Hey Everyone!
Today I will make engine instruments/gauges for my Cessna 172 Simulator. These include the Fuel Quantity, EGT, Fuel Flow, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Vacuum pressure, and Amperage. Next video I will configure these with MobiFlight, so look out for it!

Hello Everyone! I did not make this very clear, but I did not design these files. The author is here: www.thingiverse.com/alvaroalea/designs Have a great day!

Hey there Capt I looked for those servos on ebay and they do not list those any longer. You recommend anything else for the replacements?

@CaptainBobSim Жыл бұрын

The Blue Micro Servo (9g) are standard and any should work. Just make sure it doesn't say "continuous"

Cap, a little confused about the 3D Build. I plan on building 2 of these. I know I will need for each of them 2 s90’s, 1 Background plate, 1 base bracket, 1 Bezel, 1 chanfer, 1 ring, 2 servo horns, 2 white needles, and 18-gauge wire. Confusion is that more than one bezel is listed - a 54mm bezel and a and an external bezel. Which do I need to print?

@CaptainBobSim 4 жыл бұрын

It is up to personal preference (The size of the hole) You could do a test print if needed, or put it into a CAD program.

I’m little bit curious to see why you’d select one motor type over the other. How about the x27 motors? Are they too week or to large for this project?

@CaptainBobSim 9 ай бұрын

I didn't, I found the files online :) I redesigned this for X27 and will show it in a future video The servos do have automatic positioning though which is nice!

I'll have to do that 😀 I just got another arduino, so now I can program all of the instruments at one :)

What can I get in the way of help to build 8 primary flight instruments if I join with the $20.00 option?

@CaptainBobSim 5 ай бұрын

Hi Kaellis! I can provide some guidance in your process. Unfortunately I have limited capabilities during the school year,.

@kaellis8250 4 ай бұрын

I need to start with something simple for which I can use my X27 168 stepper motor. My 3d printer will take care of the housing and I have some experience with graphics software but do not have photoshop.

I put these both on my list of videos to do in the future, so I won't forget.
