showtime817th Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Hello All, I finally order my Shkavl LCD, it’s 8”. I built the hood for it with some aluminum from Home Depot and the outer part is foam I pick up at my local fabric store, they use it to cut fabric or something like that. Any way here’s some new pic’s. Showtime [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Flim Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Very nice, going to be a fun with a cube setup...lol
showtime817th Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks for the good feedback guys, just a few more things to complete and it will be time to fire this thing up. Acemark: The segments are just a photo copy for now, not sure what I will be using to display these numbers. This will be included in the next phase along with maybe a cyclic grip like your :Dand some kind of FFC. Flim, I showed my wife your cub setup to start warming her up to it lol.

JG14_Smil Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Acemark: easiest way to is have clear squares in your PUI-800 panel and display the Helios display for the PUI-800 through those. I can run 7 segment displays, but I believe I would have to do custom coded symbols for the letters. (I'll do it someday). The first method is so much easier. You just create labels in Helios that will show the data. I believe PUI-800 data can be exported to 7-segments though. Show: you gotta try to get lights in the datalinks as soon as you can. Do you just have to add the LED's or will you need clear lenses on your square buttons? Could you show a bit more of how your datalink buttons are put together? Edited January 17, 2013 by JG14_Smil

The switch is a Philmore, http://www.intertexelectronics.com/Philmore-30-14512-Sq-Lighted-Push-Button-SwitchSPST-8A125VOFF-ON--P434.aspx I had these from another project so I thought I would use them. The switch has a little bulb inside that when you the button the light comes on. Not sure if the Phidget can handle bulbs, but I'm thinking I may need to do something like what you have. I know I can mount a switch and led on a board but not sure I can make the square clear buttons to cover them. Showtime [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
acemark Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I will use GLKD3 switches I got last june . Just checked Ebay and still available 50 switches for $35.00 Included shiping and took one mounth delivery. They worked well for modding AS they come apart easy to change led coulor. TOO bad 50 square white leds will cost more than the switches.$1.00 a switch not bad. JG14 Helios can do this ... will need more monitors ... its an idea to ponder. Mark.

BaD CrC Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Totally awesome work Showtime. I definitively want to add this Shkval hood of yours on my pit. Very very nice work. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
showtime817th Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Thank you BaB CrC, If you need any info on how I built the hood let me know. Showtime [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BaD CrC Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 The detailed pictures of your hood are giving me a pretty good idea I believe how to make one, but what baffle me more is how did you framed the gauges in your front panel? It really looks fantastic! https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
showtime817th Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I have the instruments working with Helois, and I am really happy with it. Few more things to iron out.
