Thank you very much! The community is so fortunate to have MobiFlight as such a flexible tool! I was surprised with this config how much data was not available in MSFS but could be replicated in MobiFlight!
I was 10 years old (44 years ago) when my dad started teaching me to navigate and letting me touch the avionics when we were flying.. we had king silver crown series in panels starting from 1980, and I still run across them regularly.. I remember my dad quoting the ads from flying magazine.. "flip flop is better than hide and seek".. referring to the frequency change in the KX155/165.. when we retrofitted the cardinal RG with all new silver crown avionics.. then he bought a new Mooney 231 with a full Silver Crown stack.. i solo'd and got my private, IFR and commercial in that airplane.. we built a Glasair II-S and put a full stack of Kings in it too.. Nice job on this series.. i'll be building these for my sim.. thx.
I've made perf board transponders in the past and the wiring was quite knarly - it can be done however :) The PCB makes life much easier I plan on opening it up as a kit soon - I haven't gotten to listing it yet. Thank you for your continued support!
Hey Man, totally 100% awesome, a true marvel, one issue is that I cant find the breakout boards anywhere and not sure the correct term for them, if not how do I connect it to the arduino, Im using an uno clone as I find them more stable than the originals, keep up the awesome work
I have the real sim gear 750 but I really want to make one of these. You are the go to guy for me. Soon be moving house and making a steam gauge helicopter
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..!
Hey MikeTango! I'm using 4 digit .36 7 segment displays (common cathode) with the clock colon separator. I'll provide the part number in the video when I package everything up. It's still in Prototype stage so keep in mind things may change! Let me know if you have any feedback from the print!
@@CaptainBobSim Thanks Trevor, the only "hard" stage is printing the letters ( ussing Sovol04 as printer or ender3v2). the letter is hard to get a clear font when is finished what Font do you use? Arial? bold?.. is too small to my ptinter get a nice results. Ussing single filament ,not 2 colors for Sovol. btw Ill paint it with white permanent marker after and seal with clear coat.but printer wise come up nice. drive.google.com/file/d/1-H_8PUeiYLdeQXiaqXf9CqFjhKaZIKTg/view?usp=drive_link
@@CaptainBobSim Thanks Trevor so far print goes well.. just small issue with letterm due size maybe? is hard to get a clear font with 0.4 nozzel. what font did you use? Arial? maybe bold will be better? I have to try and see the result.. so far painted with white marker and clear coated after. looks ok but I thnk could be better. drive.google.com/file/d/1-H_8PUeiYLdeQXiaqXf9CqFjhKaZIKTg/view?usp=drive_link
@@CaptainBobSim hey again. Still learning about the maths behind electronics. But does that mean that you are providing only approximately 1V to each LED? I assumed a 20mA draw for each
@@IgorSilveira To have it work you'd need to give higher than the forward voltage of the LED (at least 2.7V). I calculated the resistor value to give I believe around 3V, although I don't have my math on me at the moment. You can also use parallel LED resistor calculators online. Another option is to just put in random resistors in until it works (starting at a high value and working down). Not very scientific however.
@@CaptainBobSim I would really appreciate if you could share a wiring diagram, as I am still learning it is not making much sense to me. Are you using the input voltage of the Arduino to power all LEDs (5V)? Cuz if you are wiring them to be 3 parallel sets of 4 in series LEDs at 3V, they'd require a 4*3V = 12V supply at least. But then no resistor would actually be required as the left over voltage would be 0V. I am probably looking at this all wrong, but if you could help me understand voltage dropping circuits 🙏
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?
Hello @FranklyVR1 There is more information on connections in the readme of the C172 Project files as well as the MobiiFligth profiles. The Breakout Boards haven't been released yet but send me an email to CaptainBobSim@gmail.com and I can get you some.
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)
Trying to find the components to purchase but I couldn’t find the links for the LED Tactile Push buttons or any of the other components. I’m brand new with Arduino, so not sure which ones to get to get this to work. I already bought the gerber files for the pcb on your Patreon, and ordered the PCB on pcbway but don’t have a clue on where to get all the other components. Any help? Can you provide links? Thanks!

Great job! Cool config within MobiFlight recreating all the details that are not inside MSFS but the real unit.
Thank you very much! The community is so fortunate to have MobiFlight as such a flexible tool! I was surprised with this config how much data was not available in MSFS but could be replicated in MobiFlight!
That looks awesome! The radio stack is one of the obstacles stopping me from finishing my cockpit right now, so this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
I am so glad that it helped! I hope you have a blast building it!
Duuuuude how you don't have more subs and views is beyond me, this is amazing work! I can't wait to try build my own 😄
Thank you for the kind words! Let me know how your build goes!

I'm glad you have such confidence in it! With spring break I was able to spend extra time on this one 😃
@@CaptainBobSim Great to hear!
Great ! I just started a C172 project at my school, I think i'm gonna use this 😁
That’s so cool! I wish you the best of luck with your project - Let me know if you run into any snags!
@@CaptainBobSim thanks ! ok great 😁

Doing great work there, Bob.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it!
Just awesome…makes my transponder look horrible.
Taking DIY to the level of a finished/polished product. Great job!
Your transponder looks good! I’m way impressed by it - and it is awesome you shared it online!
@@CaptainBobSim thanks…I’m definitely impressed with yours, may have to give it a try.
hey captain, appreciate this kind of videos, awesome content you have on your channel! much respect from germany! keep the blue side up

You are welcome! The PCB is the only thing not for free, but you can always use Perf Board!
Hi Bob
why do you use the Ardroino Mega for your projects?
Isn't the Ardroino Nano better suited for this small project???
Perfectly fine! I just implement many small projects into one big projects and like the extra pins
do you sell its the bezels too?
I have the real sim gear 750 but I really want to make one of these.
You are the go to guy for me. Soon be moving house and making a steam gauge helicopter
That is such an exciting project! Helicopters are such a cool topic in flight simulation - I wish you the best of luck with you new project!

Btw. I saw somewhere that you do consultation. Where can I go to purchase a consultation session?
It is a male connection and then you can use a female to connector to wire it to an arduino
