Pogo Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I am still researching what I'll need to do to build an A-10 cockpit and I came across an interesting option for building my own I/O boards These links may be of interest to the more adventurous cockpit builders out there. They refer to the open source PHCC (PIC HomeCockpit Controller) project to build cockpit I/O boards using the PIC Micro Controller. The RS-232 Interface version of the boards http://phcc.varxec.net/wiki/Introduction The USB interface version of the boards http://uphcc.varxec.net/wiki/Main_Page Some Interfacing Software, mostly falcon-centric, but there is a very interesting test software that talks to the boards for testing Aircore or stepper based instruments, switches, LEDs, etc. http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/lightningstools I've searched the ED forums and found no reference to the links or projects, so I hope that they might prove interesting to some of you.

sweinhart3 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Old thread I know but Im still struggling with this myself. I was really interested in PHCC project but it seems the PCBs arent available anymore. That doesnt leave a whole lot of options. Ive heard some limitations with OpenCockpits but now I think its down to that or epic which is a far more expensive solution. Has anyone else come up with anything else? I want a system that can be expanded the way open cockpits can. Intel i7 990X, 6GB DDR3, Nvidia GTX 470 x2 SLI, Win 7 x64 http://picasaweb.google.com/sweinhart
Nikolas_A Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Even older thread now, I know, but in case someone is interested... Old thread I know but Im still struggling with this myself. I was really interested in PHCC project but it seems the PCBs arent available anymore... Well, the whole point with open source is that you can order them or make them yourself. I've etched some boards myself. You can order from a PCB manufacturer or organize a group buy. Also, I can't access this site from work so I don't know if it's still on, but I've bought parts from it. Oh, and hello everybody :thumbup:
