Re: bendix com box - help needed
Hi,
The radio panel is almost finished. I had a hellish time de-soldering a 7-segment LED which I put in upside down, duhhh.
I damaged the PCB in rectifying the problem and so will have to bridge accross the LED with wires to complete the circuit.
Having tested it last night, this should work fine. Other than that I am just wating for some terminal connectors from Farnells on back order, then its wiring and programming with SIOC which hopefully won't take too long.
I plan to release a PDF tutorial with pictures and resource information once it is complete.
Regards,
Steve.

Re: bendix com box - help needed
Excellent news Steve. Sorry to hear about the 7-Segment. I think we've all soldered something in the wrong way at one time or another. At least you noticed before you killed it.
I look forward to drooling over the PDF like I have with the Garsim PDF
I REALLY need to get something going, but I keep changing my mind about what is most important. Perhaps a switch panel for lighting and power - something simple to start.
How do you decide which project to tackle next? Thought about the Garmin G1000 ?
Your work is truly inspiring. And your MIP... what can I say? Keep up the great work Steve. It is very much appreciated.
Some day all pits will be made this way

Re: bendix com box - help needed
I agree great news. With such great building articles I dare say some the guys that fly the big iron might be a bit jealous hehe.. I tracked down a POH for the Cessna 206 circa (1985) not to old and not to new. I'm going to keep looking for one from the 90's non G1000 though. The 172 your building and my 206 have nearly the same cockpit layout. I would suggest for a next project the other direction though Gamin 430. It would make an excellent back up to the 530. Can't wait to read your construction article on this beauty though..

Hi,
I've just ordered my 2nd display card, and should finish this box in a couple of weeks, so far It seems to work very well. I'll produce a short tutorial with all the info and a youtube video of the finished unit shortly after.
Thanks for all the support from you guys in pushing me in the right direction with this one.
After this is complete, I plan to make the following -
Audio panel KMA28
ADF KR87 TSO
XPDR KT70 TSO
AP KAP 140
DME KN 62A
Then I can say that my project is complete.
Hmmm 737 next??
Steve.

I only planned to use them to switch the unit on/off, they are encoders.
Not sure that there is an offset for volume control with FSUIPC / FSX
Regards,
Steve.

AM frequency/concept and something more along the lines of morse code to keep it simple: the transmitter puts out 1 click and the receiver connects one circuit, 2 clicks and a different circuit, etc.
