[simpits-tech] Locomotive cab "pit"

[Ido Dekkers]

looks great,
Don't MS have an SDK for the sim like MSFS ?
If they do just get a phidget servo board and connect it all up.

Posted a handful of pic's in the file area under "other-general subject" of
my nearly complete GP38 locomotive sim.  Construction of the shell was
basic woodworking involving 2x2's and masonite for the interior skin.
Control stand is 1/2" MDF with real parts scrounged from the shops at work
and some lucky eBay purchases.  The gauges and speed recorder are non
functional until I can figure out how to interface the servo drives with
Microsoft Train Simulator.  All gauges and indicator panels are lit via 3V
bulbs.  Physical controls are triggered from an assortment of spst slide,
toggle, pushbutton switched and rotary encoders.  Everything is in process
of being wired into a Hagstrom KE72 and Rotary 5 module.  Additional pic's
and a mini review of the Rotary 5 module to come.
