slag Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I have been playing FSX for a while now and I am trying to make my Helicopter cockpit better. So I am going to invest in an Arduino to make my own radio stake with Link2fs. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slag Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have been looking at most of the small projects on Jim's Page http://www.jimspage.co.nz/intro.htm He has some great suggestions and step by step tutorials to get through the process of making a radio stack for a Bell 206 helicopter for FSX. I am going to go out and buy a Arduino starter kit from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8KOZF4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1) and these relays (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E0NTPP4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ADHH624DX2Q66&psc=1) I am hoping to start this project. Also for any other avionics for my cockpit I was going to use some 10 inch raspberry pi monitors with touchscreen capabilities. I will be posting more threads for my drawn up design of my cockpit.

slag Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I am going to use raspberry pi monitors for their easy use and connectivity to a Arduino and a regular computer. Also if I haven't mentioned I have a Ibuypower Trace 940 to run all these systems I am also going to download the Link to FSX program tonight. Thanks fro any response and if you have any suggestions or questions please respond to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slag Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have been messing around on Tinkercad,a great website to create circuits and Arduino project schematic's without a download of an app, and have created a basic circuit to run an LCD display. The link2fs should take care of the receiving and broadcasting data on the screen, But for this model I just wrote it in the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
