Description<\/strong>
\nThis is a pretty loose project that has been going on for a while. The idea is to make at least 3 hardware panels and the controllers necessary to operate Ron Monsen’s Eagle Lander 3D<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So far I’ve experimented with using switches connected to a keyboard encoder from Hagstrom Electronics<\/a>, an old Microsoft Sidewinder<\/a> and a 3dconnexion SpaceNavigator 3D<\/a> for controlling the simulator with good results.<\/p>\n

I just found this piece of hardware online, and it looks really promising since it can output keyboard macros: PoKeys55T<\/a><\/p>\n

The plan ahead is to get some metal panels CNC’ed from the CAD-drawings I’ve made of panel 1,2 and 3 (see Files-section) and equip them with switches and if possible; gauges.<\/p>\n


\nProgress so far:<\/strong>
\nCAD-drawing of panel 1,2 & 3<\/a> – DXF-format (drawn with QCAD<\/a>)
\nPDF of panel 1 &2 (A0)<\/a>
\nPDF of panel 3 (A0)<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some\u00a0 VERY crude pictures from my very first setup using the Hagstrom keyboard encoder connected to a couple of switches.<\/p>\n

At least they give an idea of what the project is about, although the full-size panels are almost incomparable in size \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
