  1. Would you be willing to share the file for the trigger and the left grip? Could model the trigger myself, but my CAD skills arent as good as my skill with electronics. I guess for the left grip you could mirror the right one, but if i would want to have the hats there instead of the buttons, its quite the mess to make such a change from an imported mesh in fusion Again, amazing work!
  2. I have been thinking about the way it works with all of the perfboards. Realized that its quite a big workload to solder the perfboards, and there is a big risk of shorts and when the area is this small. Another thing is if i would like to build another of the 2-radio panels (this whole build is created using 4 2-radio panels) that would also be a lot of work. I decided on designing and ordering a PCB. I have some pictures on the WIP here. Mostly happy with what the PCB will accomplish, just need to set the positions of everything correctly, and i have to wire it all up.
  3. Thanks! Interfacing is not through DCS Bios. The thing runs with only the external AWACS mode that SRS has, so it is completely separate from DCS even. The interfacing is done through the UDP-ethernet protocol that SRS has, so i wrote a Java program that just reads the information that SRS sends and then communicates to the Arduino over USB. Im not sure right now if it is possible to do this with the ingame radios (i know that if you have an airplane with virtual radios, like the FC3 planes, you can do it the same way). Im kind of thinking about publishing my (right now very messy) java code to communicate with the arduino and SRS.
  4. Picture of the panel(unfinished): For quite a while i have wanted to build a control panel of some sorts. The more serious planning started about two years ago when i was very into Kerbal Space program, and i started browsing the forum there for people who made their own panels and switch boxes. I never got around to building something for KSP, but i did a lot of planning for it and looked at a lot of different techniques and such. Not too long ago i got access to usage of the laser cutter at my workplace. This really started the thoughts of building something again. I quite recently got into DCS, but i never really considered building panels for it since i am using VR. About one month ago i tried out the AWACS-role on GAW and i really liked it. Then i had the idea that i could try building a panel for all of the radio controls! I managed to design and construct the panel, source the parts i didnt have lying around and right now i am in the process of finishing up the hardware and the software. I am using the UDP-interface that SRS implements to read and control all the radios. The UDP-messages are recieved and parsed by a Java project that i have been writing. The Java program then sends the info to an Arduino over USB (serial). Most of the functionality is done at the moment, i just need to get done with all of the wiring. The paint job is also a bit shoddy, but it doesnt really bother me that much at the moment. Radio panel(unfinished) with some of the components working: For the full album: https://imgur.com/a/YGzcVw9 Dont know if anyone is interested, but this document explains what is connected to what, and what the functionality of some things are: A short video to show some of the function of it: https://streamable.com/s/67xac/uhcubt
