SkyJunky Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Two new pictures after a long time. These two pictures show the state of my left console. All parts were simply put together. The final assembly of all parts takes place later. Building all of the backlight circuit boards is the next step, along with cable management for all of the switches. The parking brake lever and the landing gear lever were completed by me with all functions. The Jetteson Button is from Open Hornet.

War_Pig Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Sky, incredible work! There's no chance you would consider releasing the files for your console panels? I assume you did them yourself, they're beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilour6 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hi, it's me again, all is ok with DCS but i think the fonts size is made for a 128 x 32 oled display, mine is a 256 x 64, so the display is too smal, have you an idea ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJunky Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 That's true. The font is for a 128x32 OLED. I don't know if you can still adjust the size in the code. Back then I made the font so that it fits exactly on this display. If it is not possible to adapt the font in the code, the font would have to be completely redrawn.

But it looks like that stepper does not have a 'reset pin'. How did you manage it to rset the needles before a new startup sequence? Just by coding?

SkyJunky Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 No, this is not an endless stepper. This stepper is going to start position, when it gets power. As soon as he receives values from the DCS, he then drives. Sky´s Simpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilour6 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi, Thank you for your answer about the fonts. Which drivers and library do you use for the steppers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJunky Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 I use the stepper without driver. AccelStepper.h is the library, what is in use. Greetings Sky Sky´s Simpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider432 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) hey all i need help with embedding the UFC font in my code. can someone tell me where to put the file and how to call it? I have tried this now: 1) u8g2_fonts.c opened with notepad++. 2) copied the three lowest fonts (Hornet2-4) to a new file and saved it as hornet_fonts.h in the same folder as the arduino code 3) added #include "hornet_fonts.h" to the beginning of the arduino code 4) added display.setFont(&u8g2_DcsFontHornet2_tf); to the display-text code part when compiling i always get this error message: fatal error: u8g2.h: No such file or directory #include "u8g2.h" ^~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. exit status 1 the u8g2 library is installed. can someone help me to find the error? thanks in advance!

tc93 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Hi al! First of all thank you to everyone who's shared code, designs, videos, tips and experiences in this thread! I'm thinking about reproducing Sky's latest UFC design but with fewer Arduinos, by controlling all OLEDs via one SPI or i²c bus as shown here: Multiple i²c devices on one Arduino (video tutorial) or this Multiple SPI devices on one Arduino (video tutorial) The first step for me was to reproduce running an i²c 128x32 OLED (the only one I currently have) with the custom UFC fonts that were shared earlier in this thread. Since no previous comment included all necessary steps (and because it took me a few hours) I summarized it in this example project printing the custom Hornet UFC fonts using u8g2 on an i²c 128x32 OLED connected to an Arduino Uno: https://github.com/michaelosthege/display-i2c-example I hope this is useful for the next person on this endeavor Edited June 29, 2023 by tc93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJunky Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Hello... after a long time without cockpit building, my project is still alive. My job situation had not give me enough time for build my cockpit. But now it is again in building. I have my before two years started left console now finished. Only the brake pressure gauge is not working, this is build in the future in plan. All switches are wired and connected with my I/O Board. The switches can normal binded in DSC via key binding. The next step is to rebuild the right console. The right console should also be converted to my I/O board for button mapping in DCS. The plan is to just connect all the gauges and the UFC to the DCS BIOS. I hope I can more time spend in the next few month in the build and spend you more picture and news from my cockpit.
