Slewmaster - CFA vs. VFA "Rumble"

If you look back a couple hundred pages in this thread there is a PDF description of the circuit.

oh man that is a beauty of layout so "kawaii !" = lovely 😀
Regards
Juan

Thanks for the comment , I have to make some "modern" mackros (component
layout images) for all the 5/7.5/10/12/15/25mm components.
I DO like slightly larger pads ... Toner proofs especially (DIY etching is
less precise).

I'll look at some modern layouts for "fancy" screenprints. Once the initial
layout is done , a "pro" double sided layout is easy. I noticed only my
"spooky" was reconfigured from it's original form. The Kypton-V was a similar
hairpulling experience and I wanted a better design style (like JK's excellent
spooky rendition).

The output circuits of the Arduino are digital in nature, but can be made more or less analog with integrators in the form of op amps. They can read temp to a .1 of a degree and measure high voltage with voltage dividers.

The Flight Simulators I worked on in the past were ALL analog computer types. Digital was in its infancy then. But today all Flight simulators are 100% digital, and a lot more precise.

This is what I worked on, a KC_135A flight simulator on a railroad car.

I prefer analog "sensors", using Arduino just for management. This way the circuit stays fast enough. I also utilize hardware interrupts for key alerts (DC offset and over-current) and analog "acceleration" to make DC offset triggering even faster.

It's a pretty cool and very flexible board, I recommend it with no hesitation.

One may want to use the FET-based "electronic" relays, however I feel comfortable with good mechanical ones...
 
I've only recently ordered up some Chinese made Nano v3 boards and plan to begin learning them soon. What tool chain are you using?

Hi Carl, you mean - for programming? I use just native Arduino environment. Available at arduino.cc

My firmware is organized in way that it's easy to add sensors / functions, adjust parameters (like delays, indication options), etc.

Cheers,

Krisfr,
I can't count the number of patterns I made for the KC-135. Hundreds of tools to make bonded panels for those planes.

So you were a tool designer for Boeing ? The simulator I worked on was built by Erco.

Here is an excellent intro to Arduino on You Tube and pull you right in to let say doing a turn off circuit for a high temp on an output transistor emitter lead lets just say. I might include it on a board I am doing.

It is a lot of fun and it is more in the area of expertise that my work career spanned. Main Frame computers with Emitter coupled logic, are far from Hawksford EC circuits, a long long way.

What heading or forum would a Arduino discussion be put under and should one be started?
