go check with DCS-BIOS, it's Arduino-based.

Layout inspired by the F16 Block 60(or 70?) from UAE/Turkey Version. Display is 25664 OLED and common 6x6 LED tactile, panels are laser cut matt acrylic. Buttons/wheels are SLA 3D prints, painted and CNC engraved. At least it can cover F16, FA18, AV8B. and maybe more modules if i have time to code for the OLED display. Also a dedicated DED as a side product, can used for display different data/graph. Likely make it for IFEI(text only) or F14 engine gauges(Graph)? babysitter husband means very slow WIP.....

Shift reg is the best, precise, no shadow, simultaneous press, easy coding, easy expanding by chain... Beside VCC/GND, only 3 wires for CLK/DAT/CS, and they can be shared in some design, save a lot of MCU pins. For PCB drawing, you can try KiCad, it's free and not bad.

Just found the input command and definition are not match. As sample, the RPM control for pilot. It'd defined as Button_15 in "Clickabledata.lua". But assigned with Button_19 in Input Default.lua. Hence, the actual key binding to keyboard/joystick will not work correctly. After change from Button_19 to Button_15, it works as it should be.

Any of 60 hawk variant i will accept!! make it and take my money !!!

Thanks for your prompt respond for this!

Can this tool extract MFCD screens without setting up viewports in monitor config files?

Since it's not easy to find any 5by5 display, no matter CRT or LCD, just fit it with the display device you have...... For my case, i fit it with a 8 inch 4:3 display panel.

Seeking help for how to change the output value from original object triggervalue. For example. a 3 way toggle in HELIOS return 0/0.5/1. C54,3001,1.0 C54,3001,0.5 C54,3001,0.0 But F/A-18C Dispenser Switch position is 0/0.1/0.2 like below C54,3001,0 C54,3001,0.1 C54,3001,0.2 How to modify it from Helios Profile? Thanks.

I2C can use Address to differential the units, you may check the datasheet of PCF8574 or maybe the silk of the PCB of your LCD. OLED usually comes with I2C or SPI, I2C using address as well, and most of time there are pads on the Circuit board to let you choose. SPI will be much simple, each device has it's own CS(SS) pin, and share the rest of CLK/MISO/MOSI pins.

Some other pictures showing those buttons are not 100% aligned. Especially the lower part of MFD. https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/jf-17-thunder-cockpit-and-analog-machine-photos.81603/

Yes, i made my own PCB to minimize the thickness.

https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=tactile+switch+with+LED try from here, just find one you feels good and ask them to provide the CAP together. CAP can be with different symbol. Like an Arrorw or power, just the usual things you may seen somewhere in your daily life. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32916434114.html

There is no way to get a 5 inch 1:1 square panels with acceptable price. I found a factory in China can made that, but the floor volume is 500pcs... and still sky high. I m actually running a 8 inch 4:3 IPS panel and do the cover job. the buttons just usual tactile switches with LED which is very easy to get in China(with Aliexpress).

This is a custom made MFD/DDI for those square-like MFD planes. For my small room and desktop which cannot suit with a full size cockpit. USB/HDMI connection, angle adjustable, fold-able. Custom made metal chassis. Button back lit can be adjust by a knob. (I m lazy to write another code to communicate with HID...) Yet, it still VESA10 back mount ready, whish i have my private space in future. In the video, left MFD is a nearly FINISHED one, while the right one is last prototype. Some circuit component with incorrect parameters caused the scan effect under rolling shutter of my OSMO. But actually it's not flashing at all.

After FA-18, the F-14, F-16, JF-17, their MFD all renders like with opacity. I understand this may help to not blocking the panels when getting in "HUD only" mode with single screen. But when it comes to multiple monitors the opacity will cause the MFD dimmed and even not readable. And their lines/strokes looks like rendering differently, i tried to keep same exposure between two MFD but it's iphone camera, no parameters to adjust. Refers to the attachment, From top to bottom, F-16, JF-17, FA-18C. Does anyone know notice the MFD rendered different between modules? Or can this be modified to renders like FA-18C and still able getting in multiplayer?

look for MMJOY(Free but certain PCB work required and no maintenance anymore) or EJOY(20 less USD? better function and keep updating)

Thanks for your great work! Regarding the auto binding of Hornet IFEI, which export script you using? I cant find nozzle info from current Captain Z's hornet profile.

I was lazy at that point, so i only create the 18 UFC. One of the down side of touch screen is lack of muscle feed back. Geeks love the clicks of toggle/buttons. :megalol:

Exactly IKARUS. The model I used is TJC1060X570_011C from China, the reasonable price with 7 inch IPS panel. I have some similar model with TN panel which the view angle totally not acceptable. The programming of screen is varies from vendors, it's communicating by UART command, hence you need some windows coding skills to receive DCS Exported data and translate it to UART.

It's not a windows program. It's a HMI touch screen from industrial usage. Interactive interface need pre-programmed in the device, and accept commands/send responding.

It’s the built in program interface from the vendor of HMI SCREEN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really looking forward for the F-14 export!

I am developing my simpits based on CAN network. And because i don't have sufficient(free) room for a 1:1 pit, i have to make them flexible and space friendly. Here is my first try, build the UFC with a HMI screen. Due to the high resolution of this 7 Inch IPS panel, the refresh rate is a little bit slow, but still acceptable. First time posting a youtbue video, not sure whether it works or not.

THis is awesome!! Great help for leaving the calculator.
