Today was a quiet day spent at work, on call…. so I got plenty of design and development work done on the 737!
First I drew up the Air Speed Indicator bezel, and 3d printed the parts, then after a little finishing and painting I machined the “glass” for it out of 2 pieces of 6mm polycarb,
While the bezel was printing I started to pin-out the NAV radio, and with the help of the support guys at Gables I have the first of the connections made, power is on, “Active” and “Auto” lights are working properly… next step is backlighting control and finally (and this is the bit I’ll need help with) getting the 2×5 data out to a controller so that I can read the set frequency!
Lots of wires, post-it notes and “beeps” from the multimeter 😉
And to wrap up the day… compiling all my drawings together!
