FCU Project
Airbus A320 FCU - PROVersion
Saturday, 04 September 2010 22:01
I was very happy showing my last FCU version, but after looking at some pictures of real unit I've decided to make some improvements. And no more changes to the project, honestly. As soon my unit was complete, I've started all sort of tests to check how my software is working. At the moment I am using WILCO A320 as a sim and FSX. Thanks Eric Marciano and his FSUIPC Exporter (little .dll which is giving me access to WILCO specific offsets) I managed to fire every single controll in FCU and EFIS. Not everything is implemented as yet but this is only question of time to sort out all of them.

Final Version of my FCU Project is ready. Again few more improvements has been done: new panels, new Airbus style knobs, push/pull encoders, button caps with high resolution engraving, even better backlighting and new tinted glass on top of the displays.
FCU Project - second version

I don't know how is with other simbuilders, but just few weeks after my first FCU version I've started thinking about new, better version. Actually I had to do something to make this section compatible with my new SKALARKI I/O Project and I/O Glare board. Once I managed to source proper 7-segment displays, my FCU was redesigned completelly. New pcb's design, this time ordered in proper company because I wasn't able to do doublesided pcb's using my home method. More backlighting, new rotary switches, different tactile switches with build in led's and connectors stright to my I/O Project.

As my FCU is almost ready I've decided to share some photos of building process.
