That was an amazing build. I would recommend wet sanding the surfaces of the FMC, then primer, sanding again smooth and a nice coat of grey then clear coat it would make it pop so good.

I would like to clarify a couple of things. The device being created here is a Multi-purpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU). In some ways it is like an asynchronous serial terminal, V T100, except there is a single TX port and 7 (or more) RX ports. ARINC Characteristic 739A-1 details the MCDU. ARINC Specifcation 429, Digital Information Transfer System (DITS), details the signaling used on the TX and RX ports. Both Flight Management Computers (FMC) are connected to the same TX port. Each FMC is connected to separate RX ports. I expect that the interface between your MCDU/Arduino and your FMC will be localised and not 429. I like your work. :)

I love what you are doing. Someday I hope to build my own home cockpit when I have space for it. I hope you will continue your KZbin channel when you are finished building your cockpit. Most youtubers end their channels or post very limited once their sim pit is finished, but their users will never understand the beauty that you get when you are able to stop using a computer keyboard and mouse and can actually focus on sim piloting. Some flights on Vatsim or pilotedge with your cockpit would be nice. Cheers!

As I dont like the pure black color filament in my solutions i print out the face plates in any PLA color i have, then spraypaint the faceplates in the right black/greay color. In my fusion 360 i have ingraved what ever wordings/letters i want like in 0.5mm depth, then i have printed out the word/letter in 0.5 height in white with a 0.3 line mm bar on top just to hold the letters together. I put the letters inside and cut/sand off the line bar, ofcourse the Word is superglued on the engraving. Looks fine.

@@helimech8152 just a tip. I tried to print out the letters individually without the bar, and this was not a nice result, as it is imposible to place the letters exactly the same angle. If you need back light on the buttons, then you use clear pla on ie the buttons. You print out the word/letters twice, place the first word/letters in the button, spray paint the buttons, take out the sprayed Word/letters and replace it with the non sprayed painted word/letters, the second print. The cheapest solution i could figure out. Hope it made sence... Im not in a use for a FMC (i have my GARMIN G5000 only touch screen), but I enjoy your channel, really good inspiration. I still building My Cessna Citation Longitude, less soldering 😉

@@helimech8152 There is UV sensitive PCB ready to buy in bulk. You can literally just put them on the printer, expose it for 90 seconds, then edge away the copper, and you have a ... more or less, perfect circuit board. Its even possible to make a soldering mask the same way. Its dead simple, really the only hard part is to design the PCB. Its also possible to make two side PCB. Of cause all the vias need to be drill pressed. And if you want to have a non square PCB, you would need some kid of CNC machine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKbHhKeYiKajmqc You could also edge on Solder mask with the exactly the same method. While this may not be the best way of making a PCB, its dead simple and if you already own a 3D printer really cheap to start with. And its fairly fast. While ordering PCB online will be much cheaper and easier if you want a bunch of them, If you only prototyping at home, and want one now. this is fast, simple and relatively cheap. www.amazon.co.uk/sourcing-map-200x150mm-Double-Sided-Prototyping/dp/B07R67G1FK/ref=sr_1_10?crid=5R5IDLNVLSEE&keywords=copper+PCB+board+UV&qid=1641487937&sprefix=copper+pcb+board+uv%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-10 That is £19 for 8 boards 200*150mm dual sided precoated with etching solution. UV activated solder mask is dirt cheap. So its pretty much just 4 exposures, drilling cutting, then a bath to plate the holes. The sort of... complicated bit, if you want non square finished boards, a CNC machine (or possible a hand router) is really the only viable way. But if you can design the boards square, Its pretty much just making how many boards you need on one PCB, drill it, cut it up, plate it, then it finished.

You did such an amazing job! And the result speaks for itself, because that DIY console you made is just 100.000% awesome, super incredible to look at and from where I'm looking at it, it seems hardly distinguishable from a genuine unit! One question, would it perhaps be possible to know the specific part number or name for those LED switches you used? Those look superbly handy for some of the DIY projects I'm doing over here too! Okay, I may have lied because I have another question! Was there a specific reason for why you opted to use a dedicated wire for each button instead of just using a matrix configuration to wire your buttons (into rows and columns)? Granted, you would have needed to add a single diode to each button, but it would have allowed you to wire all your 69 buttons (if I remember correctly?) to your Arduino using less than 20 pins, all for the small cost of slightly increasing the complexity of your button polling code. But especially if you are using interrupts and software debouncing the increase in code complexity wouldn't have been so bad i reckon. Not to mention the fact that it would have greatly reduced the complexity of your wireing loom *and* it would have saved you a great deal of time in the process!

Thanks for the inspiration! I am making a full cockpit for a AW-139, and have made a hybrid FMC using the AW139 panel and my own backer for button mounting that I learn to make in Fusion 360 and 3d print. I have a problem though. At 25 minutes, you SKIPPED programming the basic Arduino board in order to connect it to MobiFlight! I have no idea how to do it. A little direction would be a great help.

Nice project and good idea. But why you don't use a PCB for your keys? You only have to solder them and don't have so many wires. It shows like you connect each lamp and switch to a pin of the arduino. Use a matrix, you need only diodes. I think there is a technic you can check the switch and also switch on the led

Hello, it's coming! Post here takes months, infact I just had post arrive from 2020 today. Getting a pcb createdcand posted, then only to find there's an issue, would almost take half a year to a year. We are moving on soon, and hopefully I can make use of pcb way! Something I'm dying to try out! Kind regards karl

@helimech8152
@helimech8152 3 жыл бұрын
Hello, and your right. Its down to the interfacing software being to recognise that grid and relay it back to the sim. At the moment Mobiflight is used and each input has its own dedicated pin. This also makes explaining the connection process much simpler to people starting out.

The only thing, never solder wires directly to pcb it will go off in 2-3 years because of oxygen and water in the air. Try using connectors. In my experience for such wiring, is better to use D-sub or Idc. And FC-2,54mm cable for wiring. These connectors are really easy to solder to pcb and plug on a cable with one click. E.g. IDC-16 (KLS1-204-16-B KLS) for the cable and (L-KLS1-202-16-S-B) for pcb. This is really great solution if you have enough space as you had and it saves your time.

Good morning, after testing it for Xplane, In the end I modified it to do it with Msfs2020 but with the latter I can't get the FMC/MCDU/CDU screen to fit the screen you use in your 640x480 video. How do you extract the Msfs2020 screen so that it stays at its size ? Thank you very much and as always, delighted with all your work.
