Mr_Burns Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 With that HUD unit having 7 potentiometers, what is the best control board for all those inputs, pretty sure my GGG only has 2 pots connections.

BB. Posted November 13, 2017 Author Posted November 13, 2017 With that HUD unit having 7 potentiometers, what is the best control board for all those inputs, pretty sure my GGG only has 2 pots connections. I'm not using a potentiometer. All knob switches are using rotary encoders. I used the evaluation board on which PIC18F4553 was installed. But I don't know if it's best. If you want to use more potentiometer, you should use A/D converter. https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=MCP3008-I%2FP BB, I found your tumblr while I was doing some research on youtube.

jrsteensen Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 BB, can you shed some light into what push/pull encoder you used for the channel select knobs on your ICP? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk OpenHornet F/A-18C 1:1 SimPit Website :: DCS Thread Link :: Discord :: Github ::
Mr_Burns Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Are they the two next to the AP and ON OFF buttons? I wondered what they were for couldnt find it NATOPS Wish ED would do a complete system rundown of what controls will be required, the start sequence will be good as was tutorial where WAGS went around the cockpit, but i am not making a replica so I dont want to havemade panels and bought switches that were needed in game, for example, im not going to build a comms panel becuase I only plan to the / menu to contact ATC etc. He mentions a few will be always in the manual selection, so if only have to use them very very rarely I probably not make that panel and use the mouse.

jrsteensen Posted November 18, 2017 Posted November 18, 2017 Burns, yes they are. They are used for enabling channel select and selecting channels for comm 1 & comm 2. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk OpenHornet F/A-18C 1:1 SimPit Website :: DCS Thread Link :: Discord :: Github ::

yipster Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Awesome work! Can you share some info on the CNC machine and machining process for the back-lit acrylic boards? And how did you get those PCB done?
BB. Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Can you share some info on the CNC machine and machining process for the back-lit acrylic boards? And how did you get those PCB done? 1, Milling acrylic boards (Make a panel) 2, Paint 3, Milling paint film (Make a string) By lighting from the back with this it glows only character. PCB is also made with milling machine. konnichiwa

ward8124 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 The thing I have a problem with is how to stick the buttons to those switches as I've got the same switches with backlot LEDs but no idea how to make sure that the buttons which are perspex and engraved don't fall off/come loose.

Denver29 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 How the hell do you make your own 16 segment led screen???? It look's like a mix beetween matrix and segment led! And so tiny ... how do you do that???

Theneduiel Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Great work, BB. Is it possible to share the 3D datas for the buttons? I try to build the UFC and, if it work, maybe more. Which buttons did you use for the numberblock? Can you give us some tips how to program it in DCS? Its my first try to build a contoller for dcs, i just have some experience with a simracing buttonbox and the arcaze board. Thank you, Chris Staffel "Serious Uglies" Abgefahren-Community
Denver29 Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 If I understand well, you take a regular 16 segment display, dismount the face and replace it with a home-made one that look's hornet's display?
