LCD for A320 & using 2 different I/O card

[AdnFly]

Hi,

I have registered few months ago but post this questions now because I am trying to do a research before asking questions.

There are two questions so far before I purchase anything:

1. I want to build FCU for A320, and I see that the display used in FCU sold by FDS, CPFlight and other pre-build FCU are not 7-segment display, it is a LCD and I think it is custom-made. Does any one have any experience building FCU using similar LCD?

2. I saw that I/O card sold by Flight Deck Technology (FDT) is easier for connecting 7-segment. My question is, is it possible to use two I/O cards for building one device? For example , if I want to build COM/NAV panel, and for the 7-segment and encoder I use FDT card, and for the button I use FDS card (FDS SYS card is excellent but doesn't support rotary encoder and 7-segment).

Thank you and sorry if my questions are to basic.

Hi Adni

Regarding point 1.
This lcd it is custom made for sure, probably price for this unit was that high.

Regardsin point 2.
Look here: http://www.a320-project.skalarki.co.uk/onlineshop-all-categories?page=shop.browse&category_id=26 and you will find far better solution for I/O card. Only one card includes Inuts, outputs and 7-segment displays. This is abolutelly programming free solution with software compatible for Jeehell, PM, WILCO, partially AST.

Hi Marcin,

You're back from vacation. Actually I have been visiting your website a couple of times and have decided to buy some panels. May I have your email because I still have few questions for you.

Also, do you have documentation about your I/O cards explaining how to connect certain switches, 7-segments, etc. like other I/O cards manufacturers because I cannot find it on your website?

Thanks.
