Idea for a low budget avionics

Recommended Posts

Guest CaptnKebec

Hi everyone,Just like to share a idea,I didn't have the budget to buy IOcards and LED displays for now, so I build a switch panel to go on a monitor and develop a small application to show only the avionics display. I did it all with the monitor on the side. The program (in VB) display the data sideway.So if your on a tight budget it could be a nice thing instead of using a mouse and keyboard.Cheers,Michel.

Excellent job!(I've always thought someone should sell a kit just for the buttons and knobs to go over a monitor as you did.)Even better, you could eventually show the GPS map in this way.Kev
