hi Trevor, every time I start Xplane I need to reset the HDI, is that correct? I need go mobiflight and set the difference to get the right reading. I thought it was set one time and not every time

great video, this will help greatly with my sim build. very informative

Nice job! Keep up the good work

what is the brand of your laser cutter cap?

Hi Trevor, we chatted earlier, how are you doing? How did you get the letters printed out nice? I tried another type of faceplate, drew it myself but the letters were very badly printed. Maybe it's the font (what font did you use?). I'm trying out a piece of your faceplate, still 9 minutes for the print to be ready. Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work! Update: The piece I printed from your faceplate is not as clear as it should be. Struggling with the letters.... can anyone tell me how to setup my printer to make a nice print? I think the solutions is in the fine adjustment, but what exactly?

This was really helpfull! On my first try FSUIPC7 wasnt working but now it does!

thanks cap bob

Hello👋

Hello Bob, Bravo and thank you for your videos, I managed to eliminate almost all use of the mouse on the simulation (encoder buttons, LCD, etc.), so cool! However, I have a problem that I can't solve: I want to display the Radio COM frequency on a 7-segment LED but not when starting FSX, only when the battery is activated. How can I make an Output only appear if another Output has a certain value ? In my case therefore, display the Ouput COM only if the Output BAT = 1 ! I tried in the precondition tab but it doesn't work. Thank you in advance for your help. Looking forward to reading you and instructing me or clarifying if my question is not clear... Best regards Serge from France

I can't wait to see this thing attached into some mini aircraft or atleast a paramotor.

Flight Sim Association lead me here, insta-sub. Cheers!!

Thanks Trevor for the stepper motor info.. I'll order the controller boards as well :)

Hi Bob! Thanks a lot for MF insights. Could you please make a multiplexer tutorial in future? If you don't have a multiplexer, at least schematic explanation would be great. Thanks a lot🎉

Hi Bob, can I set up display units, MCP, and EFIS for B737 using air manager?

How do you go about finding the necessary info to program something like the fenix a320?

I love your sim, great work! I am very curious about the glare shield... Want to build something like that as well.

Please make a video of how you make the setting for (SBY / ON / FL /... ) Please😭😭😭😭

I've been watching your channel for years, and even though my time for flight simming has taken a back seat in my life I'm so very happy to see that after all this time you're still working on your passion. Keep it up. o7 captain!

Be careful with naming !!! - Timothy and Frankie, while 'funny' for your YT usage, are extremely poor choices in practice. You'll find out when you add more encoders that you NEED to provide sensible names i.e. names that help you both decode and debug your projects ;)

Trying to figure out why you chose N704CK? Thinking on it.

Trevor I cannot begin to say how cool this is. Super impressive. As you know I used to fly C-172 and PA 28. So I know what the real panel looks like. Yours is an amazing replica.

Hello everyone! I called the Arduino Mega Pro 2560 an Arduino Mega Pro 2560 Mini, it is not a " Mini", but rather the large version of the small version of the Mega. (confusing, I know!) Just look for the "Arduino Mega 2560 Pro" with dimensions of 38x54mm (sometimes rounded to 38x55mm)

Hi, in your opinion wich new computer harsware should i get

Really, really nice. Here's an idea: since the background heading card is already driven by a stepper motor, it would be cool to optionally link it to the airplane's heading variable, instantly giving a heading-slaved ADF (or even a true RMI, if an VOR/ADF button were added, making the needle point to the bearing "to", when toggled to "VOR" and tuned to a VOR station). Also... ...Now build an HSI! 🙂

Good stuff!

A small light table, like you'd use for tracing drawings, would be a great help if you plan on making a bunch more gauges with stickers.

Another amazing build and great design Captain! I've built all of your 6-pack instruments so far 😁 how many instruments do you run per Arduino Mega? Do you ever experience issues powering the BYJ's? Do you run external power to your Mega's when you operate the instruments? Many thanks and keep up the great work!! Also for anyone wondering how the ADF works, Doofer911 on RUclips has a great tutorial series on these things

I have too many hobbies. I need to return to my 8-bit flight simulator-styled six-pack. I have all of the instruments made and mounted, but i think i need to finish up some decals and finally order the motors for it. :D

13:50 , already robed one , is it ok ?

really nice trevor , thanks for updating ! i really like your videos

Good job Capt

love the desktop wallpaper. That's my favorite turboprop irl.

👏👏

Can you sale one of those?

First. If that's still a thing.

Would have helpful if you showed how you connected this to the arduino. Otherwise a good video.

Where is the start button

Hi, greetings from Argentina, I am designing a Cessna 172/CT206H simulator by my own and encounter the same issue for the trims. I ve had found a way to sort it up and is just to use an ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH between the motor and the trim wheel. IS INEXPENSIVE and you could find it in Laser Printers like Ricoh, Konika Minolta, Xerox and more, some ones drives with 12vcc 1A others 19vcc 1.5A and almost all drives with 24vcc 2A, check within the manual specs. Some examples for your search: Elegtromagnetic Ricoh Clutch Part N°: AX20-0324 Ricoh Aficio MP 2352SP / 2852 / 3352 Ricoh MP 2553 / 3053 / 3353 STEPPER SOLUTION: Use 1 Nema 17 with 1 driver Polulu a4988 (runs on 12Vdc high torque). Insert the Electromagnetic Clutch Into the nema 17 Shaft and use a relay to drive it (this is because it needs 12/24vdc). Connect the clutch shaft with GEARS (or fixed belt) to the trim wheel, plastic prefered as it would act as a fuse in case something bad happens. Use Enable pin to de-energize the coils and leave the trim free (when not in use). Use a fixed Speed, not to slow and not to high (founded via trial and error with PWM). Connect an encoder into the TRIM shaft and make it TRIM INPUT to mobifligth. Control the Electromagnetic Clutch vía relay (12v/24vdc) Control the relay via Mobifligth (5vdc). Control Driver a4988 via Mobifligth like an stepper motor. (***dont forget to calibrate driver current consumption previously*** ardufocus.com/howto/a4988-motor-current-tuning/) DC MOTOR SOLUTION: Use 1 DC motor with reduction, or planetary gears(commonly used on arduino robot projects) with an H bridge as motor driver. Insert the Electromagnetic Clutch Into the DC motor Shaft and use a relay to drive it (this is because it needs 12/24vdc). Connect the motor with GEARS (or fixed belt) to the trim wheel, plastic prefered as it would act as a fuse in case something bad happens. Connect an encoder into the TRIM shaft and make it TRIM INPUT to mobifligth. Control the Electromagnetic Clutch vía relay (12v/24vdc) Control the relay via Mobifligth (5vdc). Control motor via relay to prevent POWER SPIKES. Control the motor relays via Mobifligth (5vdc). In my case I am aiming for the STEPPER SOLUTION but the trim wheel is going to be mounted directly to the Clutch&Nema17 Shaft on one side, and the encoder (trim input) its going to be atached to the other side of the trim wheel. You could do the same to those levers, I hope it has been useful to you, greetings!

great as usual Trevor!! very impress.. tell me what kind display are you planning to use in PROTO ADF_KR-87..? just finished this one.. wating for my PCB board, now printing de KR 87!🙂.. . need to definde CDI's.. and extra radio..!

mach doch bitte mal ein Video wie man die jeweiligen Schaltstuffen ( on, Test, FL----) mit den Transfrom programieren kann. ich häng da jetzt schon zwei Wochen dran und komm nicht weiter

Hmmm. @ 08:21 3 & 14/16ths. That's very nearly 3 & 7/8ths. (lol) Do yourself a favour, and adopt the metric system. You KNOW it makes sense.

16-17 seems to be zero 100% seems to be near 700... 50% is therefore 350.... you said you "dictated it to go to 75", but i only see you mapping 698 to 75. The initial error is 698 is NOT 75 more like 100

Интересно. Но было бы неплохо в начеле показать из какого места самолёта та штука которую вы сейчас делаете

OTIMO SERVIÇO CMD BOB

Wonderful work young man !! One hell of an engineer in the making me thinks !!

Hi. New to all of this. Could you explain why 47 Ohm resistors are used? What are they connecting. Trying to learn more. Thanks!

Nice thanks, Do you know how to do this for the B737 speedbrake? I can't find a command for this....thanks in advance...

Dear Captain Bob I builded the hardware of your radio. The problem I have is when I started to develop the software I discovered that your instruction are on an old version of Moby flight Mega. The one I have is 2.5.1 and is completely different from yours. Now I do not know how to procede. Can you help me ? Thanks Lucio

Hey will that program work for DCS? Or is there even a library for it(?)

I’m almost done with my transponder but I’m stuck with the last part. I already have the Arduino Mega but where do I get the Arduino breakout board? And where are the wiring instructions and Mobiflight profile to get it working?
