After an almost 2 year hiatus, (during this lockdown), I finally finished the cockpit. The following features are working: 1. GTN 750 (including touchscreen, knobs, buttons) 2. Aux touchscreen 2 (currently using it for a touch GTN 650, but could be anything) 3. Power panel, mags, start 4. TPM (I got one of those hard to find saitek — works great) 5. Flaps - 3D printed handle, guitar switch, and acrylic faceplate with a servo driving the flap indicator (the one last thing (servo) I’m still having a bit of trouble with). 6. Landing gear w/3 red/green/off indicators. The panel and Arduino based controls are from Air Manager on a Raspberry Pi. The sim is X-Plane with RealityXP GTN plugin. It’s primarily intended to be a Cessna 172S, but I have prop and landing gear so I can sim several other aircraft (such as 182RG, C210, etc). Next is to recalibrate the dual projector big screen in the background. (Again) I intend on sharing all of my design info and 3D models. Please like, subscribe and comment/question if you wish to get any of my design files. Let me know what you think. Feel free to ask any questions.
