So i was kicking around the idea of building my own multi radio. reason being i am limited to the number of displays i have avail. i was wondering if anyone has done this and if so if they could point me in the direction of some examples. im thinking of combining com1 and ILS. oh yeah i fly the level d too.
Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim, I am at the same stage as you. What software you are using? MSFS, X-Plane? I have now very good results with Teensy ++ board and Arduino. I use 7-segment displays controlled with MAX7219 chips, very straight forward. So far I have just make the connection with X-Plane, because no extra stuff needed. I will research the way to connect to FSX or FS9.
if so if they could point me in the direction of some examples. im thinking of combining com1 and ILS. oh yeah i fly the level d too.
Hi Tim,
If your flying Level-D767 the easiest and cheapest way forward is using Opencockpits hardware, Opencockpits SIOC (free) and my free lekseecon program for the link with the Level-D (in FS9, FSX or Prepar3D).
rgrds,
Nico

Hello , you can use multi lcd 1602 display , 6 ports for each display. on a mega card
exampe lcd1(rs1,e1,d7_1,d6_1,d5_,d4_1)
lcd2(rs,e2,d7_2,d6_2,d5_2,d4_2)
LiquidCrystal lcd1(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
LiquidCrystal lcd2(31,30 , 22,23, 24, 25);
For use display use lcd1.cursor(7,1); or lcd2.cursor (3,2) ;for second display
Best regards .
