Awesome vid! Very informative and entertaining to watch! Also thanks for mentioning me on the channel! One small note. If you notice your airspeed indicator is choppy or stuttering and not smooth like in the sim you can increase the resolution. Mobiflight rounds up to the nearest integer so it only moves the stepper when going from let’s say 75 to 76 knots. When doing fine maneuvering this stutter is very noticeable. To fix it change your transform to $*10 so the resolution is now 1/10 of a knot. Of course your will need to add a zero to all values in your interpolation table as well. This will make it butter smooth!!!
Thanks for your videos from Spain! I've built your airspeed but the stepper motor rotates in the opposite direction to the simulator's airspeed; I don't know how I can change the direction of rotation. Thank you very much Bob!
Hey captain bob, with a question the photos of the instruments where you get them or how you do them is that I want to make the cover of the Fuel flow of the twin comanche
9.7 MOBI IS A LITTLE DIFFERNT, WOULD YOU KNOW WHY MY STEPMOTOR IS SHOWING REVERSE SPEED?? WHEN I REDUCE POWER MY NEDDLE GOES FAST, WHEN I REDUCE SPEES THE NEEDLE SLOW DOWN
Hi again Captain Bob Love your videos. I have just set up an X27 and am impressed with how smooth they are. Do you know or has anyone converted your Servo version of the Air Speed indicator to use the X27. I don't want to print the X27 version as i think the Bezel size will be wrong for my panel cut out
Sorted. I managed to convert the servo version of the Air Speed to using a X27 and it runs much smother. Was quite easy and I did not have to print any parts. Just used some Kiwi ingenuity. If any one wants to know how am happy to explain but didn't do a video.
Hi dude, hope you and your family are all well. I was watching your last live stream and you mentioned a TH-cam channel to learn fusion 360 but I can not remember the guy's name, I believe you said he also works for the company , can you share that again please. Greeting from across the pond.
Very nice video, as always. Is it possible to configure an AIS wirh air manager (since it supports also arduino)? For home cockpit users with both fs2020 and xplane, air manager stay the only solution handling both sims
Hello David! It looks like it can: siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=Stepper_motor_connection_tutorial Just a few days ago actually MobiFlight released beta native support for X-Plane, so if you'd like to make the swap now is a great time :)
Well. Now I’m in a dilemma. I have 2 3d printers and a small hoard of electronics bits and bobs, but my plan was to build my sim like Allen Glen with a lcd screen behind a mask and use Air Manager. But this looks so cool, I’m thinking I should shift my strategy. Hmm.
Hmm - quite a dilemma indeed! This method allows for the proper placement of the yoke (monitors don't like being drilled into) but it is much slower. You can always make the holes for either one then "graduate" to the next one (or give up 🙃)
@@CaptainBobSim Thanks good points. You’re an inspiration to your age group mate, I’ve got 35 years on you (and passed a real PPL) so I’m a good judge, thanks for all you do.

Thank you for the tip! I will be sure to do this in the sim!
The x27 might have a little bit of jitter regardless, but I think this should help a lot!

Hello there Alberto ! You can reverse your wiring or switch the maximum values for minimum values in the interpolation table. Hope this helps!
am really enjoying all the videos soon starting my own project thx for the great content + 1 sub great work
Welcome aboard! I hope your project goes awesomely!
do you have a link where to order the steppers?
Here you go! 📦x27 Stepper Motors: ebay.us/aPTjp5

I make them in inkscape

IT'S LIKELY YOUR STEPPER PINS 2&3 ARE INCORRECT. ADDITIONALLY YOU CAN REVERSE ALL PINS OR APPLY THE INTERPOLATION.
There's no way to get the .168 steppers in South Africa but we can get the 28BYJ's so that's amazing
Perfect!! I am so glad that is the case, thanks to Kovinator!
Hi Captain Bob, I've tried it a few times now, but it didn't work for me, what's wrong?
Is it working yet, and do you see a green check mark for modules?

Sebastian told me he was working on the half step
That's great news! I will be very excited to see this new feature :)
