Newbie: Multi Purpose MCP FSX Arduino Mega Project

[Dazmo416]

Hi
I have been building a MCP interface for the iFly 737 and FSX GA aircraft. I found Link2FS from Jimspage Link: htp//www.jimspa.co.nz/into.htm and his radio stack and various other information. So I started to build various layouts and after several attempts to produce a front panel I managed to produce the attached image.
I use two Arduino Mega 256, one for the radio and some switches and the second for Auto pilot and various functions , actual altitude, Flaps indicator, actual airspeed and several switches. What I would like to do is use the codes from simconnect direct to fsx so I can select more codes to access fsx direct without Jims program. Has anyone done this with the Arduino? http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/images/icons/icon7.png

Hello,
forget simconnect, use LUA which can access FSUIPC offsets (see FSUIPC documents pdf in your FSX/Modules) and use LUA com library to talk to arduino. Get inspired here: https://code.google.com/p/arduino-fs/

Hi Pavel
Thanks for the info will investigate, I have a fully paid up version of FSUIPC :smile:

With what material did you make the panel?
