Kenpilot Posted April 3, 2024 Posted April 3, 2024 Hey guys, what is everyone using for their A10 CMSC and CMSP displays? I was using these https://www.ebay.com/itm/165013228347 but the one I had up and running is no longer working and I can only find them on ebay from China, and it takes about a month to get them to the US. I was hoping to find something here in the US that I can use that I can get a lot quicker, Amazon would be great. I'm using them with DCS Bios and Arduino. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Windows 10 ASRock Z370 Extreme4 LGA 1151 (300 Series) MOBO intel i7-8700k (Not overclocked) 16 GB Ram EVGA GeForce GTX 108ti SC Black Edition SSD Trackir
agrasyuk Posted April 3, 2024 Posted April 3, 2024 I'd say OLED is the go to. Make sure you build your device with maintenance and replacements in mind because in my experience these OLED screens will burn in and loose brightness quite a bit. If budget is not an issue and you are willing to put work into more complicated device you can go for the original led matrix displays. If you can pull it off you will really like the end result. https://media.fotki.com/2v2aByj2rxUHnUD.jpg Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project

With links to where I can purchase them in the US if possible? I have zero experience with LED matrix displays and it definitely looks like a lot more wiring/work. It looks great though!

Vinc_Vega Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 (edited) How about something like 20x2 LCD display for the CMSP? Btw. here's another "overdressed" work, this time the CMSC panel with LED matrix displays, but still unpainted. For the A-10 the font had to be edited.

ClayM Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 (edited) For the CMSP I used a 20x2 Vacuum Flourescent Display. I believe it was a NewHaven Display from Mouser. I added a green lens due to the display being slightly blue color. Its been running for years and still looks great. I could always pull it apart and get some part numbers if needed.
