Gadroc Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well finally doing some work on the pit again. I finally got all the parts necessary to get my ADI working so this weekend I'm working on it. I got all the pin outs figured out and measured necessary current / resistance to drive the needles. All of the needles work perfectly fine from the micro controller. I was able to design and print up the bayonet adapter for my static inverter using the excess pins I have. So I can get my it wired up and test the ball on the ADI next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadroc Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Back in the sadle again. Finally finished the control board for the ADI. Here it is running a test sketch with the real wiring harness and control board. Tomorrow I'll get the firmware connected to helios. I need to finish wiring the power supplies and DTS boards tomorrow as well and I should have spinning ball as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Burns Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 How do you drive the gimball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadroc Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 The gimball is driven by synchro motors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchro). There are two in the ADI one for roll and another for pitch. I will be driving them using Brydling's Digtial-to-Syncrho(DTS) Boards (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=112902).

Gadroc Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Woo! Got all the wiring done for the ADI using Brydling's DTS cards. I also finished the code integration which allows Helios to drive them. Here is a quick (and bad) video of the ADI being controlled via push buttons in Helios. I have one more part to pick up (MOSFET to drive lighting) and then I'll be able to move it back into the pit fully functional!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhog Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 That excellent work Gadroc. I LIKE it. :thumbup: I'm still working on mine. As a matter of fact its actually on the bench as I write this. I'm not sure if I mentioned it but, I took a different approach using stepper motors so we will see how that works out. I am hoping to integrate my HSI into the cockpit without having to retrofit it with my own drive system. I would really prefer to leave it intact if at all possible. I assume you are planning to do the same??? I wouldn't mind having a chat with you later, when I'm getting closer to preparing the HSI for use. Was the overall cost to drive it that way very much?

lazduc Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Gadroc, Where do you find the 400hz 115v power supply? The only ones I have found are over $1000.00. I have an attitude and direction indicator from a F-4. Do you have any schematics for a 400hz supply. Any information or possible voltage/current/hz to power this type indicator would be most welcome. Thanks, Laz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadroc Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Got some new toys in.... Need to put a hydraulic kit on the pit do drop it down to the rims putting my head in the right position for the screen. Spent this weekend rebuilding the CNC so I can start cutting out the new seat cradle and front panel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadroc Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yep. It's an AVENGER 180 setup. I've done some initial warping config, but need to get the pit recut some my eye point is in the right position. Current pit has the front panel about 3-4" higher than the real thing. That along with dropping about 6-9" from beneath the seat will put my eye point right in the sweet spot for the 180 degree screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator-nz Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I thought that was the setup from New Zealand. I happen to be in New Zealand right now I might check it out. I have to say again nice rig Gadroc !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
