LCD Panel with Arduino for Flight Simulator

If you are interested in building a panel to control some parameters of Flight Simulator 2020 you could like this project.

This panel manages and shows the following parameters:

• display NAV1 & NAV2 Active frequencies

• display NAV1 & NAV2 Standby frequencies

• edit and switch NAV1 & NAV2 Standby frequencies

• display and edit radial setting of NAV1 & NAV2 (OBS)

• display and edit ADF frequency and its HDG

• when a NAVx starts to receive a valid signal, the program automatically displays its CDI on 2 LED bars (with priority to NAV1).

• on a second LCD the program displays Indicated Air Speed, Altitude (QNH), Height (QFE), HDG and Vertical Speed

All the Radio frequencies and courses are shown and edited on the first 16x2 char LCD.

Some plane parameter like Speed(s), Altitude, HDG, etc, are shown on a second LCD and the CDI is shown using 2 LED bars + a single 3mm green central LED.

To edit each frequency and course I used an encoder with a button.

For this project I used an Arduino Nano but every kind of Arduino board can be used.
