2022 has been year with major updates and significant new releases. Fenix A320 One of the highly anticipated aircraft for MSFS released this year was the Fenix Simulations A320. The aircraft was designed to integrate seamlessly with the ProSim systems in the backend. Unfortunately as many operators of the Fenix Airbus soon found out, their … Continue reading
Interfacing korry switches has also been a sticky subject. The problem OEM builders face – be it if you are interfacing Boeing 747, 737, or Airbus panels – is the amount of voltage, and current required to drive the indicator lights of the flight deck. Interface boards on the market today (Arduino, FDS TEKWorx, Skalarki) … Continue reading
The Output Amplifer has been tested with ProSimA320 and is compatible and fully functional. Using Arduino737 outputs can be mapped within the ProSim setup. Arduino737 software can be downloaded at the GitHub portal. Continue reading
Assembled output amplifier boards are now available. Genuine aircraft panels use incandescent korry bulbs with high current output utility. Existing I/O solutions in the market are unable to drive this load. The Soarbywire Output board amplifies current to meet these bulb requirements. The boards are plug and play for use with an Arduino Mega R3. … Continue reading
Initial load testing of the Output Amplifier DMOS transistors indicates an acceptable temperature of 35 ° C after 15 minutes when each transistors are running at maximum throughput (8 outputs for each array, approximately 1.6 amps if outputting to an aircraft panel operating at 5V). You would never run all outputs in the all on … Continue reading
Using an Arduino with FMGS is a relatively inexpensive way to setup the inputs and outputs of your flight deck. An Arduino Mega 2560 R3 board can be purchased for AUD 20.00 or less – one board has a total of 54 input or outputs which can be configured to your setup. With the Output … Continue reading
