TheMoose Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) I see many threads and very nice cockpit in here, however, seeing lots of them that has so many wires, gages and switches. Besides the obvious hardware that are USB, 3rd party products that has drivers. I’m curious, how to you all hook this up to your PC? Surely, not with only with 1 USB? Sorry for my ignorance… But how do you make it all work? How do you install switches on a board, gages and make it talk to the PC? Building the pit, ok, if you have the tools, good with wood and all, however, my curiosity are for the ones that went all the way in installing gages and switches, a real how do I, would be cool, even a sticky on that one would be a bonus.
