prosimparts radio modules

[OmniAtlas]

Eric, I would appreciate if you could upload the datasheets as I am also interested in purchasing prosimparts radio modules. I would prefer to buy the whole set and wire each modules individually as I see fit, but as of right now I am pretty clueless where to begin as to -- 1. Which parts I need to buy 2. Which I/O is the best (and most affordable) 3. How to wire radio modules 4. How to interface it with the PMDG 737 NGX, and later on when I invest with prosim737.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm planning on doing the exact same thing but have been debating which I/O system to go with. Right now I'm leaning towards open cockpits since it has tested by prosim737. Sismo is compatible but not directly tested.

And of course which is cheaper will play a part too.

Ok, I will upload the datasheet of the digits when I have access to my laptop.
Probably this evening.

FYI: the radiopanel I hooked up through FSUIPc works with the default airplanes of FSX, but also 90% of the addon ac. Pmdg737ngx works too.
I used keysends as outputs and mapped these in fsuipc. Inputs (digits) are read from fsuipc, through a homemade delphi programm to the pokeys boards.

Sorry, I have no access to the datasheet for about three weeks. I am on vacation with no laptop and uploading through an Ipad will not work.. If you need them now I suggest you mail Prosim.

i emailed Danhiel at prosim parts and got this response (within the hour)

"So, the Opencockpit cards are good items and SIOC langage easy to implement.
We are preparing a "how to do" manual with the more used cards but it takes time.
However we have contact with developper for an integrated system with our panels.
So, be patient and you will receive the informations.

Fine by me as im not quite ready to put the radios in yet.

About these MAX7219 and teensy cards, are these cards available to buy off the shelf, can anybody post a link to the card so i can have a good look!

Just waying up options now, thats all!

How are you guys mounting these radio stacks? Are they compatible with the radio boxes such as the ones that engravity and simquads produce?

Well i can answer that for myself, i will be building my own box for the radio stack. I'd be happy to supply measurements of the panels as ive ordered 1x radio set, and the complete panel set for the pedestal.

Once you've got the measurements you could do some investigations as to whether they would fit?

Have a look at http://www.pjrc.com Tons of interesting stuff

Looks interesting- but seven segments still confuse the **** out of me!! does anybody know what boards i would need from opencockpits to run the three radio's, from what i read i only need 1 x displays card.......

Displays card.

It controls up to 16 7-segments displays.
Eight cable connected to the whole group of displays.
Up to four displays cards can be connected to one master card.
Completely finished and tested.
and one master card...........

Master card.

It controls 72 digital inputs and 45 (38+7) digital outputs.
It has a bus to connect up to four displays cards.
It's connected to the USB Expansion with extension parallel cable (Pin1 to Pin1).

can somebody confirm if this is correct?

Many thanks

Basically correct subject to:-

You will also need a USB Expansion Card. A mastercard does not work on its own

16no 7 segment displays can be driven from one display card, however, if you want to be able to dim the 7seg displays then you will drop to 15 displays, as the dimming function uses a display control pin
