My home mini cockpit by padonis.

The NMSP module is almost ready, waiting for the Arduino Uno :). Of course, the green highlights the subtitles on the panel.

can you show how you make that buttons ? i'm stock in this moment to make UFC ... Did you cut them from Acril ?Show this more detailed PLS

Buttons are made of three bonded layers, 1x colorless plexiglass, 1x colorless plexiglas, 1x laminated engraving. The sides are painted on the gray color of the engraving laminate.

It is not ideal but acceptable.

How do you cut them ? with a CNC ? by hand with a saw/drill ?

а ок , thx ))) i will try to make 1 . What buttons are you using ? Tactile buttons , what size of them ?

can you show all levels of panel ? i decide to use 6mm (colorless plexiglass ) , 3mm white middle and on top 2 mm white

after cutting i will paint TOP in black ? and then engrave

The laser burns the inscriptions in the laminate and then cuts openings and parts. On aluminum I only draw the shape of a laser and then cut the holes manually.

One of the panels for example. Aluminum, spacing frame, milk plexi (diffused backlight), engraved engraving laminate. I use a standard "tact switch", the height I choose for the panel, and the way the backlight.

what about backlight ? how you connect it to arduino ? do you need external power adapter ? show me pls back side with backlight . You cut led strip , and then how you connect parts ?

The backlight of the panel is powered by an external power supply. Arduino controls only the control light.

PS. Sorry for my English, I do not know him well, I'm helping google translator.

Can you show please how you wire all this backlight

this is not my main language 2 :)

Tape pieces are connected by cable and connected to the power supply. ( green led strip 120 x led/m, + to + and - to - )

Here you have a link to the Polish site. http://il2forum.pl/index.php/topic,17561.0.html

ok thx ! can you give me the link on your led strips please .

I bought Polish Allegro, I do not know if it is shipped abroad ( http://allegro.pl/zielona-1m-tasma-120-led-smd-3528-listwa-i5573436761.html )... Maybe ebay, Amazon? Often the price is exorbitant.

First NMSP test :) .

Very nice work on the backlite @padonis :thumbup: Looking good sir

Cheers

Nice !!! Can you show pls what is displays for ILS and TACAN ? and gow you wire them to arduino ?

ILS to landing approach, TACAN to the cursor on the radio lantern (airport, tank). Shows the needle on the HSI.

Connecting to Arduino, I can hardly explain. In principle, it all depends on how you write a batch file to the Arduino. Connect the cables to the appropriate connectors as programmed in the batch file.

Excuse me, but I will not teach you all about the Arduino and DCS-Bios in a few sentences, especially that my English is rather stingy. You can learn everything from the DCS-Bios site. I can always upload my batch file to Arduino.

Can you show displays what are you use for ILS TACAN and EW , i will try to learn all by myself :) just tell me what parts are you using

ILS, TACAN and radio use 7 segment LED displays (common anode).

For EW and CMSC I use lcd 2x16 and 2x20 alphanumeric displays, HD44780 compliant.

Of course, the color and size you choose for your project.

Component test and backlight panel CMSP.

Hi padonis,

I see that most of your panels are contained in a "box" enclosure, see this picture : https://images81.fotosik.pl/249/e55aeb095dba15a8.jpg

I see how to make a panel, but how do you create the box bellow it ? is it also in acrylic plastic ?

Boxes are made of "plastic hips" 2 mm http://www.partwell.com/hips-high-impact-polystyrene-plastic .

Elements are cut very easily. I glue the sides of the box with the gun on the hot glue.

Hi again ! Can you share your scetch for TACAN and ILS display ?

You have the entire Arduino file for this panel, prepared under the Arduino Mega 2560.
