Objective
The objective of this task is to create an angle of attack indicator to be mounted on top of the dashboard. It should interface with a PC via USB using a PIC18F4550 microcontroller. In turn the USB data should be interfaced with Flight Simulator using SimConnect.
Online Plan
A plan to build an Angle of Attack Indicator is available from the " Hammer's F16 - Simulator" website. Look for the "IndexerLight" link where you will find a PDF file with the plans.
Construction
The construction are done in several parts:
- Main USB Controller Board;
- 3 LED indicators;
