Great video, very clear description of all the steps to build a gauge. BMSAIT is new to me, every day there is something new to learn! Looking forward seeing more. Well done Michi.
Thx a lot, henkie! I don't really know, where I learned about BMSAIT, but Robin did a great job with it. It's been really, really easy to write new modules for my own hardware, like the MM5451 in the CautionPanel.
Very good work! Your attention to detail is admirable. I’ve been converting real instruments to run using stepper motors. It’s a bit of a challenge sometimes but rewarding when it all comes together.
Thank you very much. I totally agree, converting real instruments is great - the CabinPressureAltimeter at the end of the video (in the small window) is a real one converted to an x27 :-)
Thank You for sharing your project! Your videos are super ussefull. Please can you make a tutorial of BMSAIT? the documentation is in German and i'm having a lot of problems to fully understand it
Thx a lot! I'm really satisfied that I'm getting the hang of the editing part better with every video. Now I have to work on the filming itself, that's still a bit simple with most of the footage made with the iPad. I would have a whole arsenal of digital camera accessories and a DSLR - but I often get into the workshop "by accident" for a short time and then I don't have enough time to do a big filming setup. One thing at a time... :-)
@@simhangar6216 Still, you're making your points clear. What you're doing is great and thorough. It certainly helps pitbuilders to improve! Thanks for all your efforts.
Vielen, vielen Dank! Ich geb' dir uneingeschränkt Recht, das Mikrofon (bzw. der Nicht-vorhandene-Popschutz) ist aktuell nicht so der Bringer. Aber ich arbeite daran 🙂
What a nice and clean build! well done! how did you drive the stepper motor? what module did you use? Also, I have 2 suggestions for you for the laser job. 1. use low-tack masking tape or Vynal transfer tape to cover the painted surface (after it well dried) to avoid smoke marks, 2. after raster engraving the texts/graphics, run the laser again to do a vector engraving for the outline of the texts/markings. . it will make the panels look a lot crisper and sharper... you are tempting me to replace my Airmanager Simulated gauges (on an LCD) with these nice and simple gauges!
Thank you very, very much! Fantastic tips for the lasering, thank you! I'll try the additional outline engraving asap! Up to now I didn't have any problems with smoke marks, maybe because of my air assist? The steppers are directly connected to 4 output pins of the Arduino with the SwitecX25 library (through BMSAIT): guy.carpenter.id.au/gaugette/2012/02/16/using-the-switecx25-library/ Each stepper takes 80mA max (edit: the datasheet says 20mA max), so driving the compass, EPU FUEL and CABIN PRESS ALT gauges (the others are using servos with separate 5V power supply) will be a maximum of 240mA of power drain from the ArduinoMega which should be handled easily (500mA IIRC).
Thank you for sharing this! I have been using F4toserial instead of BMSAIT and I’ve been wanting to upgrade my dials.
OUTSTANDING!!!! I just printed out my center pedestal and left and right aux panels for the F16.

Thank you, it is perfect.
Great, if it's some help!
great video. how powerful is your laser?
Thank you, sorry for the late reply.
It's a 5,5W Sculpfun S9
Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you! I'm really glad if it's of some help to somebody!
Du brauchst dringend ein besserers Mikrofon, dass der Qualität des Videos und des Inhalts würdig ist.
Auf jeden Fall eine tolle Arbeit! 👍🏽

Do you have downloadable files? I mainly just want that x27 coupler
I'm still cleaning up the files, but the coupler is already available:

@@simhangar6216 you are a God sir
BMSAIT too complicated. I use F4Serial
If F4Serial works for you, great!
I like the possibility to use my own hardware and being independent.
