Hello

How much current do you need?100mA or 200mA (10 or 20 leds)
If yours Leds are tiny, current is the same I suppose near 10 mA.Is it correct?
And I do not know if usb connexion could supply the total quantity.
Usb connexion is 5V.
If you want to use 5V voltage all the leds will be mounted with resistance.
In this case (5-1.2)/.01=330 ohms.
USB current is 100mA but voltage dépends of power 5,25V to 4,75V (full).
In this case you do not have the same light on your led I thinK?

Hello to all members,

Its been a long time since my last post and progress of the project!
Well I've spend some time with the wiring of the VTLs and HDD (MFDs)

First I have to figure out how to make PCB plates! Very hard and much reading!...
After that, I've started with some draft drawings!


2nd step, print them to see sizes etc


Well, everything looks great! Time to build them!




Time for some wiring!


Thats for the VTLs (Left and Right)
And here is how it looks the HDD (Head Down Display)


Thank you very much for watching!

Hi,

Any news on this cockpit ?

Hello to all forum members,

Its been a very long time since my last post to this topic. Du to the fact that I was doing a very long search for monitors, so I can finally end with the MFDs, I've spend more than a year to that and all other "projects" have been frozen.

I've found a company that makes custom made LCD monitors, but after a month from my order, I had to cancel it. They couldn't make them. So, no luck with the monitors. Now I am in the thinking of doing a modification to the main body of the front panel, so I can place in 90 degrees 2 10 inch (maybe) monitors. WORK IN PROGRESS for that.

So, I've moved to the next project I had. And that was the update of the Mirage stick with a "copy" of how the original looks.
3d drawings have been done by a very very good friend of mine, here from the forum, that he also made all my panels.

Below pictures from the final product. Before and after the primer.

Cause it was very fragile, I had to make it strong and heavy also for the calibration to stay in center. So I used artistic use cement. In 7 minutes its strong as stone.

As you can see cable is going outside from the base, cause in the original, is not IN the base but outside.
I use 3.3cm PVC to make the final part that I'll connect the main stick.

Finally after painted,....

Its fully working, no problem in flight!!! Tested in hard turns and very hard moves, without any problem.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH dimebug

Until next post....

Congratulations!

Great Mica !!

Amazing

A year to look for a LCD monitor ? You're not a man of compromise

Yes... a year and maybe more... I need sizes that can't be found. Its a special cut for each monitor.

Nice Mica

So, two more weeks for the Lcd ?

Very nice mica

It will be sooner if I finally found the sizes that much better for my instrument panel...

Searching for 2 peaces LCD monitors with VGA connection

Dimensions: 160mm X 210mm
and
Active Area: 140mm X 185mm



HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!

You can find the dimensions here

Top le site, merci Cat, directe dans mes favoris ^^

10,4" 1024x768 26,4 21,1cm X 15,8cm

This is ok, but 21,1 x 15,8 is the Active Area... not the total size... and thats the problem. This monitor is perfect but,... I'll have problem to place it to my panel.

Looks like a real one
Now, it’s time to think about the side consoles, and their panels !

And check MP !

Thank you!...

I'll have to finish up 100% with the front console and then with the left and right
Plus I have something else in my mind... M2000-5 Throttle. Can't fly with a M2000-5 stick and F-16 throttle...

I also have to find those 2 monitors... Its pain in the ass...
