Here is my KDU (Keyboard Display Unit) for the DCS AH-64D Apache. The project includes files for 3D printing, laser engraving of the button labels, and, of course, the Arduino code. You can switch the display source from Pilot to CP/Gunner by pressing a button. This button is wired to PIN 7. I integrated this function into the push-button of the rotary encoder for the KU Scratchpad Brightness Knob. I engraved the labels with a laser, but I've added another version of the buttons where the labels are raised so they can be printed directly with a 3D printer. I used an Arduino UNO and an SSD1322 OLED display with an SPI interface. now available on GitHub! https://github.com/MilKris666

This is my MPD for the DCS AH-64D Apache. The project includes 3D-printable files, full build guide, optional parts with raised labels or laser engraving support, and of course my code for the Arduino. The total cost to build one MPD is approximately €70 or about $80. If Arduino feels like a complete mystery to you, I also describe an alternative build using a Leobodnar BBI-64 USB game controller board. This option is basically plug & play, but it does increase the cost. now available on GitHub! https://github.com/MilKris666 VIdeo:

That's my F-15E UFC you're selling here. That's really out of line!

there is a temp solution to fix the UFC ghosting bug. go to : DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-15E\Cockpit\UFC\Indicator\UFC_Rear_init.lua find line : try_find_assigned_viewport("UFC") replace by : try_find_assigned_viewport("UFC_rear") Credits to this guy on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/16x8y49/comment/kctay6x/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

looks very good! The malfunctioning UFC export appears to be a bug. I'm optimistic that it will be rectified in the upcoming update
-
@Rainmaker I would recommend starting with a test print for the buttons to see how the fit is. If necessary, you can scale down X and Y until it fits. This also depends on the printer. In my case, the buttons fit perfectly. In this instance, the STL files have already been scaled down by 1%. I'm glad to hear that you're making progress.

@Rainmaker Awesome! I noticed you're using the BBI 64. I just ordered mine as well. Just a heads up, I initially uploaded the wrong 'UFC Display Button,' which caused some interference with the display when pressed. I've since replaced them with the correct ones, 'UFC Display Button v2'.

Added a some "straigt" parts so the UFC can be mounted at a 90-degree angle.

@Rainmaker it's the button matrix. I printed all of them white.

@Vakarian that would be awesome! Please let me know how you are progressing with this.

@Sacarino111 Thank you very much for the praise. I'm familiar with Arduino USB HID, but I haven't had the time to really deep dive into it. Because I'm lazy, I've been using the controllers from Leo Bodnar so far. They support up to 64 inputs, which is usually sufficient. Dealing with the cables can be quite annoying, but fortunately, my girlfriend enjoys soldering.
