Elo Posted January 2 Posted January 2 @HagenThat looks incredible! How did you do the the 5 switch row on the display panel? Im planning to modify this type of latching switch row (https://www.ebay.com/itm/185986854410), but if you've found a better way i'd be awesome if you shared it with us.
Biggus Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) @Hagenthat's beautiful! I'm really interested in how you designed your solenoid switches. Could you share how you did it? I've been tinkering with electromagnets but I'm not completely happy with them, I'd love to see your solution. Edited January 2 by Biggus
Hagen Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) Il y a 11 heures, Elo a dit : @HagenCela semble incroyable ! Comment avez-vous réalisé la rangée de 5 interrupteurs sur le panneau d'affichage ? Je prévois de modifier ce type de rangée d'interrupteurs à verrouillage ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/185986854410 ), mais si vous avez trouvé un meilleur moyen, je serais formidable si vous le partagez avec nous. Pour la rangée de 5 commutateurs, j'utilise un commutateur à verrouillage avec cette configuration. Pour un mouvement fluide, le haut du bouton n'est pas fixe. 9 hours ago, Biggus said: @HagenC'est beau! Je suis vraiment intéressé par la façon dont vous avez conçu vos commutateurs à solénoïde. Pourriez-vous partager comment vous l'avez fait ? J'ai bricolé avec des électroaimants mais je n'en suis pas complètement satisfait, j'aimerais voir votre solution. For the solenoid I was inspired by: https://giovannimedici.wordpress.com/2021/06/13/low-cost-magnetic-held-switch/ I redid the design to fit my assembly Edited January 3 by Hagen 3 2
AusMumbles Posted January 3 Posted January 3 @Hagen, Love your work mate, welcome to the nut house of Turkey pit builders. 2x questions for you. 1. Can you post the 5 row switch you used? I think @LASoonerused the generic stuff on ebay but it was too short. 2. If you are up to it, could you please post a copy of the 3d model here, it would be greatly appreciated when you are happy with them. Keep up the good work.
Hagen Posted January 3 Posted January 3 @AusMumbles Here is the link on aliexpress, but it should be the same: Aliexpress The 5 row switch is indeed smaller, that's why I modeled hats that compensate for this offset. I will publish the files as soon as this is finalized. 3 3

I can the offsets under the switches in the model now that you pointed it out. For anyone that wants a pre-fabricated solenoid switch, Im just about to purchase some 2 and 3 Pos Magnetically Held Switches from Flitepal. I'll let you know what I think when I get them. https://flitepal.cm/ 2
AusMumbles Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) Heya Gents, Quick update from me. My HSD is fully functional using an Arduino Leonardo. The ACM Panel housing and acrylic came up really well with my custom Korry Switches from 737DIY Sim. (They are excellent parts). I'm just tinkering with the VDI before I release the lot. I'm not happy with the left and right indicator housing and wire routing holes on my current design. Cheers, Mumbles Edited January 11 by AusMumbles 5 3
Hagen Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) Hello, Here is a video of the final 5 switch row. I will post the files soon A+ Commutateur X5.mp4 Edited January 12 by Hagen 7 2

Hagen Posted January 12 Posted January 12 10 minutes ago, BULLITT83 said: ÉNORME!!!! quel est l'espace entre chaque bouton s'il vous plaît ? de centre à centre ? The space between the buttons from center to center is 18 mm 1
BULLITT83 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) @hagen do you think it is possible If I modify a little bit your « hats » to obtain a little bit more space between button ? Like 22 mm ? If yes do you agree to share your sketchup ou 3D fusion file so I can modify it . I do not ask you to do it. I will. Edited January 13 by BULLITT83
Hagen Posted January 13 Posted January 13 @BULLITT83 For the 18mm of the row of 5 switches, I based myself on a photo in this topic, but you can modify it.
Hagen Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Hello, Here are the files for the row of 5 switches. The drilling for the panel must be 14 mm, for the backplate I put a side drawing. The screw for the top of the button allows rotation when pressed There is an exploded view photo for assembly. @BULLITT83 I will send you the file shortly. A+ row of 5 switches.rar 1 2
Hagen Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Small precision, so that the button does not unscrew when pressing, I use Loctite 271 thread lock. 4
BULLITT83 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 (edited) hi guys ! i like to share with you also what i've done i'm almost sure that all of you have done it , even better than me , but here is my "wheel " to control cockpit temperature and lighting system. 473073487_8984741991581509_1729866004211133571_n.mp4 And here are the STL , the wheel 1 is the one you have on the video, the wheel 2 is a modified one with more deeper "edges" , so you can choose , but i prefer the second one. i use some M3 screw with Flat head screw to do not interfer with the wheel. supportpotB v4.stl roue v11.stl roue2 v1.stl supportpot v5.stl Edited January 14 by BULLITT83 4 2
ITR1102 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 I’m really enjoying seeing the progress everyone is making. I hadn’t touched mine in several months and all the recent posts inspired me to get back to work. I tested out the throttle quadrant and have all buttons working connected to my Leo Bodnar BBI-64, but found that it doesn’t support potentiometers so will need to use a pro micro for the pots.I’ve resumed design and 3D printing of control panels, focusing on the left side first. I do have a question about the side panels since I have not yet committed to doing a full cockpit- at what angle are the side panels in relation to the floor?
BULLITT83 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 HI ITR1102 n i can told you that tomorrow , i will mesure my angle on my structure. I've a question for you : you build the throttle from the 3D cult ? don't you find some problem with some gears ? scale issue ? I print gears , but before i start to build it , it look like some gears are not at the good scale ? and some parts are missing looking at the folder i find on thingiverse . what is the best source to download all parts ?

I was able to download everything off of either Cults3D or Thingiverse and there may have been a part or two sourced from attachments in this thread. Another member sent me a modified file for the left throttle handle with a bend to reduce the space between it and the right throttle. I remember crudely modifying a couple of files to allow the use of a momentary slide switch for the speed brake. I still have all the files I used but will admit it’s not organized well on my computer.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Elo Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Well gentlemen, its official. Looks like well be modifying our cockpit plans, at least a bit. Except of course for @AusMumbles, who in his wisdom already did so. Looking forward to it! 6
BULLITT83 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I was going to send it also … that s not a D model .. what’s that ? Where are the weapons controls since the wcp dissepear ? Someone have pictures of an F14 cockpit with this avionic ?
