Hello,


I am currently developing cockpits to be able to fly VR with the positioning of the controls at real scale.
I have chosen for the moment 2 aircraft, the F16 and the F5.
I wish to use only microswitches and a few potentiometers to operate my panels with the idea of optimizing the cost and the space taken by the whole.


The whole unit is driven by Arduino, entirely realizable with a 3D printer and with the minimum of soldering. There is no PCB to make, a system based on 3D printing and self-adhesive copper tracks allows to quickly and easily make the different instruments.
The first one to be built and functional is the ICP of the F-16, here are pictures of the finished product, which costs less than 20 dollars for the ICP without the HUD case.

Everything will be explained to obtain the files without obligation to purchase.

 

Regards.

Less than $20 vs. almost $400 for the Viper Gear ICP? Is the engraving that $$$?

I don't know, but with 3D printer and a little work, you have a functionnal ICP 😉

Engraving is not the only difference...

Of course, it is not the same finish, it is an alternative for those who want to be able to equip themselves at a lower cost. As I fly in VR, this is enough for my needs. 😉
