Hi, I've downloaded the Gerber Files for Radiostack V2 and uploaded them to jlcpcb and pcbway. If I have a look at the pcb with the gerber viewer, no drill holes are displayed. When I use another gerber file from another project, there is no problem with the drill holes. Any idea, what went wrong? Regards Michael

The Gerber files are in an old format. I uploaded to JLCPCB a few weeks ago and they rejected them. I reuploaded the same files last week and they accepted them - and they arrived via FedEx today and look good - with holes.

Guys ly boards arrived, all well, drill holes included. I will be starting to mount things around the weekend, still waiting for lots of componnents. Covid makes all a bit slower in shipping.

Hi, I have also started building a Cessna simulator and used your Radiostack shield. By the way, your website is great!
It seems that the 6digit LED has another pinout than your board, please can check this? Any advise?
Thanks and regards from Belgium!
EDIT: Did some research, the 6digit is also available with pinout like on the V2 board. Problem solved and I've ordered the right ones! Attachments:

Quick Question, this radio stack runs with Mobi, but can it be recoded to Airmanager. I mean with the minouts and so.? The reason is that i would like to run my pit with Airmanager with all the fuctions. If no no problem. Mike
PS If anybody has done the recoding to Airmanager Please share!!

Hi Mike, Air manager shouldn't be a problem, you just need to code the scripts. I do have some script examples i have done for radio frequency changes of com1 com2 nav1 nav2, also the radio swaps for com and nav, but i didn't do the rest. You need to change the arduino pinnouts in the scripts though. If you need this piece of code let me know and i will poste it here.

Let me play first but i would be interested in the code once i have the stack working. Mike

Here is the code anyway, it might help someone. You need to change the pins accordingly, because the pins below were just experiments.
-- Cessna 172 Radiostack AlbEagle
-- Radio COM1 MHZ and KHZ
function dial_change_com1_mhz(direction) if direction == 1 then -- Increase Radio whole fsx_event("COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC") fs2020_event("COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC") print("Frekuenca e COM1 u rrit per 1 MhZ") end
if direction == -1 then -- Decrease radio whole fsx_event("COM_RADIO_WHOLE_Dec") fs2020_event("COM_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC") print("Frekuenca e COM1 u zvogelua per 1 MhZ") end end
function dial_change_com1_khz(direction) if direction == 1 then -- Decrease Radio fract fsx_event("COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC") fs2020_event("COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC") print("Frekuenca e COM1 u rrit per 25 KhZ") end
if direction == -1 then -- Increase Radio fract fsx_event("COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC") fs2020_event("COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC") print("Frekuenca e COM1 u zvogelua per 25 KhZ") end end
-- Radio COM2 MHZ and KHZ
function dial_change_com2_mhz(direction) if direction == 1 then -- Increase Radio whole fsx_event("COM2_RADIO_WHOLE_INC") fs2020_event("COM2_RADIO_WHOLE_INC") print("Frekuenca e COM2 u rrit per 1 MhZ") end
if direction == -1 then -- Decrease radio whole fsx_event("COM2_RADIO_WHOLE_Dec") fs2020_event("COM2_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC") print("Frekuenca e COM2 u zvogelua per 1 MhZ") end end
function dial_change_com2_khz(direction) if direction == 1 then -- Decrease Radio fract fsx_event("COM2_RADIO_FRACT_INC") fs2020_event("COM2_RADIO_FRACT_INC") print("Frekuenca e COM2 u rrit per 25 KhZ") end
if direction == -1 then -- Increase Radio fract fsx_event("COM2_RADIO_FRACT_DEC") fs2020_event("COM2_RADIO_FRACT_DEC") print("Frekuenca e COM2 u zvogelua per 25 KhZ") end end
-- COM1 SWAP function button_com1_swap() -- Swap the COM1 radio frequency fsx_event("COM1_RADIO_SWAP") fs2020_event("COM1_RADIO_SWAP") print("Sapo nderruat frekuencen e COM 1") end
-- COM2 SWAP function button_com2_swap() -- Swap the COM2 radio frequency fsx_event("COM2_RADIO_SWAP") fs2020_event("COM2_RADIO_SWAP") print("Sapo nderruat frekuencen e COM 2") end
-- NAV1 SWAP function button_nav1_swap() -- Swap the NAV1 radio frequency fsx_event("NAV1_RADIO_SWAP") fs2020_event("NAV1_RADIO_SWAP") print("Sapo nderruat frekuencen e NAV 1") end
-- NAV2 SWAP function button_nav2_swap() -- Swap the NAV2 radio frequency fsx_event("NAV2_RADIO_SWAP") fs2020_event("NAV2_RADIO_SWAP") print("Sapo nderruat frekuencen e NAV 2") end
-- Bind to Arduino Mega2560, Channel A hw_dial_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_D2", dial_change_com1_mhz) hw_dial_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_D3", dial_change_com1_khz) hw_dial_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_D4", dial_change_com2_mhz) hw_dial_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_D5", dial_change_com2_khz) hw_button_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_A0", button_com1_swap) hw_button_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_A1", button_nav1_swap) hw_button_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_A2", button_com2_swap) hw_button_add("ARDUINO_MEGA2560_A_A3", button_nav2_swap)

Maybe offtopic but why would you choose for Airmanager to control the hardware? The Airmanager API is using the standard flightsim variables only, if I'm right? Mobiflight uses FSUIPC offsets and you can map LVAR's to FSUIPC offsets, interesting when using a advanced airplane like the A2A planes. Airmanager needs scripting from scratch and Mobiflight has a nice graphical interface, safes alot of work and time.
I'm just curious.

Bosal, Air Manager gives me one Application, so one issue and one fix. BTW you can map almost everything in Airmanager as you can with Mobiflight Albeagle: A Couple of Questions on the build of the radio stack: 1: The LED covers, do you mount them flush with the board? I presume they are all 5mm LED's 2: Can you use EC12 Encoders with switch just cutting the switch off for the Normal encloders you have like SPD, HDG, ALT, and VB 3: If using normal dual concentric encoders, can we use the switch for the instead of pull we now push to change the freq from 25 to 8,33. Aas i need to buy al teast 8 ELMA encoders Concentric (finding plastic encoders seems to be hard) 4: In the top left there is a PWR Switch? Is this a POD or encoder or ? 5: NM and KN displays, i cant seem to find them and if i find one he does not ship to EU area. Any sugestions. Sorry for all the questions but this is my first big electronics build.
Mike
PS Removed the Encoders on the POD places, Did not read the whole tread, but got that part.

Mike LED's are 3mm following the partlist and are used together with LED mounts if I'm right. About getting the parts, I have ordered some from Aliexpress: I ordered also other parts from LCSC Electronics. Both are shipping to Belgium so also to the Netherlands.
I'm looking forward to the answer on your questions about the Pot-meter/encoder! Also not 100% clear for me how to....

I use Air Manager as well and had a very brief thought about using it with the panel. Maybe I need to rethink that now . . .

Maybe we can share the AM code we have , this way maybe we can get all done, as its not a simple task. Ill use what AlbEagle send me but would like to start from the top, buttons, OMI, then the COMMS, NAVS, 5 Position switch etc. I will be using the extra free ports for the cessna Switches, flap control and maybe the throttels (TMP module) The issue is that im still in dought between the Saitex throttle modification or a new set found in Simbuilders group on facebook. As for the free ports i found a nice breakoutboard made for Rasberry PI but 40pin header connector to a small board. So with to its easy to wire them to other parts of the sim.
Well lots to do.

LED's ....

My issue is not the normal components, i have all in house, except the Elma Dual Encoders. As they are the better ones but tough to find. I will be looking around maybe contact ELMA as ask for the contacts. I hve seen some at LBonner and the usa site propwash but the pricing is crazy.
