I like the videos, very cool! Been into aviation for a long time and know the 737 by heart. Unfortunately my computer and home cockpit knowledge is not on par with it. Thank you so much for the videos!!
I really like the "Gull Wing" look of the Airplane landing. It's a Big and Beautiful Airplane. Qosmo, I finally got the MFD for my G1000 built and I'm testing it. I have about 70% of the MFD programmed but I have to go back into your videos to see how to reverse outer and inner dials and such. I can also swap wires should I need to and maybe I should. Keep up the good work. I'm following your channel.
Thanks Victor, if you're talking about encoders you could just swap the wires if they're not soldered yet. If they are just open the "input options" from the HCSCI menu within X-plane and move the encoder you want to change. You'll see the input number and the parameter thats assigned to it. Then just click the "inversion" box and click "save/reconnect" and voila! Done.
hey man I wanted to tell you that I really love and enjoy your videos, and I just finished building my 777 based MCP but something I wanted you to know is that now it's no more hcsci now it is real sim control with FINALLY custom parameters for payware aircraft and I've wanted to know if you can make a video about it because I want to use it so much on the 777 but I don't have any idea on how the thing works - Respect from Miguel
Hello Miguel, I'm aware of the name changes... again lol. I've been changing the titles and descriptions on all my previous videos again. Also I am going to make some videos on the custom keywords. I think that is one of the bet things to come to the plugin.
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your videos. They really help us make our own cockpit. Great videos! I've been watching your video titled : "Using DM13A LED Drivers In SimVim Cockpit" A silly question about, could you tell me the exact type of Power Supply do you use (V and Amp)? I'm afraid to get the wrong one and burn my Arduino Mega. I've seen one that provides 7.5V 400Am, but I'm not sure whether it's right or not for the purpose. Another question. How many Ohms had the resistance that you used in your test panel? And, just a last question. I want to make a cockpit that includes 2 pushbuttons, 7 rotatory encoders, 2 position switches, 1 rotatory switch, 1 LCD (16x2) and 6 red LEDs connected to a DM13A. Do you think I'll probably need extrapower (apart from the power provided by the USB connection)? Thanks in advance.
Hello Alejandro, thanks for your comment. The voltage you can use to power the Arduino can be from 5 to 9 V so that 7.5 is perfect, but if you are using an external one to power many LEDs or displays, you should get one with a higher amperage. The only thing that need to be inthat range is the voltage, you can use one with any amperage rating you want. The higher the Amperage, the more LEDs or displays you can use with it.
I think for what you want yo use in your build you dont even need an external power supply. Only if you plan to use more than like 20 LEDs or more than a few 7 segment displays. You can run tons of buttons, switches, and encoders with just the USB cable supplied power.
@@Qosmokid Thanks a lot for your quick feedback. Just one more thing. Could you explain to me how to calculate de minimum value to be used with a resistor? (I'm just getting into electronics). I would be very grateful if you take into account the following data: Input voltage (5V provided by USB power, I guess), 6 LEDs (2.0-2.2V, 20mA each). I've been watching a lot of tutorials about this. They apply the formula [Resistor value=(Imput voltage - (Voltage of 1 led x number of leds))/Amperage of each led], That would make it: (5-(2x6))/20. But it doesn't make sense as it makes it a negative value. Thanks again in advance.
@@alejandrorodriguez7502 Oops sorry never replied to this last one. Believe or not I still struggle with that myself sometimes. I think you got the formula a little wrong though. This page should help straighten that out: www.circuitspecialists.com/blog/how-to-determine-resistor-value-for-led-lighting/
Nice shot for landing 🥰👍👍👍

Thank you, im glad you get something out of them. Ill be putting new one up soon.

@@Qosmokid I knew that I watched you do it before. I thought it was in Hcsci. 🤣
Such a nice vantage point you have at lax, my airport sucks
Yes we are very fortunate with spotting locations at LAX

That thing looked like a building landing.
LOL, they are massive. I've missed not seeing those

The resistor depends on the input voltage and also how bright you want your LEDs, I think I used 680 Ohms
