I'm thinking in terms of a FGFS instance with no scenery, no airport, just a single instrument, driven not from the FDM, but from input fed from the main FGFS instance over USB or UDP, perhaps running independently on a Raspberry Pi Zero. Outputs for adjusting knobs back to the main fgfs via the same channel. -Pat https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805001903002.html?spm=3Da2g0o.cart.0.0.4= 91f38daKYclES&mp=3D1&pdp_npi=3D6%40dis%21USD%21USD+31.27%21USD+31.27%21%21U= SD+31.27%21%21%21%402103138417850754067242788e0eb6%2112000032031307056%21ct= %21US%21798636471%21%211%210%21&gatewayAdapt=3Dglo2usa Heading Instrument example 1 raspberry pi zero 1 2.8" display with hdmi board 2 magnetic rotary encoders for Heading Bug and Card Adjust Is there a simpler way to drive the display than to have a full instance of flightgear running on the Pi? --00000000000018dfe30657848d26 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Has anyone done any cockpit instruments using Flightg= ear source materials driving=C2=A0 2.8" round TFT displays from raspbe= rry pi zeros?=C2=A0 I'm thinking in terms of a FGFS instance with no sc= enery, no airport, just a single instrument, driven not from the FDM, but f= rom input fed from the main FGFS instance over USB or UDP, perhaps running = independently on a Raspberry Pi Zero.=C2=A0 Outputs for adjusting knobs bac= k to the main fgfs via the same channel.</div><div><br></div><div>-Pat</div= ><div><br></div><a href=3D"https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805001903002.= html?spm=3Da2g0o.cart.0.0.491f38daKYclES&mp=3D1&pdp_npi=3D6%40dis%2= 1USD%21USD+31.27%21USD+31.27%21%21USD+31.27%21%21%21%4021031384178507540672= 42788e0eb6%2112000032031307056%21ct%21US%21798636471%21%211%210%21&gate= wayAdapt=3Dglo2usa">https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805001903002.html?sp= m=3Da2g0o.cart.0.0.491f38daKYclES&mp=3D1&pdp_npi=3D6%40dis%21USD%21= USD+31.27%21USD+31.27%21%21USD+31.27%21%21%21%402103138417850754067242788e0= eb6%2112000032031307056%21ct%21US%21798636471%21%211%210%21&gatewayAdap= t=3Dglo2usa</a><div><br></div><div>Heading Instrument example=C2=A0</div><d= iv>1 raspberry pi zero</div><div>1 2.8" display with hdmi board</div><= div>2 magnetic rotary encoders for Heading Bug and Card Adjust</div><div><b= r></div><div>Is there a simpler way to drive the display than to have a ful= l instance of flightgear running on the Pi?</div></div> --00000000000018dfe30657848d26-- --===============4517021870810861795== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline --===============4517021870810861795== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel --===============4517021870810861795==--
