    Improved stepper support here! th-cam.com/video/1_95yC5xnKY/w-d-xo.html

    Dude. Thank you. I have been working on a 3d printed TQ for 737 for 3 days now trying to set software up. The forums are sometimes helpful but most of the time not. This video made it clear as day that I was missing the "active" checkmark!

      You are welcome! Glad I could help. Your throttle quadrant sounds really cool! If you'd like you can send picture to CaptianBobSim@gmaill.com I'd love to see it!

    Good job, take care on powering steper motors with the arduino supply, 1 motor is ok but when you put a lot of stepers you need an external power supply to avoid excede the power delivered by the arduino.

      Thank you for the advice! I didn't think of that, good catch.

      should not be powering stepper with Arduino uno Big mistake if yiou decide to give it more power.

    Was this video Helpful? Should I make more in depth videos, or was this just right?

      Keep it simple for the beginners then add more info.

    Any suggestions on faster stepper motors? I am doing an A-4 Skyhawk and the 28BYJs cant keep up with the rate of change.

      I don't but you could go onto the MobiFlight forum and ask:
      www.mobiflight.com/ or of course google it :) (Not sure how wiring would go with it though)
      My recommendation would be to use a gear ratio in your rate of change indicator. Good luck with your sim!

      If your going with bigger faster Bipolar steppers then use external power not arduino.

    Can you do a video on an attitude (Artificial Horizon) gauge connection to steppers?

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I will likely do an attitude indicator within the next few weeks, but it will probably be with servos. I will add a stepper version to my video list, but it will take a while, as I will likely have to design the print.

    Is there much delay between the whats happening in the sim vs what the stepper motor is showing.

    • @CaptainBobSim
      @CaptainBobSim  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't notice any delay (Unless Logging is enabled).

      I don't think so, it runs through FSUIPC and XPUIPC.

    • @CaptainBobSim

      They are programs that communicate with the simulators.

      Sorry - I don't understand what you are talking about. Are you saying drawing on the whiteboard is bad? What do you mean by "cakeboard"?
