Hi
My name is Rhys and this is my first post, so first things first hello.
I am about to start building a helicopter simulator from the old cockpit of a Hughes 300, using real helicopter controls.
I was going to use the plasma lite from Betainnovations but sadly they have closed.
I want to use linear potentiometers to connect to the helicopter control rods in the cockpit but I am not sure what interface to use between the potentiometers to the computer.
I would love some advice on what methods would be best to interface the aircraft controls to the computer.
Thanks
Rhys
