prosimparts radio modules

[nolatron]

I've got their NAV, COM, ATC radios and their Overhead Panel kit. I'm happy with my purchases and the panels all look great.

Had a few minor items (back panel, some screws, a rotary switch, gauge cover) missing from the overhead kit but Danhiel will be sending those shortly when the overhead indicators are ready.

The 7-segment displays aren't hard to wire up. The main issue with the one's he ships with the panels is the "dot" for every segment is wired together. My fix was a to cover the ones not needed with a small piece of black electrical tape. Problem solved.

Is wiring difficult? Hard to say. Really depends on your experience and skill level. Wasn't too hard for me but I've done this kind of stuff before.

I've pictures of all my hardware in my gallery here: Blue Skies - A 737 Cockpit Project

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.

Yes sure it will be very nice if you can make som pictures when you wiring Thanks! It will help not just only me but many others

Hi Super2277,

As I said, I must receive them any moment and I am looking forward to it. I will make pictures from the package and the opening with the received parts. I have ordered the 737 /Radio set + Squawk. As I use it in IVAO, these parts are highly needed. It´s not longer nice to use the Saitek radiopanel anylonger for this.

To get them well functioned, I have also - already at home - bought

- 3 displaycards - Open Cockpits
- 1 Mastercard - Open Cockpits
- 1 USB expansion card - Open Cockpits
- 1 bodnar BBI32 card

Keep you informed.

Best regards,
Ed

I like the quality of Danhiels products. I ordered the pedestal back in September and is very content with the quality (compared to the price).
The pedestal is from the basic series so I had to build the pedestal my self. This has taken me some months but of course is the fun part. Got a bit of track here; I just wanted to say the ProSimParts is of a nice quality.

Soo the basic line is also good? what electronics do i need? a list of potometers and knobs?

I like to looks of the Basic Line. I am sure you can get better looking products at other vendors, but not at that price!

In the Basic Line you only get the panels, so all electronics have to be bought else where, and you must assemble everything you self. That can be quite a task as there are 15 panel parts in the pedestal. So the final result and finish depends on your own skills.

A quick calculation:
Basic Line (COM+NAV+ADF+XPNDR)
€40 - 4 panel-parts (4 of the 15 on the pedestal from ProSimParts)
€40 - 7 segment displays
€50 - Dual Encoders (You can use single encoders then it is only around €20)
€30 - Knobs Boeing style
€10 - Various electronics

So as you can see the Basic Line also sums up to around the same as the Radio Stack.

Add to this the time it will take you to assemble the radio-panels the the lack of finish when you make them DIY-style. I bought most electronics from Mouser.
So there is nothing wrong with the Basic-Line. But if you only want the radios those few extra Kroners/Euros are well spend!

(Not that I regret that I bought the whole pedestal instead of only the radios. I like having the whole rack sitting next to me. But it took me 3 months to make the panels)-

Strange. I do not need knobs and encoders. They are all integrated in the modules. Do not understand what Peter means by this. Here are my photo's from the received package this afternoon. Looks gooood and even if they are basic, I am happy with this first impression.

The 4 individual Radio modules he offers includes everything in an "almost-plug-n-play" setup. Panels, encoders, switches, etc...

He also offers a complete pedestal panel kit but that is just the panels and what peter bought. I can't access the site to see if offers a pedestal + switches kit though.

It's the same for the overhead. 1 Overhead kit is nothing but panels while a 2nd overhead kit includes panels plus all knobs, switches, etc... I bought the overhead kit that includes everything.

Sorry, Think a reanimation helped.

Good luck
