Fire Panel PCB finished. Files uploaded to the google drive in the first post.

for those wanting a TEDAC someone already beat me to the punch https://srsosio.wixsite.com/ah-64d-tedac

Hello everyone, I have finished modelling the EUFD, including buttons, PCBs, Arduino code, etc. All files are in the google drive in the first post. The screen I will be using is in this link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007231882058.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.48.18821802OYCv1z I have also included a lua file to export the screens for the MFDs, TEDAC and EUFD.

Awesome job!

Bit more progress. I have done an Arduino Mega shield to connect all the panels on the Left Console together. I have also updated the PCBs to correct a couple of errors and added a Google Drive link in the first post to access all files to keep it all tidy. null

PCBs for the Lighting, Stores, ignition, Emergency anullnd Night Vision panels done.nullnullnullnullnullnullnullnull

really nice

EUFD modified to mount 6x6 tactile LEDs and included all buttons and engravings.null

PCB design for comms panel done. nullnull

PCBs designs underway. This one is for the Comms panel.

These knobs for the Comms panel look exceptional: https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/ah-64-pilots-lighting-panel-knobs and this throttle looks like very well the effort: https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/apache-ah64-throttle-panel

A bit more progress with the Fire Control panel. The Arduino code is programmed to work on both stations (pilot and CPG). For the annunciator buttons across the cockpit I'm using these: https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/heli-ah-64-master-caution-warning-annunciators https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/ah64-apache-apu-korry-indicator-switch https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/737-master-caution-fire-warning-stab-out-of-trim-annunicators-cad-1 https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/master-caution-fire-warning-stab-out-of-trim-annunciator https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/737-mcp-korry-cad-stl https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/dual-colour-korry-replica-pcb Need to do testing when they arrive but they look really good. nullEUFD panel also done For the EUFD Screen I'm using a 6.2 inch LCD screen: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005007231882058.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.47.2bb6194d8f4m1o&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp

Many thanks for your suggestion.

right now I have a single pot wired on a breadboard. null From what I'm hearing in discord, it seems that the problem will go away when I wire the rest of the pots. I'm waiting for my pots to arrive in the mail. I'll try it when I do.

Armament and Video panels arduino code done

Figured out the coding problem it has to do with a problem with the adresses.h file on DCS-BIOS. I have successfully compiled the arduino program with direct reference to addresses and masks instead of the new constants until that problem is resolved. in the meantime v.5 of the program has been tested and works fine in the sim.

Well I am. But still…. Need to figure this one out or it will eat me alive

Hello everyone. I started a thread about my project in the Ah-64D channel before I found out about this one. if anyone can help me trouble shoot the problem I have with the Arduino coding it will be much appreciated. many thanks

I have also written Arduino code (again learining from scratch and following A Hornets Nest Tutorials), using an Arduino Mega, but this is where I have run into trouble. My code when it comes to buttons switches and potentiometers compiles and uploads successfully and buttons and switches work as expected in the Sim. However when it comes to potentiometers for some reason I have not been able to figure out, turning the knob for one controls turns every single knob coded in the program. Also, I cannot get the damn LED outputs to compile using the DCS BIOS code taken from Bort. I have reviewed the DCS Bios documentation and am at a loss as to what is wrong with the code. I just get the following error message: C:\Users\pablo\Documents\Arduino\PEBTech_AH64D_PilotLeftConsole_V4\PEBTech_AH64D_PilotLeftConsole_V4.ino:170:31: error: 'AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_AM' was not declared in this scope DcsBios::LED pltApuL(AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_AM, apuLed); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C:\Users\pablo\Documents\Arduino\PEBTech_AH64D_PilotLeftConsole_V4\PEBTech_AH64D_PilotLeftConsole_V4.ino:170:31: note: suggested alternative: 'AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_ADDR' DcsBios::LED pltApuL(AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_AM, apuLed); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_ADDR exit status 1 Compilation error: 'AH_64D_PLT_APU_L_AM' was not declared in this scope If any of you DCS BIOS wizkids out there willing to give me a hand I would greatly appreciate any input you can provide to turn this corner. This hobby is exiting, mesmerizing and frustrating all at the same time!

Hello Everyone, I've decided to embark on the wonderfull/nightmareish world of building my own simpit for the Apache. I am no engineer nor do I have any background in electronics computer programming or the like. However, following a few simpole tutorials (mostly from A Hornets Nest, big shoutout btw) I've made quite some nice progress in just a week starting from zero. I had no idea how to use Fusion at all, but am quite happy with these results. For anyone who would like to use these files I'm uploading them here. The left console has been modified to be mounted on a Winwing Super Taurus throttle and from my understanding it should also fit the newer Orion2 Throttle base. Final versions of the Arduino code and any revisions to the panels will be posted here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17dTPCMDNkJ6jepkpSN8ijeW4TCJM2Hyt?usp=drive_link

hello, I'm having the same problem. cannot get past destruction of the convoy after trying the mission 5 times. Also the briefing calls for laser guided hellfires but the chopper comes loaded with RF Hellfires. I cannot change the loadout. Another problem I'm having is that when shooting an RF Hellfire to the first vehicle in the column the missile always hits behind the truck. it is not going after another vehicle it just lands a few feet from the first truck I'm instructed to take out. I have to wait for the other helicopters to destroy it.

That worked guys, I made a couple of changes, but I finally got it working, Really appreciate your help.

Hello, wondering if you guys could help me. I have downloaded the display export files and programed my lua file as instructed. I cannot get an image to display in my screens. I'm running a 3440x1440 monitor with two 800x600 screens below my main monitor I think my lua file is correct. AH-64D.lua I looked into \Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\MFD\indicator\MFD_plt_right_init.lua I do not see the line "try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD")" Looking at the zip file containing the display export files there us no folder with MFD files. I suspect that may be the problem. I tied adding the lines --ViewportHandling dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua") try_find_assigned_viewport("RIGHT_MFCD") To my MFD_plt_right_init.lua file manually but no success. Any pointers you guys can give me will be much appreciated. Kind regards,

Hello I'm having trouble with DCS getting random crashes all week. I hope anyone can help me troubleshoot. Many thanks dcs.log-20230417-012827.zip

I absolutely want one
