Summary

With this instrument I complete the 6 basic indicators for a airplane cockpits.

It's work in progress, I need to fine tune some things, but it is usable.

I do not solve the initial position or the needles of disk, neither make the arduino software to manage it, i will do in a future an update this description.

You need 2 encoders and 2 motors type 28BJY

You need one or two bearing type 608.

Make the glass with the marks using vinyl electrical insolation tape and a transparent sheet

In the PDF in files you can found the wind-rose, the indications on the handles that you can cut and paste in the pieces and a guide for put the marks in the glass.

"Build.stl" is not for print, is only to have a 3D view on thingiverse web page.

You will need two prints of "eje_mando.stl" and "mando.stl"

you need to print only "rose.stl" or "rose_1.stl" plus "rose_2,stl", use high filling on rose.stl.

mount the rose, needle1, needle2 and the mandatory bearing can be a little tricky, use cyano to glue needle1 to needle2

you need 5 screw:

  • two are used as axis for the encoder, mando and eje_mando
  • one is to fix fondo and fondo2
  • two are used to support bezel the glass and all the fondo elements together

This gauge is intended to mount on a panel of a minimun of 4.5mm thick (typical wood) if you mount on metal panel, or mount in the back, you will need to use a aditional separator, you can download from my other instruments.

This is almost open-source, remenber: if you modify it, you must publish the changes.
