My F-18 UFC

[Elnocho3]

Hey all,

 

I’ve gained a lot from looking at other people’s efforts on this forum so I thought I’d share my UFC progress in return. Huge shout-out to the awesome work by the DCS-BIOS guys & gals - had some arduino experience already but it really made it so simple.

 

Anyway, pics include and bill of materials is below. Physical switches makes such a huge difference, especially in VR

 

Rough bill of materials:

Ebay (approx £30):

• Momentary rocker switch (Master mode selector)

• Illuminated toggle switch (master arm)

• Toggle switch (ADF)

• Arduino mega

• 12 mm Square PCB push buttons

• PerfBoard for square push buttons

• 5 x rotary encoders with switch EC11

• 16mm round metal monetary push buttons

• Ribbon jumper cables as connectors

 

Plastic laser cut custom design (£10) from razorlab.co.uk

 

Robotdyn 4 x 3 keypad matrix (£5) from banggood.com

I already had the mounting boxes

 

A really enjoyable project with some more work still to be done
