SimStack by Simulator Solutions

[Roddez]

As some of you may be aware, John Golin and I have been developing SimStack over the last couple of years.  SimStack is now running in three 747-400 simulators and we are looking to do another production run in the near future.

For those not familiar with SimStack, it is a series of modular, stackable circuit boards enabling the integration of real aircraft panels and aftermarket panels with PSX and other simulators.

SimStack Features:
* Connects real aircraft panels to your simulator software with zero modifications
* Communicates via Ethernet not USB, simplifying cabling, connectivity and compatibility
* All logic is on the SimStack – no additional computer drivers are required
* Professional circuit design, layout and manufacturing
* Up to 128 digital inputs – Including rotary encoders
* Up to 16 analogue inputs
* Up to 120 digital outputs
* Up to 4096 steps of Pulse Width Modulation on every digital output – for dimming LEDs or normal incandescent bulbs
* Supports output voltages between 0 and 32V, up to 3A per output and 20A per board
* Supports any combination of common cathode or common anode (switched earth and switched supply) outputs
* Self-tightening spring connectors for connecting hardware – no soldering or terminations required
* Based on Arduino hardware and software (C++) ensuring broad future compatibility
* Existing SimStack libraries cater for almost every input or output available in PSX

Over the coming months we are looking at developing some new SimStack boards that will support Synchros and two way ARINC communication.

Congrats, Rod & John! :-)

Shall I put a link on the Add-ons page here or do you want to wait for some more months?


Cheers,

Hi guys,

For interest sake, where would you buy old B744 panels etc.?

I see a couple on ebay every now and then.

Or is there a company in the states that do this? I guess you cannot just pitch up there in the mojave and say "hey I want to buy some airplane parts"

Thanks
Chris

Thanks Hardy, that would be great.

Chris, there are a number of places you can find them.  There are always parts available on ebay.  Try tracking down some of the ebay sellers or making the right posts on this forum and you might be in luck.
