Work in progress MIP

[Steve1970]

Hi bessalf

Thanks for your comments. For the MIP, the encoders that I used are from CTS. Gray type encoder.

These are available directly from opencockpits site-

Connects directly to Master card. CTS ref: 288VCC0F161B2

If you search on the digikey website, there are similar ones without detent (I cant remember the code).

Programming is via SIOC.

Project Magenta are slick I have to say.

I dont have CAD files for the full project, but if you need some specific help, then please feel free to pm me.

Cheers

woww mate (Steve).. what a cockpit!! just on the spot, perfect!
wondering what type of hardware you've use for the knobs (rotary)? are they simple to configure on the FSUIPC? also looking to use Project Magenta to emulate the gauges..
do you have the project in CAD? would you mind sharing more info about your setup? struggling to find more information on how to configure rotary and switches..

thanks man.. well done!!

Hi Steve, thanks for that, appreciate the reply.
I had a look at the website and found the encoder.. my idea is first to have the rotary encoder working on fsx, then I'll try the switches (on/off).. having that I can move forward on emulating the gauges.. my idea is to have the panel that I can remove, so in case I fly another aircraft, I can just swap it with the new position for the instruments.. let's say, from a C172 to a Seneca, but still not sure how to emulate them though, if PM is a good option.
Need some start, will buy this hardware and try that out.. I saw some pp using the Joystick Controller BU0836X.. which one did you use?

Cheers

I to am looking for the rings and glass to go I front of the cutouts on my panel, did you find anything? Also how would you place an adjuster for the qnh if you are using a monitor to project the gauges?

Hi

In the end I made some rings myself because they are not readily available. I have since made a few sets for others. The encoders are just slim enough to fit between the MIP and the LCD display, requiring a gap of about 10mm. The Gauge rings then blank off to this depth.

Hi thanks for the prompt reply, how did you make your own in the end? Do you have any images to share, would you be able to make any more? Could you advise what encoder and knobs you used? Many thanks Paul

Also where did you get your panel done? Was it CNC'd did you have to produce a CAD file for the cut, if so where did you get it, are these readily available. I currently fly a PS28 Warrior and want to make a cockpit with the same style setup. Thanks P

Hi

perhaps you can contact me via my contact page on my emuteq website, I will try to help you.

Hi Steve,

Would you mind sharing where you got the push buttons to change between nav1, nav2, com1, com2 etc on your sim?
On the gps, I have the push buttons already, but I'm looking for the black cover, which will appear in the gps front. No luck so far. Did you build it?

Thanks,
Filipe
