prosimparts radio modules

Yep, and the MAX7219's can be cascaded.

An alternative could be the AS1106 chip. It's cheap ($2,-) and by reading the datasheet it's equal to the MAX7219 in capabilities.
btw... You can order up to 9 samples for free from the manufactor.

I'm testing these chips as an alternative to ordering another displays card for my pokey's.. if that works out, then 4 chips in serial could drive the 32 digits of the NAV set from ProSim..

Well... Some time has passed and lots of experiments later I am about to give up.
i can't get the chips to do what I want. Its not the chips i blame but my brain and patience.. I have taken all prototypes apart and locked the room and swallowed the key (fed it to the dog)

Cockpit building? Great for those with patience, time, programming skills, electronics skills, carpenter skills, suporting family members or, for those with lots of money. I have none of the above.

So. I have decided to put all up for sale, buy myself a fast pc with 3 monitors, grab a goflight switch panel and radiopanel and enjoy flying again. I wish you all the best, and maybe, just maybe when my frustrations subside, give it another try.

Hi

I am in the process in connecting my radio panels from Prosimparts. What I can’t figure out how to make the Dot to work that only the one comes on that I need. I am using the cards from OC. The use a 7 channel multiplexing, and not 8 to control the dot. How would I figure out how to solve my problem? Will appreciate any response, to my problem. In another forum here in Germany is the same question asked.

Cheers Norbert

Since the "DP" pin lights up all the dots, I just used a black permanent marker and black tape and 'blacked out' the dots I don't need.

Sammy-E -- why don't you try opencockpits or cpflight panels? They are plug and play.

Hi Shaun

Tried the marker it still shines through. Will have to try taping it up. Is there any other way to do it with the electronic from OC.?

Hello Norbert

All though this is very OC centric, Kennair show in great details how to wire
the OC version of the panels to OC hardware. Shouldn’t be too different
for other brands of panels.

Does anyone know if the prosimparts modules are DZUS compliant?

Yes they are. See their website

So are this company good? And is this wiring stuff difficoult? i can see the segments lights are very hard to wire?

The ordered RAdios must be here in some days. If you like, I can make some pictures of me wiring them. I have spoken to Imtryin

He has it working and loves it.
