brydling Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Nice caution panel! I think that's the first panel I will make, because it looks good and involves some programming :-) How will you control the lights?

linden Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Im gonna use the Phidgets LED-64 Advanced LED Controller, http://clcsystems.nordicshops.com/product.html?product_id=149
brydling Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 That was a very expensive one. Isn't there some cheaper alternative out there? Looks like this one has features that you won't need.

Panthro Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 :thumbup: Nice work :thumbup: I've always wondered if the SAS Yaw and pitch switches can physically switch themselfs off like they doo in the game.....still wonder why this happens.:huh: [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC]
hawk2495 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 My guess would be that the SAS switches are magnetically held. When a certain situation arises, the magnets are released switching them back to the off setting. Why is the rum always gone!?!?!?!
Gadroc Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 That is correct hawk. Unfortunately I can't find any exports in dcs to tell you the state of the magnet. The anti-skid and anti-collision beacon switches also work this way.
Deadman Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Don't forget the Enhanced Attitude Control (EAC) switch as well. @ Gadroc did you get the specs in the e Mail? https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Duckling Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Linden. looking great (ofcouse :-) A quiz: from the setup you made. What is the height from floor to topside of the "panels" mount ? (mao. från golvet upp till toppen av "plattan" där panelarna ska på ?. Grunnar på att använda enbart "ytterhöljet" att kapsla in mitt befintliga bygge) /gus - - - -
linden Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks Duckling.. Here is a picture, from the ground to the top of the rails its 523mm. Edited November 27, 2012 by linden
Duckling Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks Linden. Incredible fast reply I'm 70 mm to "low" in my rig but on the other hand, there is space to grow, hehe - - - -

y2kiah Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks Linden. Incredible fast reply I'm 70 mm to "low" in my rig but on the other hand, there is space to grow, hehe don't forget there is a floor of my design that he has not built yet. The distance from the pit floor to panel rails by design is 14.125 inches (35.88 cm).
Duckling Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks for clarifing y2kiah. I checking for options to enclose my rig in the future. Both for the look and feel, also in a way to protect the panels. Currently I "step inside" and a misstake might end up crack the panels while enter the Pit. When the seat is added, the danger is worse. Building a shell both light and sturdy enough with a short ladder onto it will be a nice looking insurance. - - - -
linden Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) A little progress, skin is done and rails are in place!! Edited November 27, 2012 by linden
