Alex_rcpilot Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Parallel port? That's neat. Except that it takes up so much space. I can't wait to see your results. Great solder job by the way. Yea when I say you gotta quit smoking, I really mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monotwix Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You have some interesting technology here guys. OT Question: what is the function of the brown unit below the monitor in the picture above? I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.

monotwix Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I’ve been thinking of converting my PC tower into a fridge by installing a large CPU refrigeration system so I can store a couple beers locally.

Triggerhappy69 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 LMAO..! I'm visualizing a fortune worth of peltier elements and a fridge to cool the fridge..

Triggerhappy69 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Threw together a temperary attachment for the Z-Axis tonight.. But then while testing the controller card the H-Bridge thingie for the x-axis all off a sudden went "Pooof!" :doh: "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!"

monotwix Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ye I know you can’t put a fridge in a fridge, because when it goes bad it won’t fit in the bin. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggerhappy69 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Panel Building Tutorial I thought I'd make a small tutorial on panelbuilding. I start out with a piece of 8mm Acryllic roughly cut to size Drill the monting holes and shamfer the corners And paint the whole thing White with at least two coates of gloss paint. Then add 4-6 coates off flat Black paint on top of that. And the it's mountesd in the CnC Mill for making the bigger holes. Another round in the CnC Mill cut out the pockets that the text is in. Now these pockets need to be painted white and then black again. Like this: The CnC Mill use a 0,6mm fine endmill ti cut out the lettering so the light shine through the grooves and look nice! and finally the edges are bevelled and some adittionall pint is added. This is the backside before drilling the holes that the Backligh LED's are mounted in: Backlight holes and holes to make room for the mounting nuts. And the result: I'll be updating this post with pics off the "real panel" as it comes along later tonight... Cya! "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!"

After what seems like a mans age of fiddling I finally got the cnc motors running.. I'll try making a video for you..! This means that my Pitbuilding can finally progress forwards again..:thumbup: "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!"

Kuky Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 The idea is really good, only problem for most people is they don't have a CnC machine... No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi Trigger i was just checking out your pannel and is the back flat or are you going to cut a recess for the nut that will secure you switch or rotary switches like real panels? 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.

Triggerhappy69 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 The idea is really good, only problem for most people is they don't have a CnC machine... Well..? I was hoping to show everyone that you can build one real easy if you want..? As far as I have experienced till now, it's really not very complex before you start fiddling with the CAM Software.. And even that is do-able..! Very good work Trigger, you got some great skills :thumbup: See you on Monday :smilewink: Yup mate..! I'm so looking forwards to that..!:thumbup: Hi Trigger i was just checking out your pannel and is the back flat or are you going to cut a recess for the nut that will secure you switch or rotary switches like real panels? Hmmm.. Good point..! I'll have to make a recess for the fastening nut on all the switches. But apart from that it's not quite flat. There are holes that all the Backlight LED sit in. So they shine the light on the inside of the panel.. (that's why I paint first with white, and then flat black) .... I'll make an update on the drawings.. BTW.. I've started working wioth SolidCAM as my G-Code maker.. And it ROCKS..!:thumbup: As you probably see I can set up the pockets, edges holes and islands in Solidworks. And it generates G-code that Mach3 can read and produce parts.. I CAN'T WAYT..! "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!"

Triggerhappy69 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Playing with RL Helis... I was visiting a friend of mine that has the coolest job..! :music_whistling: Guess from the pics what he does? (Edit: Ps. the guy in the pics is ME.. not my lucky friend.. Aaaaaargh!) Me at the EC-135.. GRINNING..!:thumbup: Notice that this EC-120 have no rotorblades..? This is not an early experimental version of a civilian ejectionseat. Just an unfortunate mishap where they forgot to make sure the door was secured while spooling upp the rotor. And guess what..? Now the rotor and the door have met eachother...! The door got away with a busted corner, but three of the rotorblades were broken... Did I hear a now "pro-bono" pilot crying? .... And yes..! I did get to try the EC-120... I must say that although the EC-135 Looks Cooler, and has instrumentation Galore! The '120' just apeal to me.. It looks more mean..! :thumbup: Edited October 20, 2008 by Triggerhappy69 "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!"

Triggerhappy69 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Magnets...! Gotta Love'em? I finally found a way to make the switch lid on my Collective not come off..! This is what it should look like.. I did'nt want screws stickin' out and making it look.... thinking... well.. now that I come to think of it, it would'nt have made much of a difference.. It is after all a russian collective..! made to work well, not look well.! And underneath it's all a bunch of wires to all the switches and stuff! 32 wires in all! So I found some of the Neodyme Magnets I use for my hall Effect sencors. And they are STRONG and small. A bit of measuring and a trip out into the garage to make some spacers from 8mm Acrylic. Drill holes in both ends of the spacer, and make some 3mm threads (gluing acryllic to painted anything is just a really bad idea.. unless you are into frustration?). And the same on the bottom of the lid: And stic'em together: The thing is that this way of attaching lids turned out to work so well that I'm using it wherever I can.. Even on a piece that will be "man-handled" during playing like this one.. 1 "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!"

Triggerhappy69 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Things to come... After the pre-release of the manual for DCS Blackshark I have started finalising the drawings for the panels.. And the pedals (have buildt the foot-pedals already, but I'm not satified with the way they feel)... And the new Left Back Wall with the sliding protections for the Collective Stick..
