BluFinBima Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I've been looking for options to have a stand alone MFD using the Thrustmaster MFD Cougar. I investigated various options from RaspberryPi to cheap-ish Chinese HDMI displays, and I finally settled on, surprise, surprise, Helios on a Windows tablet. I've documented a reasonable amount of this project on GitHub including some information about changing the cable of the MFD. The AMPCD is completely wireless until the battery in the tablet runs out, and medium term, I'll probably mount this behind some plywood or MDF along with the left and right MFD's using the same approach. I thought I'd post here in case it piques anyone's interest.

BluFinBima Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 hmm, that's a great idea! how much was the tablet though? @Rick50 more details on GitHub, but I got my panels on eBay (used) for 30 GBP each.

BluFinBima Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 @Sabre_Ewan and @MarkTRurner1960, thanks for the heads up about the links. I've clicked them all and they all work for me.... I need to think about what might be going on. Could one of you type "https://github.com/BlueFinBima/DCS-Helios-MFD/blob/master/README.md" into a browser and see what happens? If that does not work, then try "https://github.com/BlueFinBima/DCS-Helios-MFD"?
