Imagine all the hell that will be unleashed in these FSX networked games
with all kinds of aircraft and ATC.
There's gonna be an A-Hole or two flying in and around major airport blowing
shit up.

I doubt that. I suspect that their multi-player wouldn't play nice with
the existing VATSIM network. Even if it does, only folks that have
purchased the add-on would see the results from ordinance releases.

I felt this project important enough to modifiy one of my breadboards. This is my FSUIP --> USP --> Arduino --> [Something hopefuly easy?] --> Aircore Motor (Whee!)
As you can see from the pic, the distance between the Arduino and the Aircore motor is a painfully vast and unforgiving waste-land..... I've crossed greater distances through the eye of a needle, but none so unfamiliar.......

Very nice Ray! Shame about the breadboard though. :)
I would suggest you check out this thread:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1271537811
The guy is using an L293D chip to drive his air core motor with. Note
that if you have a copy of either BSAI or BRFS, there are schematics in
both books for driving air cores with a micro controller. Mike likes
PICs, but the connections are essentially identical for Atmel uCs.
(different pins)

I'm having doubts about using Arduino to drive Aircore gauges from the FSUIPC libraries.
The card is installed and I have to Arduino software libraries installed and a basic project loaded to make an LED blink. It can blink like there's no tomorrow (5ms crest/valley 50% duty cycle) My interface to the aircores will be via the CS8190 Pulse to SOS/COS driver IC. (Much like a tach)
The problem is, I see no way to integrate the FSUIPC libraries to the Arduino Development Environment, and likewise, no way to integrate the Arduino Libraries to something Like Visual Studio.
So far all I can do is create/load a Sketch file onto the card and change the blink rate.
Even if I used a H-Bridge IC to drive the aircores... How could I send FSUIPC data to the card? I'll drop by the Arduino forums as well....

Ray, you'll do it serially. The FTDI serial chip on the Arduino board
will have a 0% error rate at a 250,000 bits per second data rate.
You'll write FSUIPC code to pump data to the Arduino - that's what I do
for the light driver I did.

Mouser.com (They even had a 16-pin DIP package...)
I think they were $2.59 or something...

Where did you find the CS8190 chip? How does the price compare to an
H-bridge chip?

I have the chip breadboarded and working(somewhat); When I power it up the aircore moves. but so far no response yet in following the digital freq set by arduino. Arduino is putting out a nice 0/+5v square wave...
I am going to Fryes tonight to pick up the other discrete components. I was all out of .1uf caps and the circuit calls for a few of them to work with the ICs internal charge pump.
I suspect that once I get the few R/C circuits added and a bit more tweaking, I'll have an aircore that's responsive.
...then it's beer-time!

Thanks Ray. I'm wondering how much easier it would be to run multiples of
those as opposed to the H-bridge chips...

After a run to Frys, and some experimenting with R/C values in the
charge-pump & Trim circuit, I can get about 300 degrees of needle
deflection by cycling a digital output with timings between 100ms and 7ms.
There are still some resolution issues but I think the major hurdles
have been cleared.
One CS8190 chip gave up his little life for the cause. I think it's
called 'Thermal Runaway'? (9 left :-)
I'm going to do a short video on it so folks can see this...

Although I smoked my first Arduino card, I'm not giving up on this yet...
After some research, I was able to pick up some Serial-to-Aircore driver ICs...
This may pan out to be a very nice solution. Read a Address-Byte/Data-Byte from the USB port, determine which chip the data belongs to, then clock in the data byte.
(At least that's the theory... Should have a new Arduino card soon...

For data to work, it must be beautiful :-)
Yep! Gonna fight those H-Bridges every step of the way.
The Serial link seems a more elegant solution. I could [probably] get the arduino to work supporting multiple h-bridges but I think the timing issues would really be a problem (for me) since the Arduino is a single-threaded system.
In my upcoming attempt I'm excited about grabbing a byte, then sending it to the appropriate aircore driver. Seems simple...
(As long as I don't smoke check Arduino #2 things should go much better!)

Well keep in mind that if memory serves, you don't need multiple threads
to drive those things. You set a value on the port and it'll stay there
until you tell it otherwise. I could be wrong of course - I haven't had
time to play with them yet.
What chip did you find for driving the air-cores serially?

It's a good reason to keep some of the ATMega328 PDIP based versions of
the Arduino handy. If you cook it, you just stick the bootloader on a new
one and go. You'll need to build an ICP cable or have an STK500 (or
similar) programmer to burn the bootloader on it though.

Got me some of these:
CS4122
Mouser still has them. I've never soldered a SOIC device before... looks like a trip to Fryes is warranted!

Ow. I hope you don't need many, they're an EOL part and no visible
replacement.
