Hello David, I have so much of the stuff from recycled aircraft I need to find a use for it! But it's much bulkier, as you know, than standard 22 or 24 AWG wire. However, for seven-segment displays, it helps. Kind Regards Karl
Some great tips here like the strain relief loop on the shielded cable, marking and hole cutting perfboard and 3D printing mountings to keep things looking tidy. Really wish I'd gone into avionics when I left school instead of IT!
Hi Dave, thank you. Some of the things i really struggled with was getting the networks to talk and especially open cockpits FMC on one machine to use the other machines data. I bet you wouldn't even have to think about it!
Great video and fantastic work. Enjoyed the detail and explanations, even though I have little knowledge of electronics other than soldiering and one term at engineering school before I shifted to law. Now you've got me missing this.
@@helimech8152 I just saw this amazing guy from Mikey's Flightdeck. You might be interested as he is also making a 737 cockpit and builds his own PCP using CNC: ua-cam.com/video/0a86QuS29nI/v-deo.html
Hello Karl, Beautiful work here. I was would like to know how you removed the or desoldered the displays from the blue board? So I can do the same. Thank You
Hello! As soon as everything is fully operational, i will go back and produce PCB's. This will simplify the whole process for everyone including myself. But for the time being, im still finding things where i need to add something, something doesn't quite work anymore. Its coming Though!
Hi Mickey, how's you and I hope this finds well back home. Thank you, I never meant for the video to be that long, and as you guessed the footage amount over 4 weeks was huge. Especially when using two cameras. I didn't think this video would do that well, (watching somebody wire manage isn't really the most captivating process) but thought I'd give it a go. From the video stats, it actually seems people do skip through to the parts that are relevant to them. Which is ideal. Especially when I remember starting out and thinking I wonder how you go about this. How are you getting on with the overhead panels? Keep safe and kind regards karl
@@helimech8152 To help the people find faster what they are interested in you could add some timestamps in the video description. So they can directly jump to parts. This works if your video can be devided into some logical chapters. I'm doing some filming for explaining the cable management in the cockpit at the moment. And I try to produce my first pcb on my cnc router. For an electronic noob like me this is a very big topic. We will see if this will come to a good end. During these times we're not allowed to go out much so there is always a bit of time for working on the cockpit.
Thank you so much for the video! Love the Tiger in the background :) Thanks to your designs in thingiverse I have finally completed the eyebrow windows! I am busy with throttle now, but radios are on my to do list as well, thanks to this video I can plan the work carefully. Keep up the great work you are doing!
Another cracking video 👍🏻 I wish I had your knowledge and ability. Inspiring but I’m not really tool savvy 😂😂 keep them coming as they’re great to watch and I can’t wait to see the full cockpit up and running 👍🏻👍🏻 stay safe 😷😷 cheers 🍻
Hi Daren, Thank you. Great motivation for me and that i'm hopefully heading in the right direction with the videos. I too am looking forward to getting it all up and working!
Hi Simon, I think that is because the software was in debug mode. I haven't noticed any lag for a while, especially with Sebastian's new updates in MF. Kind Regards Karl
how do you connect the 6 Digit tubes to the Max7219 board (wiring scheme)? I can't figure out, how to connect them. a short discription is highly apprecciated ;) thanks a lot:)
Thanks for this excellent video. I am looking for the dual radioknobs. Is it possible to put the stl files on the website please? I am starting the build of my pedestal soon.
Hi mate I love these videos I’m going to be starting my sim soon and was wondering if your cockpit plans included panels for the over head and such for me to cut them on a CNC. Also would you be able to do a tutorial on how you send files from fusion to the cnc and how you set the cutter where to cut on the material. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Hi Lewis, great to hear from you. When i go back and re-create the map panels, i will take all this into consideration and try to cover as much as i can. Its very simple once the design is in fusion, I normally click the manufacture tab, select the outlines i want to cut and export the file to mach 3. But looking back, actually, i do remember that was quite a lot to learn! Thank you and consider it done in the near future. Kind Regards Karl

Hi Karl. Are you using the Pedestal with Prosim? I don't see you enter any offsets into Prosim. When I enter an offset into comm 1 active (testing things at the moment), Prosim keeps restarting itself when I load a P3D flight. Thanks.. Ian
Hi Ian, That really doesn't seem right. Never had prosim restart. I don't think I have listed my pedestal offsets as i'm still building it at the mo. But you should be able to use the default comm1 offsets in MF or FSUIPC.
