Everything ready to building Ilyushin Il-62

[Qwseyvnd]

I tried to programming to run the motor as a prototype but now I thinking that I destroyed the ULN2004AN so I will trying a simpler to programming with.
Now I will programming 4 encoder switch and two buttons. How it works: encoder switch will store the kilometer counting of X and Y.
The buttons will choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or #10 waypoint.
So the 7-segment, which is an prototype of stepper motor.
The first programming will show how long it shall run to reach the waypoint in straight way up to 200 km, if I reach 200 km, it will count to negative so I must turn the airplane 180 degrees.
At a later point, choose waypoint #1 to 10 in use which is SID and STAR. Basically it is a map of X and Y coordinate with limit 400 km X and Y. Also, #5 to #10 can be a rectangle of 5 waypoints that is go-around algorithm.

I will explorer how to connect X-Plane SDK with pins on an arduino card, or equivalent.

Update:
I will connect resistor at serial from #1 to #2 rotary encoder with X and Y coordinate to just one pin on an arduino card; so, it will be eight different values to read. I got this idea from a person who made a switch with resistor to just one pin on the interface item.
I will have 20 rotary encoder to connect with; so it is 40 values to read in each 1 byte. 1 byte has 256 different values to write and read! So, there is a lot more to put in.

Update:
I do not find 39 pieces of low Ohm. The requirement below 40 milliAmps and 5 Voltage. They shall be connected serial.

[Qwseyvnd]

5 Volt
40 mA
125 Ohm
19 resistors, not 39.
6.2 Ohms each and 2 watt each. Thus, it is 38 watts to provide, correct ?

Hello Qwseyvnd

First of all I’m unsure what you are trying to achieve.
Are you planning to connect a resistor ladder to an A/D input on the Arduino?
And when you talk about Rotary Encoder – do you mean an 8 positions Rotary switch.
Look here for some component overview: http://www.737ng.co.uk/components.htm
and this page for some more technical stuff: http://www.737ng.co.uk/technical.htm
Ian has many well written articles about different topics like this one:
http://www.737ng.co.uk/autobrake.pdf which may be close to
what you are looking for.
Please supply schematics / drawings to visualize what’s in your mind…..
And it would be nice to know the layout and function of the panel/flight
instrument you are about to make….

Well... to understanding me, try PT Il-62M freeware addon for FS2004, then try to navigate it in flight simulator, then you are understanding what I am trying to expression about the upper panel black box on the navigation panel. I have been searching in Youtube but found not any good video that illustrate the navigation system.

I have roughly 1700 pages about this airplane.

You are a brave man, Qwseyvnd.

I don’t have access to FS9 so I'm unable to try the Il62.

I would never touch such a project without a lot more technical
documentation available - at least if you plan to go real.
It’s a huge project with a lot of coding and manufacturing.
First of all you should check with the guys behind the PT Il-62M code and ask
if you can have access to the entire package or if they can write an SDK for you to
talk to / from your own interface code. They could maybe use FSUIPC offsets.
A key point here is how well the PT Il62 system internals are simulated.
If you don’t have access to those or they are badly implemented,
then you need to write your own system logic – impossible without
detailed acknowledge about operations and access to technical manuals....

For your specific question about the X and Y input I think I would go for ordinary
encoders. Do you know if the Waypoint buttons are latched or just
momentary and can you push and activate more than one button at a time?
BTW - Nice panel…..

And how do you plan to operate this aircraft as a single pilot or are you part of a team?
And what about the Russian language?

NV-PV_illustration.jpg
As you see, NV-PB gets the airplane direct to waypoint, as you see, for example, X coordinate might be minus 20 km, Y coordinate might be plus 250 km, and the flight heading must be 200 degree heading or more or less depends on where I began to departure at the point of earth. Or same system with the GO-KR panel, which I shall made 20 rotary encoder with 19 resistors, it gets the airplane from runway or ADF, VOR or RSBN station to use km correction directly to waypoint with calculation where the heading must be and counting kilometer to zero at the waypoint. If the airplane does not use correction, the deviation might be +-10% in 7000 km oversea. By that, that's actually a simple computer inside that without advanced such as FMC but supplied with magnetic variation, doppler, and some other items that is explained in the document. There is a option to add INS-21 computer glonass system which is similar to Intertial navigation syste,.

A BIG update:
Might I planning to build my own computer with Zilog z80 16-bit processors which I will provide maximum 1750 watt power supply.
Roughly specifications:
256mb hard drive which will provide terrain mesh and some airports and visible runway and such. No support for texture, so I will use green for country, desert in some areas, white snow, line snow and rains instead pixels, black runway, white markings on runway, a few lights so I can see that it is night, 4 bit filtering set at day and night, blue sea, visible sun and moon, triangle clouds. Maybe traffic if it is possible. I will not promise a lot because change fast.
