[simpits-tech] ATC-510 Simulator [message #2226]

Hi Folks,

I am looking at buying an old ATC-510 desktop simulator and retrofitting the
controls to a more modern control system. Has anyone worked with one of
these in the past and can share some experiences with these units? Just
curious if I am wasting my time and money. I figure it would be a good
starting point for a basic simulator.

Curious on your input.

Regards,

Bill

Great minds think alike. ;)
I am (not) doing the same - after an initial burst of activity my project
has been dormant for a long time.
The basic plan was to use as much as possible of 510's mechanics, gauges,
etc., while discarding all the electronics and replace them with a few
microcontroller boards with an USB interface to the PC running the
simulator. Can exchange more detailed notes later.
