Awsome project! printing the part right now. But can the design be modified to use the 6 DIGITS segment (TM1637) instead of the 8 digits ? it will make the panel less wide.
Really awesome I am loving your work. Wondering if you can help solve a problem? I have the yoke pedals and throttle but need switch’s and dials and I am running out of space. Is it possible to miniaturize the whole a whole stack radio/nav/ap/switches doesn’t need to be micro but would be nice if it was small and portable.
All of the .step files are available if you would like to modify anything. This build is about as small as you can make it given the size restraints of the electronic components.
Heya. Amazing design. I've got the whole thing printed, all the bits of electronics tested individually, but I'm struggling to get the final electronics assembly actually working. With any distance of wire from the Arduino to a splitter board I've created for distributing 5V and GND to all the components that need it, the LEDs misbehave badly. When testing one at a time directly to the Arduino they work perfectly but on final assembly they sometimes show '12.345' but most often show digits out of place or nothing at all. Would you be able to share some photos of your power breakout board that you've mounted on the Arduino? Thanks!
Hey Royston, did you follow the JST reference guide on the Arduino build page and the Mobiflight setup? The symptoms you are describing sound like a combination of a few errant solder joints and mobiflight setup issues. Send me an email at 3dvcreate@gmail.com
@@VincePrints Hey, thanks for the quick reply. It turned out, interestingly, to be a wire length issue on the 5V line. I've moved from having a separate splitter board to having a bit of protoboard directly on top of the Arduino with JST connectors, and have soldered directly into the MAX7219 boards instead of using dupont connnectors, and all the LEDs are behaving nicely now. I'm toying with making a proper PCB as I also have a couple of switches to toggle the radios between acting as COM1+COM2 and NAV1+NAV2.
Probably the first thing would be to make the Six Pack. Speed, Altitude, attitude, Vertical speed, heading indicator, and turn coordinator. I'm actually have ideas based on your builds for a home built cockpit. Also on a personal side note I would love to see you make the throttle quadrant of a Cessna C208EX Caravan (all glass screen). It's one of my personal favorites.
@@VincePrints yeah started to print the throttle tonight did you know if 88mm distance is the real distance on the real DR400 throttle i would like to have the same than real one i saw there is also 100mm pot on aliexpress instead of 88 thks for all your super work
@@user-mo4ul5td2p I honestly have no idea since companies keep their drawings pretty secretive. There is a design for 100mm pots under my thingiverse profile.
wow! i dont know how to do any of this but i am now motivated to learn, plus my cousin just bought a prusa 3d printer that i can use so it perfect! thank you for making your work free and public!
I really like your solution to a concentric rotary encoder. Cheaper than finding something like the ELMA E37 here in the US. It would be nice to use a similar system on a CadetG1000 😉.
Hello Mike, I have never used AirManager, but I don't see why not. If AirManager can interface with an Arduino, this should work; if not, you may want to consider a compatible board, but the encoders and 3D printed parts will work regardless.
WOAH. Looks great!! Im not entirely satisfied with my comms box as its too bulky and my cable management is shit, so im gonna check very closely this design ;)
looking awesome. I am now busy printing your joke. after that I have to find a good rudder pedal. secretly hoped you would upload one. or maybe that is your next project? if you know a good one, you would like to send it to me. i will keep following you on thingiverse and youtube. thanks
Thanks for taking time to share your creation, really inspiring.

You can certainly modify the displays if needed-- the .step files are available on the Thingiverse page
This is cool. One idea would be a second selector knob that would allow you to choose between nav1, nav2, com1, com2 etc

@@SidheS we could add your PCB to the project page if you are interested in sharing your design after it is complete!
@@VincePrints Yep, definitely. It's in manufacturing at the moment so once I've tried it out in a couple of weeks I'll get back to you.
Love to see the garmin G3x bezel like used in the cub crafters xcub. As well as the gfc500 autopilot panel!
Can you make v2 of cadet yoke sir?
Almost done with the video!
@@VincePrints when is it comming 😁
@@VincePrints hey does it have bungee cord?
Love it! All your designs are spectacular!

crazy you build all this i need just when i start to think about it !!
I'm a mind reader ;)

No problem!
Hi! Can i use an arduino mega 2560 r3? I can't get a mega pro
You will have to check compatibility with mobiflight
Love it, thank you for sharing your huge efforts
I really like your solution to a concentric rotary encoder. Cheaper than finding something like the ELMA E37 here in the US. It would be nice to use a similar system on a CadetG1000 😉.
Exactly my thinking! Well, I'm currently developing the missing Cadet control surface at the moment ;) but maybe after that...
Again, another amazing project!! congrats and thanks for sharing!
Can you use these with Airmanager. Its a better combo than Mobiflight (yes thats free but less)
Hello Mike,
I have never used AirManager, but I don't see why not. If AirManager can interface with an Arduino, this should work; if not, you may want to consider a compatible board, but the encoders and 3D printed parts will work regardless.
Waiting for more uploads
When is next video
I am currently working on a non-flight sim project but I'm hoping to have some more flight sim content as soon as I find some time
Excellent and thanks for sharing!
WOAH. Looks great!!
Im not entirely satisfied with my comms box as its too bulky and my cable management is shit, so im gonna check very closely this design ;)
Thanks! I tried to make it look pretty clean, let me know if you get stuck!
Great job!

👀👀👀 we will see 😉
You are freaking awesome!
