This was the first Panel I built for my last Skyhawk sim… and was interfaced with a cheap game-pad, wired to the switches. It *did* work, not perfect but functional. At some point last year the USB interface died, and left me without a radar. I have since mapped the radar controls to the RH DU as a temporary fix.
Tonight I pulled the Panel and disconnected the IO wiring, refreshed some of the switches, and completely rewired the panel to interface with *another* Leo Bodnar BBI32.
With its new more correct knobs fitted.
New wiring on the back. Now all positions of the switches are wired, all I have do is write some clever LUA scripts to make it all work!
And the finished product in place in the cockpit.
To do:
– Run the 2 CAT5 cables from the connections on the back of the panel to the BBI32.
– Write the LUA scripts
– Eventually… machine a new faceplate… the old one is showing it’s age!
