Folks, Ive been following the thread of Marv's gauges and servo with
interest, they are a mighty fine peice of work.
Since I just opened the doors on my self hosted new website, I thought
it a good idea to quickly get some footage of what I've been doing up
there.
I have a couple of phidget 4 port servo board, working with my own
designed (very cheap) gauges driven by servo's working with my own
developed VB code, that interfaces FS2002 and drives everything nicely.
Im not saying they are without problems, I just havent had the time to
iron all the bugs out yet.
For those interested, I also have a prototype phidget LED (8x7seg
displays) and a phidget Rotary Encoder, also working with connections to
FS2002 and happily tuning the radios, all the while external to the sim.
It even works across a network with WideFS (in fact the lag is actually
decreased in my experience - dont quite know why just yet)
Anyway, for those interested, check out my website www.chrisb.co.nz for
details, look under "flight simulator projects" and then "software"
bottom right corner.
There are 3 small 30 second movies of the Servo Gauges and the LED in
action. For those with the Servo boards already you can also download my
VB code directly form this page too.
Have fun
Chris.
