Analog Output Board Mini, LAN

cpaulus — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 12:45:44 +0000

The board has 4 analog voltage outputs. The voltage range has a resolution of 12 bits (value 0 to 4095) and can be preset using two trimmers. The voltage range can be changed from 0 to approx. 9.7 volts and an offset between approx. -12.5 and +11.3 volts can be set. This allows the full 12 bits to be used in the preset voltage range. Numerous combinations are possible, e.g. 0 to 5 V or -3 to +3 V. Plug and play with JeeHell, ProSim (A320 and 737) and X-Plane.

A data source is selected in the software and connected to the output via a lookup table. It can also be used to control original instruments that require an analog voltage. Thanks to the value table, even uneven dials can be calibrated.
The outputs are designed for high-impedance inputs and may only be loaded up to a few mA.

The board is a smaller version of the “Analog Output Board, LAN” and has been developed as a LAN version for the “Analog Voltage Board, USB”.

An external 5 volt power supply is required.

HS TX AC Backlight, LAN

cpaulus — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 12:33:59 +0000

This board makes it possible to connect original instruments based on the ARINC 429 High Speed Bus to the flight simulator via LAN. The board has a single transmitter unit and has been developed as a LAN version for the “ARINC 429 HS Transmitter, USB”. Instead of selecting a fixed profile as before, you can freely select the data you need and want to send from a list in the software. This means that several devices can be operated in parallel on the board without having to create a new special profile.

The board also has a generator for a 400 Hz alternating voltage, which can be varied between 0 and 5 V (RMS) via the software. The lighting of most devices can be operated with 5 V DC without any problems. However, some devices require an AC control voltage to operate and vary the lighting. These are the APE-5100 clock, the DCDU and the full-format printer (Widebody). Similar to other boards, the data source can be selected and a value table can be created for calibration. A total of three connections are available for the voltage (AC signal and ground).

Please note that the output power is only designed as a control voltage for the above-mentioned devices. The circuit board cannot be used to control incandescent lamps.

An external 5 volt power supply is required.

The board has 24 analog voltage outputs. The voltage range has a resolution of 12 bits (value 0 to 4095) and can be preset using two trimmers. The voltage range can be changed from 0 to approx. 9.7 volts and an offset between approx. -11.8 and +10.6 volts can be set. This allows the full 12 bits to be used in the preset voltage range. Numerous combinations are possible, e.g. 0 to 5 V or -3 to +3 V. Plug and play with JeeHell, ProSim (A320 and 737) and X-Plane.

An external 5 volt power supply is required.

Printer Interface Board, LAN

cpaulus — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 15:55:52 +0000

This board makes it possible to connect an original printer based on the ARINC 740, 744 or 744A standard to the flight simulator via LAN. PSX is supported directly, other software can connect to a socket that Cockpit Connect opens (port configurable). The CPDLC AOC client can connect to this socket for data exchange. However, the socket is open and can be used by any application.

Simply send ASCII characters to the socket, \n (LF) stands for a new line, \r (CR) stands for the end of the printout (print process starts).

An external 5 volt power supply is required.

Thermocouple Board, USB

cpaulus — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:56:51 +0000

This board has four analog voltage outputs for controlling instruments that are connected directly to thermocouples. The output voltage can be varied between approx. -4 and 48 mV in 4096 steps.
A data source is selected in the software and connected to the output via a value table.
Thanks to the value table, non-linear thermocouple characteristics can also be calibrated.
The outputs are designed for emulating thermocouples and may only be loaded up to a few mA.

Classic Gauges Board, USB

cpaulus — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:50:48 +0000

This circuit board has two frequency outputs (50-3500 Hz, 0 to +/- 5 V) and two combined outputs (channel 3/4, 0 to +/- 5 V). The frequency outputs can be used to control 737 Classic N1/N2 instruments, for example. Channels 3 and 4 can be used to control a 737 Classic Fuel Flow Instrument. The output voltage can be set between 0 and +/- 5 V using a trimmer.
A data source is selected in the software and connected to the output via a lookup table. Thanks to the value table, even uneven dials can be calibrated.
The outputs are designed for high-impedance inputs and may only be loaded up to a few mA.

Analog Voltage Board, USB

cpaulus — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:47:37 +0000

This board has four analog voltage outputs. The output voltage can be adjusted using two trimmers. The range can be changed from 0 to 10 volts, the offset can be set between approx. -11 and +11 volts. This means that numerous combinations are possible, e.g. 0 to 5 V or 6 to 9 V. The voltage range has a resolution of 256 steps. A data source is selected in the software and connected to the output via a lookup table. It can also be used to control original instruments that require an analog voltage. Thanks to the value table, even uneven dials can be calibrated.
The outputs are designed for high-impedance inputs and may only be loaded up to a few mA.

Voltmeter Interface, USB

cpaulus — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:45:19 +0000

This board makes it possible to connect up to two original voltmeters to the flight simulator via USB. The display can be varied in 4096 steps (12 bits). The software is used to calibrate the displays so that the software and hardware display the same values. Test mode is also supported. Plug and Play for JeeHell FMGS, ProSimA320, FlightFactor A320 and ToLiss A320.

This is a revision of our first voltmeter interface. The required voltage was reduced from 48 to 36 volts and the connection was also changed from a DC connector (5.5 x 2.1 mm) to a terminal. In addition, the resolution has been improved from 8 bits (256 steps) to 12 bits (4096 steps). Calibration is now carried out in the software and no longer by means of a trimmer on the circuit board.

An external 36 volt power supply is required.
