If you are interested in building a panel to control some parameters of Flight Simulator 2020 you could like this project.<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/d24a9539-2052-4cad-96ce-58c19e3b69d7.jpg /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure>This panel manages and shows the following parameters:<ul ><li >display NAV1 &amp; NAV2 Active frequencies</li></ul><ul ><li >display NAV1 &amp; NAV2 Standby frequencies</li></ul><ul ><li >edit and switch NAV1 &amp; NAV2 Standby frequencies</li></ul><ul ><li >display and edit radial setting of NAV1 &amp; NAV2 (OBS)</li></ul><ul ><li >display and edit ADF frequency and its HDG</li></ul><ul ><li >when a NAVx starts to receive a valid signal, the program automatically displays its CDI on 2 LED bars (with priority to NAV1).</li></ul><ul ><li >on a second LCD the program displays Indicated Air Speed, Altitude (QNH), Height (QFE), HDG and Vertical Speed</li></ul>All the Radio frequencies and courses are shown and edited on the first 16x2 char LCD. Some plane parameter like Speed(s), Altitude, HDG, etc, are shown on a second LCD and the CDI is shown using 2 LED bars + a single 3mm green central LED. To edit each frequency and course I used an encoder with a button.For this project I used an Arduino Nano but every kind of Arduino board can be used.For the whole project visit: <a href="https://github.com/IWILZ/FS2020-LCD-Panel">https://github.com/IWILZ/FS2020-LCD-Panel</a>
