Great job sir. You're a freak-in genius. There's however only 1 thing I would add and that's a piece of car window tint to the Two digital displays to darken the lit digits and to hide the unlit digits cause the way you have it now being un-tinted just doesn't look right. Aside from that very well done sir.......PROPS to you. 👍😃
Beautiful build! You can improve contrast on those LED displays by putting a darkish yellow/amber gel over them. It'll vastly tone down the ambient visibility of the "off" segments, while the lit segments will be just as bright. :)
Are you able to elaborate on this? I find this to be the difference between what you would see in the real deal vs DIY projects. What kind of gel/product are you talking about? Cheers mate.
Sure. A lighting gel (colored thin plastic) can be placed over the 7-segment displays to improve the contrast. If you match the color of the gel with the color of the light, then it will darken the frame of the digit segments without making the light any less dim.
Thank you, Will! It's fantastic to hear that you find the instructions helpful! I put a lot of effort into creating them, so it's rewarding to know that they are being put to good use.
from @29:47 the top right display's digits are the wrong way around eg shows 10 instead of 01. Even more noticable from @30:19 where it shows 70 instead of 07 (only 60 minutes in an hour :) )
Thank you! Looking back, this was how i always wanted to create the chriono, but this wanst really posible until i learnt how to create PCB's and owned a laser.
Thank You Karl! Another great addition to the sim. I have finished the MCP & EFIS and now working on the FMC with MTU to follow. I'll be ordering parts for the clock shortly. Again, thanks for the terrific projects and all the additional support work on youtube and in the build guides.
3 Things: On your website clicking any of the optional items in the parts guide points to an invalid address: 737%20chrono%2C%20737%20clock A piece of yellow tinted film would improve readability of the led displays inmensely. The seconds hand lags behind the digits changing, it looks off. Maybe you can change the settings so it "lands" at the tick instead of start moving at the tick. Great build.
Good morning! I noticed that the second hand lagged exactly one second until the end of the video. The clock started from -1 instead of 0. I corrected this by using the compare tab in Mobiflight and changing the value from -1 to 0. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Also, I have just received a roll of window tint suggested by a Patreon member. They pointed out that this makes the 7 segments much more readable, which I have a go at soon. Kind Regards, Karl
Love watching your videos. can i ask where you get your sizes from? as in have you been in a real cockpit and measured actual sizes? or is there a recourses site that can give you real world sizes for items.
Very good product. Do you have video for the Flaps in your website ❤how to set it up with prosim737 however I will not go farther than the flaps drowning i bought from you. Thank you very much.
@@helimech8152 one of the things I think most of us that follow you appreciate about your work is that not only do you care about Engineering but you have a really fantastic eye for detail and interface and fidelity! Today I made the leap to your patreon, such a pleasure to support your work.
Hello, guys! Could you please provide me a link to purchase those thin white cables that Heli always uses in his videos? The video/product was absolutely brilliant, as it always is!
Hi Samuel, I have been workingon the TDEC/TADS project in the background, but I have temporarily paused the design process to focus on completing the 737SS first.
Hello Adam! I kindly suggest trying again, as the link appears to be working on my end. However, it's possible that the link you're using hasn't been updated by me yet.
I would like this as a desktop clock ! 😀
It's run off an Arduino Mega. Put a real time clock on it and jumble some of your own code and it will do just that.

I have no need for this and I want to build everything on this channel. Absolutely amazing work. I love it. I wanna see a full 6 pack!
haha, Coming soon!

Another great project! Epic! I always enjoy your excitement as you bring these things to life!!
Just fantastic!!!
I always enjoy watching your videos, they help me build the 737SS.
Thank you!
If, many years ago, I had such a father...
I started building my 737 sim by following your guides, just want to thank you for all your work and detailed instructions!

This was a great project and your detailed explanations were spot on perfect. Awesome job!

Thanks a bundle for a great video. And programming is NOT boring when you do it :D
Phenomenal resource and an endless source of inspiration. Thanks Karl!
Time 32:28 just realised prosim says 21:09 and your chrono is 21:90. 21:10 is ok
Well done mate, that is the business.
Thank You Karl! Another great addition to the sim. I have finished the MCP & EFIS and now working on the FMC with MTU to follow. I'll be ordering parts for the clock shortly. Again, thanks for the terrific projects and all the additional support work on youtube and in the build guides.
Thanks for sharing another great video and project. Watching you program isn't boring to me I always learn something from your videos!
Thank you, Gary. The programming has stimulated those old brain cells and got me thinking again. It has been a long time since I last used FSUIPC.
Great build.....! yet another display of wisdom on how to "do your sim"! I love your work, it does look amazing. Keep them coming!
You are incredible! 👏
You are the best man!! Pure genius
Humbled! Thank you!
Great job ! Always a pleasure to watch :)
Thanks for sharing Karl really Great work as usual

Very well done. How do you get the grey color on the visible parts of your 3D printed parts. Spray them with Boeing gray colour ?
Excellent work, Karl! 👍😎
Thank you as always!
Amazing Job!!!
Very good product. Do you have video for the Flaps in your website ❤how to set it up with prosim737 however I will not go farther than the flaps drowning i bought from you. Thank you very much.
Loved it! You do the decal plates with white acrylic? Or do you have a new trick to allow backlit panels?
Hello, no they are white acrylic, painted then laser etched.
I love your builds, would all these new components your making work on the full 737 simulator?
Absolutely loved it! What a beauty.
Thank you! Many hours went into this lol. Both the video and the design.

Lovely clock, but it’s no TEDAC,,, still awaiting for that one 👍

Amazing
Thank you!
do you plan to release a G1000 V2 video ? I noticed it does nor require arduino, so i dont know if i should buy the V2.
I dont want to build a real cockpit but I would build this one with an actual clock drive in it to place as real clock on my multisim
If you are making an Apache pit would you make a TADS?
Hi Samuel, I have been workingon the TDEC/TADS project in the background, but I have temporarily paused the design process to focus on completing the 737SS first.
@@helimech8152 cool! Can't wait!
Hi Karl, the website that you put on the description doesn't seem to work.. Please help!!!
The webiste is in the process of being transferred from wix to wordpress. it should be up and running soon
you must have plenty of paracetamol at hand making these videos, very much appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi Karl, where can i find this PCB? The website link doesnt seem to work.
Hello Adam! I kindly suggest trying again, as the link appears to be working on my end. However, it's possible that the link you're using hasn't been updated by me yet.
needle is on second behind
I think you mean, "The needle is one second behind"
