Autopilot Panel

 Objective

The objective of this task is to create an autopilot panel located below the main panel.  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.

Autopilot in PC9M

The real PC9M does not come with an autopilot, but the PC21 does.  I will base my design on the 2-axis autopanel of the PC21.
