. With vent going the machine compartment will be under lower pressure and there will be plenty of air going in through all the cracks and crevices. That low pressure inside will prevent any vapor to escape. As far as fan. 300m3/h is 5m3 per min, which translates to 175CFM. Totally unacceptable, and thats before any flow restrictions are factored in (the stock exhaust slot is very restricting). I tried several solutions and I don't see how anything below 600cfm (17m3/min) can be sufficient. If you going to filter the exhaust (and I think you should to insure neighbors don't conplain.) You will want even more then that. ADD: Post 18 in this thread.on picture, the white column to the right of the machine is my air scrubbing solution. Contains paper prefilter stage followed by 14x23" box with 6" inch high carbon granules pile through which the air is drawn. The blower fan is variable 5 speed whole house HVAC unit (1200~1500cfm before restrictions) , after trying several speeds I stuck it on the highest one. Still I would give it some time after laser job is finished to evacuate the dirty air before I open the lid. Can't have to much cfm

And thats pretty much my beef with all the 3dprint hype. Yes, those machines present possibilities and can be very useful. But it bothers me a lot that to many people are the under impression that those machines produce finished parts. 3d printers (at least the ply ones) produce frozen pizza. Yes it is a product, but in order to be of any use pizza needs to go to oven first.

Rico. For some strange reason the pictures of your build that you surely attached to your post are not showing up. I mean , you wouldn't be posting stuff like that without pictures, right? ;)

Из личных наблюдений - мой сервер живёт уже не первую зиму в неотапливаемом гараже (2500К, хост виртуальных машин + домашние файлы). Зима тут довольно колючая. При комнатной (гаражной) температуре -15С-20С перебоев и провалов производительности замечено не было. Твоя идея что у процессора нормальная рабочая температура непременно должна быть в пределах 60-80С мне кажется мягко говоря странной .

So sad to see this, best of luck with your sale

Nope . Standard dimention CMSP has the " next " and "rtn" buttons side by side not above each other, so technically you didn't fit it ;) Not that I mind though, I can see making those kind of compromises .

I though you said you are not going to over clock. In that case I don't see why bother with aftermarket cooling at all , let alone liquid when all voltages are stock. Even stock cooler will keep the CPU below the thermal throttling point. You will see exactly same CPU preformance whether it's at 60degrees , or 50, or 49.7C. I can see getting better cooler just for the sake of getting it, or for looks, I also can get suckered happily into buying useless gizmos. There will be no difference however. RAM however I agree on. It was demonstrated before that DCS can feel better at 16Gb.

I believe that the 3.5" i used in my RPi CDU attempt is really good fit. its a cheap rear view monitor with composite only input.

Setting hardware is not very hard: get the water hoses, pump connected and in bucket of water , exhaust fan ducted outside. Verify power output from your tube, then Verify beam alignment and adjust as needed. As for software it took me one evening of frustration to realize I will not be working with the stock "Moshi" solution (changed over to thunderlaser DSP) so I can't help with that. not sure if there was any change with stock electronic package since 2 years ago, but back then the requirement was nothing newer the winXP for OS . I never managed to get Corel plugin to work as IIRC it also required some old version of it as well. Moshi software should be enough to produce couple parts to verify squareness however.

Well, I don't have anything against adding additional comfort functionality to own pit. I really like that visor for hydro gauges, John. ADD: And I really like that 1-2-3 block :) I received severa as gift recently, can't believe how useful those little things can be at a times

So how is the story with the seller progresses Weeb? "Milling" recesses for mounting nuts in 6mm acryl sheet with laser , it actually worked quite well. While finish is poor it is not critical in this particular instance (the smooth white behind is a sheet of lasermark)

GJ Tore, quite a pace you moving at. Your altimeter looks much better now John. Makes me want to do mechanical gauges as well. Did you animate the "off" flag with a solenoid? It looks like you have a sliding cover there.

First of all good job, it is indeed very useful endeavor you took on, many thanks for your efforts. Its awesome that autodesk has the student license program going. I downloaded Inventor, killed an hour+ on tutorial, was able to open your file, put a ruller to it and compare to my cad work. As far as CDU, I never held a real one nor seen actual drawings. 11mm buttons is the size I'm making my in (11mm opening, button itself 0.5mm less). Minor Question as far screen cover however - there might have been dif versions but the pictures I seen screen protector is a flat transparent piece (probably of something very impact resistive), not a frame like drawn.

3. FUEL panel. built here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1631521&postcount=67 i had the lever mechanizm somewhere but can't find this one is not proto sized either as it was intended to be used with TMWH bare (linecheck button stays), backlit panel - 25$ due to some minor, near invisible scuffing scuffing. shipping extra. if i find the leverbracket i'll drop it in Lit backside. 2 LEDS already insalled but need to be slodered in next to TMWH throttle

2. SAS Panel. built here : http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1630169&postcount=50 it is not prototypically sized (165mm wide), was designed to fit in my previous flight station with rails going around the TMWH throttle. . bare backlit panel with no switches - 30$ (will leave indication and reset button, can leave the pot and the middle momentary switch) Panel: with relation to throttle:

Hi Guys, doing some spring cleaning. i'm changing direction as far as my pit, and up for offer are items that i will no longer need. I think someone can definitely put these to use. all those items are sold at cost. 1. my MIP, not yet finished. includes: * acer 23" 1080p screen with matching plexi insert to fit within bezel. - 100 $ (similar to used screens on your local CL). if you sure the inser will fit your monitor good i can keep the monitor * plexi insert with Thrust Master MFDs mounted + guide channes and 2 3pos rotay switches. MFDs 75$ (what i'll pay to get me new set), plexi sheet 10$, switches 20$ * instrument bezels as show, with pots and rotary encoders mounted and prewired -40$ * AHCP panel with the locking NKK switches, with backlight installed. panel 30$, switches 100$ for locking ones, 10$ for the ordinary ones. (if you'd like i can keep the NKK's) * EMI cover - 15$ total price with switches and screen 400$ , gets quite heavy and bulky, guess shipping would be around 25 mark. helios profile on screen (al though without rest of the bezels ): http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1636910&postcount=78 pictures: all items laid out (blue protective film not yet removed from sheet). welcro can be used to keep the insert from falling off they are not yet attached from behind. contacts of AHCP switches are ground off a bit for a flush fit. solder hose from the side AHCP lit with 12V (you can use the PSU 12v rail of your PC if you careful. no resistors needed)

its almost 3am and I so happened to be working in CAD on a CMSP draft at the moment. opened ebay, pulled dimensions, and what can i say, it indeed took you some creativity with those button flanges on right. John, GJ! :thumbup: but now i'm going to pick on you a bit - whats with the upper left mounting hole riding up? :P and the panel itself seems to be 0.375" higher then the original . how dare you! ;) :)

20x2 indeed does look more comfy then 16x2 since the text is not crammed. Unfortunately 20x2 will not fit the panel if you sticking to prototypical width of 5.75".

Good overall work lynx. But I just can't help it, i feel disgusted every time I see unfinished 3d printed parts. Sand them, or paint with filling paint , or do so something. It can't stay like this.

Magnetic switches indeed cost a fortune. I went with circuit breakers, low amp rated and that look like regular toggle. In order to trip rhe switch high current circuit is closed via darlington transistor cascade. Those breakers are also not very cheap though http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1630169&postcount=50 Guss, the ET switches are in my ebay searchlist I haven't seen them for less then triple digit price

Looks good. As I see it the light housings are just a decoration - if anything light from there will not be visible or subtly color distort the onscreen image. Those onscreen gauges are "naturally backlit". But its those little decorations (together with demi screws etc) that bring things to life. I did make something similar for my onscreen EMI bezel.

not sure why you used the word "obstacle" then. and as far as material i thought you going with some sort of special resin that offers better mechanical properties then usual 3dprint materials. did it happen that autodesk opened the recipe of that exact resin?

You are over thinking it doveman. Good backlit panel is not very hard to make. There were several designs , including mil spec based ones that were shown on this board. And I think the mil standard documenr itself was also posted somewhere here before.

While i can definetly understand the need for speedy production, I though you already had the material figured out, no? As for carbon3d ( I assume that's what you referring to) it indeed looks impressive, but are they starting sales in foreseeable future?
