I'm listing some panels on ebay, maybe someone here is interested https://www.ebay.com/itm/163273833946 https://www.ebay.com/itm/163273830204 https://www.ebay.com/itm/163273826037 https://www.ebay.com/itm/163274517582

When you're wiring, it's better to tie wires togerther in a loom. Check my tutorial here: http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php/topic,2948.0.html

These parts are soldered on the other side of the pcb, what's solderless about that?

I think you 'll loose more time troubleshooting loose connections on cheap breadboards than it would take you to learn how to solder. Not much to it really...

0:51 is that an aircraft carrier on the ground?

I think MS33558 is for gauges. For panels I've found Futura Condensed or TradeGothicNo.18-Condensed to be closer, at least for the F-16 panels.

I'm searching for a solution for the F-16 TQS RDR Cursor stick, which is actually the same thing. I have an original F-16 TQS but I'll put it up for sale soon, so I want to mod my Cougar

Ah, ok. From my work PC I couldn't see the photo on post #5, I was talking about #8. Alpanumeric displays are not very expencive, though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seimens-Pdsp-1881-8-Character-4-70mm-5x7-Yellow-Alphanumeric-LED-Display-/281082370149?hash=item4171d09865:m:mg5-dHX_bYw-CHqDiOlJ2MA

Interesting! Did you quote them for a price or MOQ?

Isn't the CMSP the same as the F-16 EW?

One is AutoHotkey, I'm still searching for the other. It would be better to start a new thread for your questions though, instead of cluttering this one...

Real panels are 146,05mm wide, that display is 96mm wide.

Cool! Not really hard to make if I could find the right shaped gauge...

Ah, ok. I see you mean a momentary switch. I'm not familiar with the Arduino HID controller, but I guess it's similar to Leo Bodnar's BU0836A. When you use a momentary switch, in Windows game controlers screen you can see a button turn on. You let go of the switch and it goes off. In some controllers (I use PHCC) you can specify a command when an input is On, and a different command when it goes Off. In BU0836 (And I guess Arduino HID, since you're having that problem) you can't do that. You can, however, use software to do that. I've go to look in my bookmarks, but I remember at least two apps where you could write a scrip that e.g. sends a keyboard command when a joystick button goes on and a different when it goes off.

The strain gauges are the tape-like things glued on the shaft, right?

I think you got the definition of "toggle" wrong. It has nothing to do with sending a pulse.

On the real UHF panel, the tab at lower right (under the "UHF" legend) isn't as thick as the whole panel. It's about 1/3 of the thickness. I had a real panel but this part was broken off. See here: http://www.candyparty.com/ST/cockpit/viper2/348_UHF.jpg

And it's not backlit

Even older thread now, I know, but in case someone is interested... Well, the whole point with open source is that you can order them or make them yourself. I've etched some boards myself. You can order from a PCB manufacturer or organize a group buy. Also, I can't access this site from work so I don't know if it's still on, but I've bought parts from it. Oh, and hello everybody :thumbup:
