My setup for a flight sim cockpit
What I'm currently attempting to achieve. These guidelines come as conclusions of previous thought.
- Start by making discrete components, not a big one. i.e. make a specific component to manage comm radio1, another for comm radio2, another for nav1, another for autopilot, etc.
- Start by a single component and make it work.

I create this github repo to keep all the project stuff in one place. I buy some components: rotary encoders, arduino board and some cable, that I will receive at home in a cuple of days.

I received the parts I ordered; I'll get hands dirty on the weekend.

After some DCS flying, I got the project started by soldering the arduino pins.

2022-04-24: Can't get the darn thing to work. I have tried out some videos to make a generic game controller, then switched to more specific products like Mobiflight, but could not get any of them to even work slightly.
