SkyJunky Posted May 30, 2020 Author Posted May 30, 2020 Next Panel finished... The knobs are still missing, they still have to be made. Cheers Sky Sky´s Simpit
longuich Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 I like how you’re going for niiiice as, but not 1on1 realistic. It looks beautiful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Alex_rcpilot Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Thx guys... My current project and the first test. Sky That looks cool. I've got a bunch of synchros I've been wanting to drive with DC supply and modern electronics. Almost finished the schematics when I came across this one gauge whose rotor winding has one end internally connected to a phase line of the stator winding. Not a big deal with old fashing transformers but drives me nuts with inverter bridges.:doh: I've put it aside till I can work out a better feedback circuit.
SkyJunky Posted June 14, 2020 Author Posted June 14, 2020 I am currently revising my already completed and fully functional UFC. It is planned to downsize the prototype and make most of the cables disappear. To implement this, I have to modify the OLED displays to reduce the size. I also make printed circuit boards where 80% of the cables disappear. There is still a long way to go but the first big step has been taken. The first two picture shows the "old" prototyp. Cheers Sky´s Simpit
SkyJunky Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 Hey, the next update of my UFC. The first PCB is delivered and looks pretty good. I soldered all the tactile switches and all the SMD parts. The first light test looks good. All switches are already working properly. Next steps coming soon... Cheers Sky´s Simpit
bnepethomas Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Nice work sir - and thank you very much for sharing the UFC Font file - I"m running down a very similar road to yours.
K-lu Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Hei SkyJunky. You make a lot of really nice work. I had maybee not see, but wich display are you using for the 5 right display? Regards K
amido Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 hello, wonderful work but what kind of screens did you use?
SkyJunky Posted June 29, 2020 Author Posted June 29, 2020 Thank you ... I am using 2.23 inch displays with 128 x 32 pixels for my UFC. But be careful, the displays are too big for the UFC. I modified all displays to fit the UFC. You have to be careful not to destroy the displays. A video or two of them are planned to be made, but the UFC is very complex and it will be a while before I can make the video. For me it is currently more important to push the project forward. Cheers Sky´s Simpit

bnepethomas Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Hello, here my final version of the radat altitude gauge. The next step is the hydr. pessure gauge in the upper right panel. Cheers Sky Really nice work on this - is it a dual stepper with the outer indicator done as a single piece?
SkyJunky Posted June 29, 2020 Author Posted June 29, 2020 Really nice work on this - is it a dual stepper with the outer indicator done as a single piece? I did that with 2 individual stepper. Sky´s Simpit
bnepethomas Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 I did that with 2 individual stepper. Ahh that is clever!

SkyJunky Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 Display function test successful. Next step, integrate all buttons and segment displays. Then, it is being build the rest of the UFC. Sky´s Simpit

RightStuff Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Great build!:thumbup: That looks like a big bunch of hardware.. May you please name a list what was used? Just the relevant electronics like the 2560 and the Nanos - not the nuts and bolts. ;) TIA!
SkyJunky Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Hey, I use: 6 Nanos, 2 Mega2560 8 Max RS485. 6 2.23 inch OLED displays, 2 VBK200 16 segment displays, near 100 resistors 120 Ohms and 10kOhms, 12 LED, 19 tactile switches with LED, 3 rotary resistors, 1 on-off-on switch This is now, but there are still different switches coming.

RightStuff Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Wow.. Thanks for the list. That's a bunch. Hat off to your craftmansship. I'm curious to see what you'll show us next:thumbup:

SkyJunky Posted July 31, 2020 Author Posted July 31, 2020 Next test of the UFC with the segment displays for the channel and all buttons. After a few problems in my RS485/487 network, all works now in the network. BIG BIG Thanks goes to Mr. Hansolo for the help with the problems in my RS485/487 network. Thank you very much for your time and help. Also goes my thanks to my friend and squadron mate Flo. He’s the guy behind the solutions to my code problems. Thank you Flo for your time and help. In the rest of my time, I did the next step for the UFC. The housing, and the missing switches in the UFC will comes in the next step. I hope the short video with this will be added in a short time. Thanks for watching..! Sky´s Simpit
SkyJunky Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 My UFC is as good as done. Only the knobs are missing. But everything is already working completely. Sky´s Simpit
agrasyuk Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 awesome looking device! Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
