Padonis Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 The NMSP module is almost ready, waiting for the Arduino Uno :). Of course, the green highlights the subtitles on the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganeshka Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 can you show how you make that buttons ? i'm stock in this moment to make UFC ... Did you cut them from Acril ?Show this more detailed PLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padonis Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Buttons are made of three bonded layers, 1x colorless plexiglass, 1x colorless plexiglas, 1x laminated engraving. The sides are painted on the gray color of the engraving laminate. It is not ideal but acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padonis Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) # lucky-hendrix The laser burns the inscriptions in the laminate and then cuts openings and parts. On aluminum I only draw the shape of a laser and then cut the holes manually. # Ganeshka One of the panels for example. Aluminum, spacing frame, milk plexi (diffused backlight), engraved engraving laminate. I use a standard "tact switch", the height I choose for the panel, and the way the backlight.

Ganeshka Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 what about backlight ? how you connect it to arduino ? do you need external power adapter ? show me pls back side with backlight . You cut led strip , and then how you connect parts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padonis Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) The backlight of the panel is powered by an external power supply. Arduino controls only the control light. PS.

Ganeshka Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Nice !!! Can you show pls what is displays for ILS and TACAN ? and gow you wire them to arduino ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padonis Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) ILS to landing approach, TACAN to the cursor on the radio lantern (airport, tank). Shows the needle on the HSI. Connecting to Arduino, I can hardly explain. In principle, it all depends on how you write a batch file to the Arduino. Connect the cables to the appropriate connectors as programmed in the batch file. Excuse me, but I will not teach you all about the Arduino and DCS-Bios in a few sentences, especially that my English is rather stingy. You can learn everything from the DCS-Bios site. I can always upload my batch file to Arduino. Edited September 28, 2017 by padonis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganeshka Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Can you show displays what are you use for ILS TACAN and EW , i will try to learn all by myself :) just tell me what parts are you using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padonis Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) ILS, TACAN and radio use 7 segment LED displays (common anode). https://static1.tme.eu/products_pics/8/b/2/8b26bcfa25c73cc12350e1417dda4088/417507.jpg https://static4.tme.eu/products_pics/e/6/d/e6d703f331164e9dc7c11c801d4c1c6e/prime_presentation/prime_presentation_pres_0001.jpg https://static1.tme.eu/products_pics/0/7/3/0736fcaeb5163efdd70857d6639bdd14/423650.jpg For EW and CMSC I use lcd 2x16 and 2x20 alphanumeric displays, HD44780 compliant. https://nettigo.pl/system/images/1130/original.jpg?1493327734 https://d.allegroimg.com/s400/017008/895ca3dc4f2ea6169a8266b1cedd Of course, the color and size you choose for your project.

lucky-hendrix Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi padonis, I see that most of your panels are contained in a "box" enclosure, see this picture : https://images81.fotosik.pl/249/e55aeb095dba15a8.jpg I see how to make a panel, but how do you create the box bellow it ? is it also in acrylic plastic ?

Padonis Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Boxes are made of "plastic hips" 2 mm http://www.partwell.com/hips-high-impact-polystyrene-plastic . Elements are cut very easily. I glue the sides of the box with the gun on the hot glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
