Rockeyes Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) [/url]Looking to start building and would like ideas and recommendations on interfaces. :book: What are you guys using? It would be helpful to know any strengths and weakness of your interfaces.

Gremlin77 Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Hi, I used to have the opencockpit cards. Used them for interfacing with MFS X and this worked quite well because of FSUIPC. But with A-10 I am interfacing now the are a bit "complicated". So, now I just use opencockpit cards for outputs and 7-segment, for input I use the Arcaze card from simplesolutions which behave like normal joystick buttons. So I can simply config the hole stuff in A-10. So more flexibility with oc cards, but much more simple bitch some kind of joystick-adapter. Your decission.... visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I've just received a Leo Bodnar BU0836A controller. I will play with it this summer and will try to make Black Shark panels.

Rockeyes Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Thanks for your inputs so far. I've put links to suggestions etc in the first post. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] HTC Vive Windows 10 Maximus VIII Hero i7-6700k CPU @ 4.2GHz 16GB Nvida GeForce GTX 1080. Ram Duel SSD's
narfnarf Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I've used a BU0836Ato build a trim control and I'm perfectly satisfied. Wiring is simple (if you want to use 12 buttons or less, though a special version for simplified usage of more buttons is available) and it just works (beside the point that I ruined three multi turn potis because I'm stupid (the wiper connector is not necessarily the one in the middle)). Shipping was fast too.

JG14_Smil Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 See if there are breakout cards available for those 40 pin cables. They make wiring a lot easier.

When you say outputs and 7 segments, and inputs what do you mean. I am new to this and I don't fully understand. Do you mean the inputs are more like single momentary joystick button pushes and the others are for switches that stay on or what? I am lost.
metalnwood Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Fred, he means that he is just using more simple joystick interface cards for inputs like switches and for outputs like driving his 7 segment displays like radio freqs etc he uses the open cockpit hardware which supports wiring of the displays and takes care of making sure that they have the correct values on them when you ask them to.
