A320-homecockpit/README.md

Goal

The goal of this project is to have an affordable, full DIY A320 home cockpit with all sources in one place. This project is very price conscious so some realism might get sacreficed for reducing the cost.

Currently this project only contains the pedestal, more will follow once that's done.

Building the cockpit

NOTE: Things are very work in progress right now and might change.
Equipement you need:

• 3D printer (at least access to one)
• Soldering equipment (you can order the PCBs pre-assembled but that comes at a significant extra cost)

General materials you need:

• Grey, black and red filament
• M2 self tapping screws
• IDC cables:
  • 4x 10 Pin
  • 2x 12 Pin
  • 1x 14 Pin
  • 1x 24 Pin
• Plastic glue

Optionally also have:

• Wood filler and sand paper to smooth out the 3D printed parts. This then would also require painting the parts.

The repo consists of the following sturcture:

• common-3d: Contains commonly used 3D printed parts such as knobs
• Pedestal: Contains all files needed for the pedestal
  • *VU-*: The individual panels.
  • PedestalConnectBox: The PCB, most things of the pedestal hook up to
  • MCDU: Everything for the MCDU
  • flightgear: Files for flightgear flight simulator infterface

Some of the sub-directories contain READMEs with more specific instructions on the parts.

PCBs

TODO

TODO BOM!

3D printing

From the common-3d parts you need:

• 5x Knob1
• ??x LockPin
• TODO For the individual panels, check if there are hints in the individual directory
