The simulator girl

I will mostly post here about my A320 home cockpit work and about setting up the simulator at chaos events.

Running #flightgear and been contributing since 2017.

Portugal hat wie 🇩🇪 ein 49€ Ticket. Doch anstatt den Preis wie bei uns zu erhöhen, weil Wissing sich weigert, die Mehrkosten zu übernehmen, hat Portugal angekündigt den Preis demnächst auf 20€ zu senken & sogar auf Intercity Züge auszuweiten. Der 🇵🇹 Ministerpräsident Luís Montenegro begründete die Preissenkung damit, dass man in die Menschen, die Umwelt und die Zukunft investieren wolle. Genau das ist der Mut den es für eine echte Verkehrswende braucht & den wir in 🇩🇪 gerade so dringend bräuchten!

@michaelosthege Those are pads for addressable RGB LEDs

Doing it this way allows deciding on wanting to build the EFIS with or without the OANS option instead of requiring 2 different pcbs...

also built the first push-pull mechanic on the shaft of a rotary encoder... so far it's been just an idea of how it could work... now I have it in my hand and yes, it does indeed work, just needs a bit of tweaking and adjustments!

This evenings crimes...

3D rendering of a PCB. In the center of the image are some through hole pads. They belong to a rotary encoder and a rotary switch. They have she same axis so one can only use on of them. Around this constellation of through holes is a ring of pads for addressable RGB LEDs.

Duckduckfedi, i need help finding a human written article about how to choose background music for a video. Bonus if they don't wanna sell/promote any service which offers such music! Any hints?

Dreaming of your own Airbus cockpit? ✈️

We are proud to sponsor @flyfly's Open Source A320 Home Cockpit. Built with KiCad, Rust, and 3D printing, this project turns a "wire mess" into a sleek, reproducible simulator.

Am on it now for 3h... I can initialize the display... but for what ever reason, I fail to send some data to display...

again about 30-60 min work, and the indicator LEDs on the device work properly and the integ light and display backlight work too...

Now on to the tedious and time consuming task... getting the display to run... that's gonna be a nightmare!

My DIY MCDU vs an off the shelf one

Both MCDUs side by side, they have the same layout but vary in minor details. The color of mine is a light gret while the one on the right is a darker blueish grey

Less than an hour and the inputs of the winwing MCDU I got lend is fully mapped to the A320 in #flightgear

When I arrived the sim ran on MSFS under Windows... now it is running Linux and #flightgear 😈

@twe yeah, I probably should expand the tutorial to guide you to the destination...

Using the AP would have to be something external (ig put it on the website)

Full FMS setup is beyond the scope that makes sense.

As for alternate and direct law... I could add a key binding to bring up the law override dialog.

Thanks for the ideas.

I hate constantly getting slowed down by running out of parts... Stocked up on many electrical parts, now I'm running out of screws aaa

Fixed the ender... so glad to have it working again... just love how it's "click print and forget"!

I was a lil bit wrong on the cause tho, there wasn't filament broken off inside but some of the previous filament was somewhere in the extruder and blocked the path

@beachcomber @munin when I read "web forums", I don't think about reddit or so, I think of good old phpBB, which was often hosted by the project them self and imo a great way to share things

Hot take:

Discord is not a documentation platform. It is a chat platform. If your project requires connecting to a discord to obtain necessary information, then your project is undocumented.

@danielHL @clolsonus I wanted to have a video tutorial, but I 1) didn't have another screen I could show it on and 2) not the time to make that video...

@clolsonus idk what I would even have to change for that? More story telling in the tutorial text? It was mostly co-op anyways cause beings were around, helping beings who know less etc.

wondering if there's some feedback on what I could improve for this years congress?
Less in terms of sim hardware and software (that will develop in the mean time anyways) but the around it... like, instructions, tutorial etc?
