Thanks for the advices. I purchased it in the end, and it seem to work fine in all the relatively new games. Not ultra settings, but still decent. Thank you again!

Thanks Rob. I’ll do a small project on Monday and do a final pass. Thanks for your help.

Perhaps because when used at the recommended concentration it includes the correct corrosion inhibitors plus chemicals which improve cooling as well as preventing freezing?

That's a bit harsh because if Cropwell hadn't elaborated a little more then I didn't get it either.? I doubt you had either..:stupid:

Never send a full machinable drawing to China.
If it's a decent part design.......... They'll steal it!!!.

Sometimes you have to admit defeat and move on.

You've reminded me that I walked away from an AVO 8 at a junk sale a few months back. A snip at $80AUD, I should have snapped it up. Used one almost...

Hate to say it but I'd be thinking of "letting go".

There'll be one chip that does all functions including the LCD drive - if that's borked then....

I forgot to answer to this earlier and not sure you are interested to hear this, but my pedals were connected simply by using a bike brake cable like this:

It was of course as short as...

At first I thought you had machined those pedals ! Very nice and shiny.

In terms of simulators at home there was a TV programme a while ago where someone had turned a room into the starship...

Hi RobC

A fellow flight simmer I see and welcome to the rabbit hole (I've not found the bottom yet :) ).

For the electronic side of things I would look at hall sensors and if you want an easy...

What CAD program were they drawn/rendered in Rob.?

Very nice looking pedals. Congratulations.

I built my own over 25 years ago, but mine was of course not as nice as yours, even though they worked well. My flying days ended (for real and for...

In all honesty, in terms of electronics, I'd be looking at some of the flight sim forums, and any relevant Facebook groups to see how other people are interfacing sensors to the computer. From my...

If you've played with Arduino, then all you're talking about is using the serial interface provided for standard/debug I/O - to send the data that you want to encode, either in binary or ASCII...

A lot depends on what you're trying to connect to. You mention USB - I'm guessing that you're then talking about some form of standard HID device (recognised as some form of input control under...

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: If my comments stop just one person buying this machine without knowing exactly what they are buying then I've succeeded.!! . . . . . Now I did say...

I like the desk/cabinet setup you've built.

What's the goal with this in terms of what you intend to machine? I'm always impressed with people that manage to built workable machines by hand too -...

A good first build.
It looks solid =)

A tip: Its easier if you design/build in a 3d program first. That way you know if it will fit and won't have to redo it as many times.

Well, done Rob. Looking great so far.

Another day, another part.

Today I bashed out the side mounting plates. I'll need to make some more shoulder screws as I have used a similar alignment strategy to the gantry slider plate to ensure...
