Somebody stole my plane radio, and now I sit in radio silence.

Just built it about a week ago. It isn’t as complicated as I thought it was. Thank you! Can’t wait for a new video!

Well done, Trevor - smart and entertaining as always. You've inspired me to add a radio to my three-mile to-do list.

Very nice! Everything you did here was literally my job for 20 years, and I loved it. Engineers would design a prototype and give me the schematics, and sometimes mechanical drawings. I would procure the parts needed and figure out how to build it. Your build looks very professional. I look forward to all your vids.

Just finished a build of this, thanks for the content! Only difference is that I used an Arduino Nano, which has just enough pins to fit. Most of the mobiflight config carries over the same, there are just a few things that need to shuffle around eg A6/D20 and A7/D21 aren't GPIO pins so didn't work with the encoder

Nice to see you still working on the 172 panel projects, Trevor. Using the 7-segment displays makes for a perfect replica of the old BK radios in the steam gauge panels of that time. Excellent work!

@danytovar5715 7 ай бұрын

Hello, thank you for the video, how can I make it possible that when the radio turns off, the 7 segment displays also turn off?

@CaptainBobSim 7 ай бұрын

Add a config row that reads the radio status as a button press then connect a precondition to the display rows that only activates if the row reads 1.

@polar_baer Жыл бұрын

I sadly know next to nothing about Arduinos or soldering or electronics in this sense... Will you sell these on the CaptainBob site? And if so, will the module be plug-and-play when it arrives? (Very new to this, sorry if that was a silly question!

@CaptainBobSim Жыл бұрын

Hello! I've decided not to sell this on the website just yet but I could make a "one off" for you. Email captainbobsim@gmail.com if interested. It wouldn't be plug and play but setup would be easy (and I can help you with it).

Awesome video man, using your channel as a bible for my home sim setup

@CaptainBobSim 11 ай бұрын

Hello! I'm glad you could find it helpful! I did something very similar to this with my LCD generic radio: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oa-Uqsiitb6ZkZc.html&pp=ygUVbGNkIHJhZGlvIGNhcHRhaW4gYm9i You can write the variable to switch between 0 & 1 on press then apply a precondition to a set of rough knob rows and fine knob rows. Make a new input row, set it to write @ (the button position), read it in output then make the percondition based on the output tab (if this makes sense).

Thanks for your excellent tutorials. Do you know if ARDUINO ONE has any problem with the Max7219 7-segment display. I have configured it and it only works for a few seconds, but then it no longer shows the numbers on the display.

@CaptainBobSim 7 ай бұрын

Hello! If the lights are still on on the arduino and mobiflight reflects the numbers you want I would reach out to PropWashSim to see if it is a faulty display or not.

@danytovar5715 7 ай бұрын

Hello CaptainbobSim, thank you very much for responding quickly. Apparently the problem was caused by the ARDUINO UNO, I replaced it with an ARDUINO MEGA and I had no more problems. I have seen several of your videos, great contribution to the community, you are the best@@CaptainBobSim

Dear Captain Bob I builded the hardware of your radio. The problem I have is when I started to develop the software I discovered that your instruction are on an old version of Moby flight Mega. The one I have is 2.5.1 and is completely different from yours. Now I do not know how to procede. Can you help me ? Thanks Lucio

Can you show us how to build something actually usefull such as a pizza of sorts?

@CaptainBobSim 10 ай бұрын

Unfortunately pizza is outside of the scope of this channel. As a busy college student I only have so much time to make videos and cannot comprehensively make videos for every useful topic. For example, right now I'm focusing on my Cessna 172 Analog variant. I haven't had time to revamp the instruments with advanced zeroing and such. I would consider making for example a pizza simulator in the future, but still pizza the food is outside of the scope of this channel. Good day sir.

Hi Trevor, we chatted earlier, how are you doing? How did you get the letters printed out nice? I tried another type of faceplate, drew it myself but the letters were very badly printed. Maybe it's the font (what font did you use?). I'm trying out a piece of your faceplate, still 9 minutes for the print to be ready. Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work! Update: The piece I printed from your faceplate is not as clear as it should be. Struggling with the letters.... can anyone tell me how to setup my printer to make a nice print? I think the solutions is in the fine adjustment, but what exactly?

Hello Jan! I did these on my Ender 3S1 with mostly stock settings. These are done in Arial Bold, you'll want to make sure your text is big enough to show on your slicer. Which printer and slicer are you using?
