3D Printed Star Citizen Power Control Panel - Building a Home Cockpit ep 9
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ธ.ค. 2022
- In this last video of the series of building a new home/simulator/virtual cockpit, I’m building a 3D printed power control panel for Star Citizen. Besides being a fun little addition to my cockpit, it’s also the first game specific module. It interacts with the game and also displays the status of the specific system. Not with APIs (since we don’t have them yet), but as well as possible.

The 3D model of this setup if available on my website: www.undeadparrot.com/simpit-3d-model-star-citizen-dcs/ and I just recently upgraded the setup with 180 degree curved screen, so check that one out too: th-cam.com/video/EfFCBRN1yhk/w-d-xo.html
I have watched many Flight/Space Sim cockpit type builds and i have to say yours is the pinnacle, not like some of the weirdo mechanical bull type efforts. Your making me envious instead of bursting into laughter. Kudos, wonderful contribution to common sense and your hobby.
Thanks! :D Yeah, I've been trying to make it functional, and also something I can use in different games too.
@@UndeadParrot It's always nice to be inspired, ide at some point like to attempt something similar. Kudos
It looks amazing can’t wait to see what else you might add in the future. And have it expandable for any future stuff as well. Great job man.
Thanks! I have few ideas in my head, but in the long run, let's home my creativity is enough to keep me coming up with upgrades. :D
Can't wait to see the DCS Hornet build, nice work man! I appreciate the time and energy you put into all of your work and the time and energy it takes just to make the vids.
Thanks! It's not really energy put into someting if it's a hobby you enjoy.
Awesome work, thanks for sharing your process. Keep it up 🤟👍
Thanks!
Another excellent video! Thanks for paving the way for us hobbies and setting a much higher standard! 👏
Thanks, glad to hear that!
Dude, you freakin rock!
Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE this! I recently built my own control box for Star Citizen and I love it, but I want to expand as I learn more about electronics. I've been starting to plan a version 2, and I'll be drawing inspiration for your build. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow, I just got here by chance and hit just the last Episode, so I think I have to go back and watch em all from the start. :)
Thank you very much for sharing all of this, and now, that I've seen that you've done it, it gives me a push to go and gather all my switches , buttons and other pieces, that I allready bought years ago for my SC panel built and just finally start the project! Thanks a lot and I'm very curious to see, what you've done in the other episodes.
And in case you want to build this panel yourself, the 3D files are available: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5748095
Hey UndeadParrot gaming! TY for this guide! Very nicely done and interesting! It would be cool if you show links of where we can buy the buttons, switch and usb controllers you are using so we can make one ourselve and show you our ideas ;) Thank you for you video! Keep it going! Love it!
@@duchyjohnny I would love to help you there but most of the stuff I used is actually generic stuff I've picked from local (Finnish) hardware stores.
Man, this is just incredible, it looks incredible, it works incredible, you are incredible !
Thanks! :D
Looks amazing!
Thanks!
good work sir, keep it up!
Thanks!
Another Great addition!
Thanks!
why are you so underrated your builds are absolutely awesome
Thanks, glad to hear! I wouldn't say underrated, just a fresh channel I started last April. It'll take its time. :)
Super cool!
i like the toys in your sim pit, but i love the toys in your workshop!
Awesome job
Thanks!
You are so great inspiration for us
Thanks!
👏 well done. Now all that's left is hoping for an API soon™
Yeah, soon... :D
Ayy, someone else who's made illuminated text for the buttons. Props dude =)
Those LeoBodnar boards are pretty sweet, I use one in my simpit but moved to Arduino for the ones i make to sell, heaps cheaper.
Thanks. Yeah, Arduino is something I should get into 2023. I'm planning to build the Hornet specific modules here for DCS so I guess DCSBios is the way to go.
Wow! Your cockpit looks pretty dang awesome and I like how much effort you put into it
Thanks. I would say I like the game as much as an average person... well, who likes the game. But I really enjoy building this stuff too.
Thx for sharing!
OMGosh.....still the best setup ever! Great work man!
How much to fly you from your Country to the US, to build the same setup at my house? Would totally be worth every penny!!!
Thanks! In all honesty, even if you would be serious, you'd be better off finding a skilled woodworking and contacting the person to build you a cockpit based on my plans. I'm just a hobbyist by a proper professional could build you amazing setup. :D
@@UndeadParrot ,
Oh...I am serious. Your work, design, and layout is top notch. Sure, I guess that i could find a local wood worker, but odds are they would be clueless on building such a thing....and I would think that your design should be proprietary to you. Unless you have some sort of schematic design and dimensions that you were actually willing to share?
Not to mention, a wood worker, would not likely know how to do all the wiring and electrical or even welding work that you did.
Either way, great job. Envious of the setup.
@@markhanson5031 The 3D model is available here: www.undeadparrot.com/simpit-3d-model-star-citizen-dcs/
@@UndeadParrot thanks man, you are awesome! I will check it out and let you know. I am still looking at a couple options and metal frame setups. But I really do like the look and feel of your all wood encapsulating cockpit sim setup you have.
Great work again! The build quality is spot on and the complete ( ;) ) cockpit looks awesome!
Thanks!
800 is a lot less than I expected for the whole set up
When I bought my joysticks I also looked for a good way to have a switch to turn on my engines and other stuff, no logical reason apart from the fact that I thought it would be cool to flick the switches up. Have no experience soldering and doing stuff like this but I want it so much, might have to give it a try at some point.
Really recommend, it's also quite fun project. Soldering is easy to learn.
Me with my new Thrustmaster T.16000 M Hotas: now Im pro!
Loistavaa työtä!! törmätään joskus universumissa!
Kiitos!
Have you thought about doing a video about the leobodnar board, wiring with software? I’m about to use ardiuono so it would be really interesting and helpful. Love the Simpit!
Leo Bodnar board itself is quite simple: just plug the buttons in and it's good to go. Windows sees it as a game controller.
But I'm planning to do an Arduino project at some point, and also another video about Joystick Gremlin and stuff.
nice video
Can't wait for SC to support something like this, or at least proper switches.
Until then I'm using the X56 throttle for the fake switches.
Yeah, it would be nice. Not sure if it'll happen though.
Salut, c'est un super travail !
J'ai une question, la macro ce situe dans la carte ou sur le pc ?
Is there a video showing what you use to power the boards and how to use the resistors.
Unfortunately nothing about resistors, but TH-cam is full of good basic guides about making LED circuits.
Great stuff as Always ! If I understand well, you use the current deliver by the board to light the green and red LEDs ? Not un external power supply ?
All the lighting is powered by external supply, the 12 V rail from computer PSU. I have a connector there so I can plug it in easily.
@@UndeadParrot okai thanks ! So you use the Switch to let the current to a led or another. Thanks a lot ! Keep going !
@@SpartanXfive Yeah, it's a two channel switch, so I use one channel for buttons and one for LEDs.
Hey ! I love your work ! I was really interested about creat some control panel with LED for my SC cockpit, but i'm not very strong in that. Can you make a video were you share components used ? Something like a tuto for noobs like me And share some picture or fast drawing of the circuit ? I'm a poor French and it is not so easy to undestand who do you have done. Thanks
Sure, I'll try to make a more simple version of how to wire LED etc at some point.
The virpil control panels 1 & 2, including your throttles ; could you share your button input layouts at all please? I have 2x constatation alphas and both panels and would realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy love to see what you have as your layouts :D
This should be somewhat up to date version, though it might not make too much sense, just something I've gotten used to use. Also going to tweak it when 3.18 hits live.

@@UndeadParrot You are a KING thank you
looks great. one question: sometimes i have the problem (e.g. after a major win update) that all my usb devices (joysticks, throttle, rudder...) get new ID's and i have to change the star citizen "layout....xml" file. (e.g. old input="js5_... " is now new "input="js9_... "). do u have the same problem and if yes how do you handle this situation? is there something more easy? rebinding everything ingame is out of the question and way too much work....
I've basically done two things: first I have mapped all the controls to four or five virtual joysticks (instead of I guess 8 I have there), which makes things a bit easier.
Then if the joystics will get messed, use a console command "pp_resortdevices joystick 1 2" two switch the joystick numbers. This example naturally will switch 1 and 2 between each other, so you'll need to figure out what joystick is what, and what they should be.
Your builds are amazing man, I wish I had your skills, time and money, would love to make myself a Mirage 2000 cockpit for DCS and that I could use it for Star Citizen too. Keep it up ! It looks awesome !
When you say 800€, its about wood + buttons + cables + boards... right ? Hotas, Screen etc Not Included right ?
Thanks! Yeah, the 800€ is basically upgrading my old cockpit into this new version. No PC hardware etc included.
I have to build this... amazing setup and videos! Have a racing rig I hope to build it around. Your discord link is broken? Any new link in case I need help?
Thanks! Here’s a working link: discord.gg/YMSJM5MXcA
Ive started make one
maybe without the LEDs
Hello!
Are you using 2 or 3 way switches and on/off or on/on?
I want to build something like that as well. However i am not sure how to make it work. Because if the engine is a toggle button i need the same key input two times. So a 2 way on/off Switch couldnt really work because there is just one key input.
I have latching on-on switches here. Not an optimal since most of the games don't support setup like thigs. But I used Joystick Gremlin to map it so that when I push the switch, it sends a short keypress.
Reason for my setup is that I wanted to have the on-off lights. It's just a two channel switch where second channel is for the light, nothing special.
I would recommend using momentary on-off-on switches.
As a fellow simpit builder, I love your work, but it would really help if you could link the components you use.
Thanks! Issue with the components is that most of them are generic stuff I’ve picked from local (Finnish) stores.
HI, Amazing Work.
Is Joystick Gremling working with Windows11 ?
Sorry, haven't tried with 11, I have Win 10.
What laser engraver do I need to accomplish this? I must have!
I'm not an expert with these things but my guess would be pretty much any should be good. I have Neje Master 2, doesn't seem to be particularly good. Just picked it up cheap as a second hand.
if you lived anywhere near me, i would of so contracted you to build me something lol
I would say you'd be better off contracting some skilled professional woodworker. :D
Nice, Very nice project. it´s to dificult for me to build this. I would like to buy it already finished. Can you sell some?
Would love to help but unfortunately I don't have time available to start building these for other people.
I'm curious about the power for the leds. Is the bodner card providing the power for them? Or are you putting power on separately?
I have a separate 12V power coming from an old computer PSU. I set that up in episode 7.
@@UndeadParrot just recently found your channel, I'll have to go back and watch some of your older videos. Been looking at building a button box for elite dangerous so your channel is a great inspiration.
@@Frozenwinter84 Thanks, glad to hear that! I'll probably make a specific video about button boxes at some point, but probably later this year.
What kind of board is that? And don't products like Game Glass pull data from the game? There has to be a way to get that data.
It's Leo Bodnar's BBI-64. Basically Windows recognizes it as a game controller. Unfortunately there isn't really a way to get the data from the game, at least "legal" way. Not even GameGlass can do it.
No, gameglass is not pulling data from the game, SC won't allow it at this point and time
What's the name of the board you are using To control the buttons please ??
Leo Bodnar BBI-64
where can i find these buttons
The buttons and switches are something I've bought from local hardware and electrics stores (here in Finland). Just really basic stuff you find everywhere.
Are you running star citizen and all of this into a laptop 🙃
With desktop and a plenty of USB hubs.
@@UndeadParrot ohh okay. I saw the laptop and wasn’t sure if it was all going into that
@@mikehunt8708 That was just my old gaming laptop. I used it occasionally for game capture with a game capture card. Or let my 5yo play something on it when I was working with something on my setup. :D
@@UndeadParrot okay haha. That would of been the biggest gaming sin to have all of that to run into a laptop haha. Well done also build looks sick
Scam Citizen
How original. :)
