Realtime Sensor Data .....

Able to send now real-time 6 DOF sensor data via my BFF bridge to BFF and from there to the Thanos Board :-)

FTBC

Making progress with Thanos-Board Configurator :-)
It simplyfies PID tunning, allows to configure the board directly from the PC, manages several profiles and has an oscilloscpe to display sensor signals

Going to the limits with DIRT 3 ...

... and also at 3 AM Tony hasn't stopped driving :-)

Tested Ian's BFF with LFS - that IS awesome!

No doubts: Ian's BFF got Surge, Sway and Yaw cue out of the gate in such a great quality that 6DOF became a must! 

Happy New Year !!!!

Tim completed his Drone and successfully tested it in the air... 

... motions arriving on the ground...

... still looking how to send the motions to the platform.... hoping to find a way how to use Ian's BFF or x-Sim...

That would be real flying ... almost... whereas really real is still different :-)

Real Cessna Throttle and Mixture ...

Thanks to Martin Feist giving the right pointers and guidance, Vansaircraft for the HW and Lars for the assembling!

I'm using follow components:

- Throttle & Mixture including the long cables from a real Cessna.

- There I'm using 10k Ohms potentiometers sliders like they are used in sound mixers

- Joystick Board: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=94

1. The long cables have a screw thread at the end --> Simple to connect with the potentiometers

2. Connect the potentiometers to one of the analog inputs with true 12-bit resolution from the Joystick Board. Check here: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=180

--> After that, your mixture and throttle appear like a regular joystick

Enhancing Cockpit

Made pretty good progress with PID tuning, can be set now to be really smooth like in a plane. Currently embedding the learning into a little tool allowing to configure and auto-tune directly the board from Thanos.
Added finally my dream: Fully working G1000! (entire Cockpit mounting can be done with 4 screws). Using HW from Emuteq and SW from Flight1tech.

Created HOTAS console mounting kit for play seat, allowing to swap from Car to HOTAS within 1 minute:
