Don LaFontaine just finished writing a serial library to pull FSUIPC data into an Arduino, so maybe that is something worth looking into... I sure would love to use those displays... if they are still operable<br><br><div><span name="x"></span><span name="x"></span><br></div><br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"Cris Harrison" <phoenixcomm@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Simulator Cockpit Builder's List" <simpits-tech@simpits.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Saturday, March 3, 2012 3:58:37 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [simpits-tech] New Toy for the KingAir B200 sim...<br><br>On 3/2/2012 11:14 PM, dabigboy@cox.net wrote:<br>> ---- Ray Sotkiewicz<raysot@comcast.net> wrote:<br>>> ...and just picked THESE up for a song! $25/pair<br>>><br>>> http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Sperry-ARC-Nav-Head-C-1048B-and-Head-C-1038B-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$(KGrHqR,!i!E8Y1GchYLBPPrRcE8Vw~~60_58.JPG<br>> NICE!

Someone here recently (I think it was Roberto) posted a video of a similar Collins head hooking into a few LEDs to demonstrate the ARINC 401 operation....it's just a big fancy switch, even on the digital units it appears all the display stuff happens entirely within the head itself.<br>><br>> Any pics of the King Air?<br>><br>> Matt<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Simpits-tech mailing list<br>> Simpits-tech@simpits.org<br>> http://www.simpits.org/mailman/listinfo/simpits-tech<br>> To unsubscribe, please see the instructions at the bottom of the above page.
