Glad to see some of the other forums sim pit builders chipping in too. thanks, Lewis - A2A Thanks Lewis, it's really a bonus when you can combine hobbies that you love into one project. In this case, flightsim, 3D print...

Re: UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

df123, first let me thank you for such a great detailed post. I downloaded the zip and checked out the ino. and it's clear you are a much more advanced coder than I 8) . As far as the display goes, I have a 1602 LCD but it's a blue with white back light and has the piggybacked IC2 board. I like the ...

Re: UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

Thanks for posting your project, love to see more. I have also recently been monkeying around with mobiflight, as the arduino mega are reasonably priced. Current project found a 3d printed trim wheel on thingiuniverse using encoder and RC servo that I have created now working get electronic's up. B...

Re: UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

Hi Guys, very interesting thread ! I'm also an A2A C172 (and C182) home cockpit builder and I would be glad to add a KAP140 A/P (as well as an KR87 ADF by the way) to my rig. So far, it is not possible, with provided LVARs, to have a current output to display (altitude or function). The question is...

Re: UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

So, here it is installed under the my first project and on a test flight from 1S2 (Darrington) to KFHR (Friday Harbor). https://3os2vg.sn.files.1drv.com/y4mFdwlF0_hd5hwV1lxWRZFoT-OEXSIOu23y7WloCwB6Bl4VYLYxdAYr1tb8xO-u6pbSeeo684ztZ-J-ncAU5t21d9Bf1TrM3kSPea0Lubh9EIczazJTryUwjwOBNFsfu2VKb7YxtWlzOSN8Tu4...

Re: UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

df123, My setup is strictly a one way input. The pro micro simply appears as a generic game controller in FSX and uses switch closures to simulate button pushes for altitude input. These button pushes are assigned using the A2A Bonanza input configurator program. These same switch closures are simul...

Re: UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

Well, it took a while, but I finally finished it. It took longer than I expected to figure out the code for the arduino "brain" and making it work with the 7 segment LED display. Here are some more pictures with brief explanations. Since there have been no replies to this thread I'm not go...

Hey everybody, after finishing my autopilot panel for the "V-Tail" https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=138&t=70244 I decided to make an attempt at completing the suite with the Altitude Selector. If you are interested the thread is in the Pilots Lounge. I put it there beca...

UPDATED My attempt at recreating the Autopilot Altitude Selector

Hey everyone, hope you're all getting along OK during the covid-19 pandemic. For me, I get some relief from the stress of all this by losing myself in various projects that take my mind other places for awhile. This is one of those projects. Not long ago I posted a thread where I made a panel to rec...

Re: Auto Pilot button box project

I am curious about the 3d printing, do you have a machine ? I saw some at Amazon for $250. but for me I am not sure how often I would use something like that.One of the biggest pains when making my hardware were the labels. I used a photo and just cut out the labels, kinda mickey mouse but it was t...

Re: Auto Pilot button box project

Looks like you did good. This board is all you needed and for 10 bucks how can you go wrong. I didn't even know something like that exists. 12 buttons and one axis if I am getting it right. I wound up using all 8 taxis and all 32 buttons with the Bodner board when I finally finished. As I said look...
