Flightsimulator controller for Airbus A320
Hi everyone,
I wanted to show you my Arduino projects. As an avid flight simulator enthusiast, I was somewhat frustrated by the process of inputting settings for the autopilot and various other controls. I needed a solution for this. I came across the software Mobiflight, which acts as an interface between the Arduino/Raspberry Pi and the simulator. Initially, no actual programming is required—just configuration. Later on, however (when incorporating OLED displays), I did have to modify the code.
After a few initial experiments, I eventually decided—due to space constraints—to mount the entire Arduino directly onto a custom-designed circuit board. All components were designed and 3D-printed by me; the front panels were cut using a CO2 laser, painted, and then engraved.
The modules are fully functional and can handle all inputs just like in the simulator. The design was intended to be as close as possible to that of the real aircraft.
The modules include an FCU (Flight Control Unit) flanked by left and right EFIS units.
There is also a radio panel for switching radio frequencies.
And a simplified overhead panel for managing fuel pumps, the APU, and engine settings for startup.
I built these modules before the Winwing products were released.
