escaner Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Very nice piece of hardware. :) What do you guys plan on using as the LCD displays? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Brun Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Brun, thanks a lot for the obj files! My buddy just helped me out printing it! And I have bought an Arduino starter kit, so I guess I've commited on this now! =) Nice :) The print looks really good quality. If anything the lettering seems to be better than what I got from Shapeways. Do you know what hardware your friend used? Good luck with the rest of the build!

98abaile Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I finally printed mine after making a few edits (fixed some geometry, made the text deeper, combined the top piece with the main piece, separated all the knobs to print them individually). Then I went and checked the prices for the parts that Brun lists in his second post. Wooo boi. I think I'm going to have a look on aliexpress for similar components.

VF31_Subsonic Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 In other news, I have a small addition... I've also just replaced all the encoders (with the exception of the COMM channel selectors) with pots. These are running through a Bodnar BU0836A, so are seen as a separate device. This is useful cos I was running out of inputs on the BBI-64 and now have the HDG and CRS switches to connect, plus the Tornado landing gear handle I'd got hold of. Really pleased with the pots even tho they were cheapo Amazon jobbies. Feeling is great and they're pretty much perfect 1:1 rotation with the in-game ones. It's funny how I keep reaching for other stuff in the cockpit now, before realising I need the mouse. Might do the master arm panel next since it's relatively simple and pretty important. Hey Brun...nice work. Can you please link the pots you used to replace the encoders. pricing all this out to see if I want to tackle it. Thanks man!! VF-31 Tomcatters http://www.csg-1.com/ | Discord

Definitely better than the encoders. Seeing that image has also reminded me that I still need to make the HDG/CRS panel available to download/print. Apologies to anyone who's been waiting for ages, I'll make an effort to get it sorted this weekend.

Vikhrs Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I ordered the same square push buttons as linked, but ended up hating them.

Very interesting. How much easier are they to push compared to the other square ones (are they easier to press)?

Vikhrs Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Very interesting. How much easier are they to push compared to the other square ones (are they easier to press)? They are much easier to press than the other ones, but still have a comfortable amount of resistance to them, and a very smooth action. If I had to compare them to something, it would be to a mechanical keyboard, such as a razer blackwidow.

Lobinjaevel Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Why didn't you like the original one? Is there a noticable click or are they just push and no tactile feel when you actually click it?
Brun Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Think I acknowledged I didn't like the square push buttons shortly after I bought them. They're unnecessarily firm (for this application at least) and there's no tactile confirmation of when you've actually pressed them. It's annoying because they're the same manufacturer as (and have an almost identical product code to) the round switches which are fine. The round ones were slightly cheaper as well. Good to know a much better alternative exists, but I'm not sure even I can justify the £120 to replace all 20 of them.
