My King Air 200 DIY Simulator

Here is a video of my King Air 200 Simulator.

I started building in Sept 2018 (about 2.5 years ago).
Software is FSX, link2fs, and AirManager.
2 Arduino Megas, 13 Arduino Unos, 11 I/O expansion boards. Over 400 feet of hookup wire in the build.

Enjoy.

Re: Arduino connected but not working after V4 upgrade

I too have the same problem. Hardware was working fine with AM 3.7. Upgraded to AM 4.0. Reflashed the (chinese knockoff) UNO from AM 4.0. Updated the plugins for FSX. In the Home tab, it shows the Arduino as connected. But the hardware only works from the "Create/Edit" tab when you click &...

Re: Only 2 rotary encoders possible?

I moved ALTIMETER DIAL to D8 and D9. I disconnected everything else (switches, LEDs). No change. I tried with two other encoders. Still no change. BTW, each circuit is verified to work with a test sketch. The problem isn't the wiring or encoders. Finally, I tried with a UNO, and everything worked. :...

Re: Only 2 rotary encoders possible?

I really appreciate you helping Keith, but I'm still having issues. Now the Altimeter encoder is not working. I have uploaded your code, and posted the screenshot. I can verify that everything is connected correctly, because I made a test sketch that checks all the functionality of the LEDs, Buttons...

Re: Only 2 rotary encoders possible?

Hi Do you get this error in the console?? INFO - logic.lua:13: Failed to bind hardware id's to connected hardware Try and test using "Named hardware" instead of "Hardware Id's". It is far better than assigning the hardware in the script. IMHO I just altered your code slightly. C...

Re: Only 2 rotary encoders possible?

Here are more details. Like I said, an arduino test sketch shows that all the connections are correct. I can swap the encoder wires with the different instruments, but it is almost always the radar altimeter that fails to function. Code for "Beechcraft 1900D - Altitude Alerter" (uses pins ...

Re: Air Manager 3.5 will not start - OpenJDK Platform has stopped working

Just to followup (sorry for the delay), the issue was a remote usb hub that I was using. For some reason, that was causing Air Manager to crash. Corjan was able to isolate the source of the problem, and I believe that it is fixed (although I cannot verify at the moment).

SOLVED: Only 2 rotary encoders possible?

(Edit: The problem is with the Nano with the "Old Bootloader". Installing a UNO bootloader solved the problem.) Hi, I've been struggling with this for a couple days now. I have a custom panel built, and it will have 3 rotary encoders interfacing with AM. One for the Altitude Alerter, one ...

Re: Air Manager 3.5 will not start - OpenJDK Platform has stopped working

I added airmanager.exe and bootloader.exe as Windows firewall exclusions, as well as to Avast antivirus. I also installed all the recent Windows updates. No change - OpenJDK still crashes before AirManager can open.

I'll send you a PM Corjan.

Air Manager 3.5 will not start - OpenJDK Platform has stopped working

Hello, I just updated to Air Manager 3.5 from 3.4. I got the following error message. After a complete reinstall the same message comes up. Running Windows 8.1. I updated Java, and no change.
