Hi
My name is Rhys and this is my first post, so first things first hello.

I am about to start building a helicopter simulator from the old cockpit of a Hughes 300, using real helicopter controls.

I was going to use the plasma lite from Betainnovations but sadly they have closed.

I want to use linear potentiometers to connect to the helicopter control rods in the cockpit but I am not sure what interface to use between the potentiometers to the computer.

I would love some advice on what methods would be best to interface the aircraft controls to the computer.

Thanks

Rhys

Take a look at Desktop Aviator 2090 board or the board by Leo Bodnar
