do you sell the .stl files for those magnetic switches? i’d love to 3d print those for myself

what font are used on this gauge panel ?

Excelent project. Congrats. One question, why you used 3 layers and not just 2. I mean the first layer could be (your second layer) the one which difuses light, painted black on the front, and engraved.? Thanks if you can answer.

Does having the projectors shoot across each other’s path cause image issues?

Absolute dream setup. Wish I could have something like this for my SimRacing rig!

Did you get your cockpit checked by a certified electrician?

How did you get just the HUD view?

Great series hovever I have come to a halt at the reference too, as there is nothing in the module drop down menu

you can easily turn arduino megas u16 into hid device using megajoy and flashing the firmware

Wonderful work, thanks for sharing !!!!

I love this project, and I want to use some of what you've done for a project of mine. I want to use this panel (the caution panel) as part of my vehicle. I have this in place of the idiot light in my 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD. If I could pick your brain that would be great.

Trying to wrap my head around this. Why not just use relays instead of mosfets? Is it because the arduino also communicates with the game?

wow amazing job! Is it possible to upload a video or tell somwthing about your panel backlighting?

These videos have been so freaking helpful!!!

What are the projectors? I tried so hard to figure out what you are saying but I just cant match them up to anything I can find on the internet.

That Leo bodnar pcb for the rotary switch is nothing more then a couple of resistor networks and it reads like an analog input. Pretty easy to make a similar PCB for a 10 position rotary, the other option is just solder resistors between the pins.

lol using the gun as a break is 5 head thinking.

I know nothing, but a few spring detents and pins might help you get the clicky action you want with those switches to keep them in place

bro's power bill must be insane

What you have created is absolutely amazing. In Germany there is a saying: "What is a hobby? The greatest possible effort with the least possible benefit!" Really brilliant, huge respect to you. Greetings, Thomas

Still cant get over how awesome your setup is. I started watching your "How To" videos on how you made a lot of that stuff and it just blows my mind. Its hard for me to understand the electronics but maybe one day i'll understand. Great job dude

Perfection mate, well done.

Their lack of reaction like "this guy again." was priceless 😂

That's amazing. Watching this four years later and I'm using an LG 42 Flex OLED for MSFS2020. I run it at full flex (900r), sitting about 28" away from the front/center of the screen. I also use the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, as I find it to really help with immersion. With current tech, my dream setup would be three 55" Samsung Odyssey Ark displays running each at 4K. I think I'd also use the Tobii, but just reduce the settings on it so it's not so sensitive. With future tech, I'm guessing 8K curved monitors will allow for such incredible immersion and high detail that VR googles might take back stage to them. The LG Flex OLED screen gives what I like to call a near 3D effect without the goggles...

I know it's been a while since you posted this. What vinyl wrap do you use? It's such a genius use of material I want to use it!

All your missing now is an HF8 seat pad for when you go fox-2🤌🏼

You could use hall sensors for it there are digital and analog hall sensors that can fit those functions. I believe there are three basic types of hall sensors and they are much less fragile and much more configurable.

Rad switch is shit

i luv the way you're making these panels! thanks for sharing

How do you get that thing, and how are there enough people with them to have multiplayer (it just looks like a really expensive or hard to get thing) ( **Im a new follower** )

hahaha i was eating my food

It's funny that KZfaq shared your channel with me; I'm a printer and maker, but I happen to have a deep love for the Warthog (outside KZfaq's algorithm's knowledge.) I expect I will be thrilled beyond belief as I explore your earlier content.

“Warthog Ball” is a phrase no LSO ever wants to hear 😂

That things awesome too bad the games graphics are trash

Wow, pretty neat. Question: do you need a big laser to do the paint etch on the top panel ?

I've only watched to 8:14 so far but it occurs to me that if the base magnet is replaced with a metal disc, the switch will still function the same, without conflicting magnetic fields. Just a thought. This is brilliant stuff by the way...👌

Love the craftsmanship! You could even use the magnets as connectors. Check out the Klicky probe for 3d printers.

Imagine being someone who worked on designing this part of the plane and watching this. Would be really fun to see all the creative approaches.

This Old Tony just released a video on over center mechanisms that I think you could definitely apply to some of your projects. Even for the three position switch, you could use an over center mechanism with a detent or magnet for the middle position. Awesome stuff!

First time seeing the channel, but this is amazing! Great work.

Just a quick tip regarding the hot glue, using IPA or any other alcohol to remove it, add alcohol so the hot glue is covered (or use a alcohol soaked paper towel an place it on top of the hot glue) for 10--20 sec, and the hot glue releases, and it is much more gentle to remove and less chance to break something.

Make a detent switch with springs and mini balls from a skateboard bearing mate. Will give you the detent that you want from the left hand switch. PM me if you need a bit of a guide. 😊

Is it possible to use laser projector in alternative ?

One more bit for accuracy... When the panel is switched off, the other levers are forced back to Normal Normal. The Mask Test is spring loaded to return to Normal if not held. Emergency and Mask Test will cause flow to be constant, and consequently Flow indicator will show white. Normal will only flow when a breath is taken (i.e. intermittently). Fantastic looking panel!

High class.

I'm not sure how i got here but I clicked on the vid cause I like both Halo Warthogs and the A10, figured i couldn't go wrong. I'm jealous cause i could never afford something this cool, but I also learned a few crafting tips! The masking tape to frame your laser cut before committing to it was genius, and the vinyl backing for the wiring was a great idea, too! Keep living the dream!!

For the three position, idve put a magnet up top too make your top and bottom positions have feedback i think.

Clean sweep :)

In my experience, you should have a thin layer of plastic between the magnets if possible to reduce the wear and tear of the magnets.
