    Would guess a keyboard emulator or what it is called. PM cdu-commands are keyboard inputs.

    I think a Hangstrom KE-72 could do the trick I´m about to wire mine soon!

    Would not even need a KE-72, Could be one of the cheaper units as all it has to do is emulate a keyboard!

    Keyboard emulator would be good if you plan to make the fmc the only part of your simulator. But your making an entire cockpit, so opencockpits would prob be your best bet.
