FSBUS


Suomeksi


First. English is not my native language, so corrections are welcome.

My project idea is to build panel what i can use with one or twing engine plane without any need to use mouse or keyboard. Because of limited space i can't build whole cockpit, even if i wanted so. But also i don't want to make some specific plane cockpit. These are main cause for that panel is not following any existing plane and is almost fully own design.

Project started spring 2002 as plans and ideas. First prototypes were ready at autumm 2002 with using keyboard interface. With keyboard interface there were some challenges and troubles. And keyboard proto was abandoned when i got my first version of FSBUS.

Plan is to build almost all panel electronics with FSBUS. Two keyboard cards for rotaries, switches and buttons. One analog card for throttles, spoiler and trim. Led card for warning lights. And maybe, as bonus, FMC. But without display, those are too expensive. Displays and software for them are my own design. Two 4x20 (4 rows, 20 letters per row) LCD-backlighted LCD-displays. These will show radio and autopilot data.
