overpro Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Design the PCB and build the driver board and soldering the ICs and wires is a really heavy load work, very tedious.:joystick: In order to build the driver board PCB I even purchased a laser printer. But at least it finally works. overpro = I'm not good at Nintendo Mario and always get "Game over" pretty fast, so over~~pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Nice work looks very smooth!!! With the correct indicator faces and some tubes it would be a great set up... :thumbup: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Deadman Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) no it is part of a two inch indicator your instrument panel would have these sorry I don't have a picture handy but the parts basically are from the front back. ring, glass, needle, face plate, mechanic components,Tube, connector and back plate . every thing is contained inside of the tube the front ring holds the glass on the front and the back plate keeps the unit sealed Edited October 23, 2013 by Deadman https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Hansolo Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Very nice Overpro, Looking forward to seeing more info on this project :thumbup: Looks like you have an Arduino with an ethernet shield recieving the positions and send it to the servo/steppers.
