matbog Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Hi! Here is some news. I bought some real instruments and I start to play with them to interface them thancks to DCS BIOS. The first one is the IDN (Indicateur De Navigation) or HSI in English.

matbog Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 And the second one is the TACAN. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobinjaevel Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'm following your progress on CheckSix aswell, it's an amazing build that just keeps getting better and better! Will post pictures of my Mk10 seat some day, I use your onshape plans. Again, thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbog Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thank you very much Lobinjaevel! Your seat was very promising the last time you posted some pictures.

streakeagle Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I am enjoying watching your progress. Having real instruments and being able to use them with the game is a real privilege and challenge between the cost, availability, and technical knowhow to make it work.

eaglewen Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi Matbog, can you tell us a bit more about how you interface the TACAN? Do you use the original parts or did you replace it with a stepper motor or something else? Thanks in advance Werner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbog Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi Werner, As you can see on the pictures I use the original parts but i removed the 2 PCB and the rear connector. The Arduino is therefore plugged on the internal connectors (2x2x11 pins + 1x2x10 pins). I tested the continuity on each pin to discover how it was made and i found all the functions. For exemple the 2 digits are coded each on 5 pins (1 pin is the common) like a binary number: 0: 0000 1: 1000 2: 0100 3: 1100 4: 0010 5: 1010 6: 0110 7: 1110 8: 0001 9: 1001 10: 0101 11: 1101 12: 0011 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treker Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Absolutely stunning work matbog. :thumbup: I'm in process of making buttonbox for Mirage and was wandering if would be possible to get wiring (component list?) and DCS bios files for: alarm light panel, autopilot and PCA. It would save me a lot of time. :helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbog Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi Treker. Thanks for your kind words! Unfortunately I have no wiring diagram to give to you but you really don't need one. Just download Dcs Bios and install it. Then you launch it and you go to the Documentation section. All is explain, it is really simple if you just want to interface DCS with some Buttons and LED. It is just a matter of copying and pasting some line on your arduino sketch and change the number of the inputs and outputs. For the LED you have to add a resistor in serial with the LED. If your are not familiar with the Ohm's law you can calculate the resistor value on this site: https://www.digikey.fr/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-led-series-resistor You can also open a thread to show your project and ask for help if needed. Good luck for you project and show us some pictures!

Treker Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thank you for your reply. I already made a few button boxes (sim racing) but used mjoy controllers. This will be my first venture into Arduino based controllers. Wish me luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbog Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Dear friends, I have not posted any updates since a while!!! Today I deleted my Google album showing the construction of my cockpit I feel so stupid! I know some of you were following this album so here is the new link to access it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iisC9DzBihXibL5x8 I take the opportunity to show 2 pictures. Have a nice weekend! 2 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matbog Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Hi there! Almost 1 year since the last update but I did not make much progress on the dashboard... Sadely I have very litlle time to spend on my cockpit but I manage to start and finish an old project that I had in mind: Mirage 2000C grip for Thrustmaster/Virpil base. The base 3D model was made by Tibow from Checksix forum. He very kindly give me his model so that I can integrate all the triggers, paddles, buttons and electronics to make it a usable grip. Here is some pictures of the grip itself (it is printed on my resin printer then painted and varnished): Edited July 10, 2023 by matbog 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
