Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a generic cockpit, mainly focusing on the electronic part.
I would like to work just with Arduino or other cheap microcontrollers, without using expensive input cards.
At the moment I am trying to implement some generic inputs and I am planning to start developing generic gauges soon (I am in favour of old style gauge wrt modern screens)
For the sw I use FSX.
At the moment I am implementing an interface with simconnect but I am not yet sure this is the way to go over FSUIPC.
Anyway thank you for hosting me and I am looking forward to a great collaboration.
Of course any suggestion is welcome
Hi Andy,
Welcome to the group.
I am using FSUIPC (LUA Script) To communicate with my Arduino.... Works for me..
Nice to have you here.

actully our man Phil has arduino solutions that actully work you may want to touch base with him .... you can thank me later

Thank you! I will definitely contact him, although I was looking more towards development suggestions rather than pre-made some software packages as I quite enjoy coding Arduino

Thank you I will have a look at that as well

I have heard a lot about FSUIPC, even used it for some basic interface, but I sort of have the idea that simconnect, as is provided by Microsoft, should work better / allow to do more stuff.
It's like I am a bit afraid that I do all the work with FSUIPC just to realize when I am well under way that I need some advance features nor supported by FSUIPC.
It's just a thought though

Lol FSUIPC has been around many more years then Simconnect. But I will let you ponder that. FSUIPC talks directly to simconnect. Either way, I doubt you will be able to get very far with a simulator without requiring FSUIPC at some point.
But take it from someone with experience. FSUIPC is better and more versatile then dealing directly with simconnect.

Ok thank you, I will start looking that way then
Wow one day and this forum has already proven full of interesting answers, Thank you!

you want Phil for arinic
Hi Andy,
i'm working on a marchetti SF260 cockpit and will be interfacing real instrument, reworked with servos, with arduino and fsuipc.
now learning how to program arduino
so i be following you threads
