Flight Panel for Msfs2020 V1

image-cover

This project is initially composed of 3 Pcbs boards.
It is arranged this way so as not to make a very large board, segmenting each board's functionalities.
The 3 boards are connected to each other, with PcbMain controlling everything.

The boards are as follows.
- PcbMain: Main board where the arduino mega2560 is put on and taken off, and its connectors where all its devices are derived.
- PcbKeys1 : Board where the set of push buttons and rotary encoders are arranged, as well as as 2 linear potentiometers for gas control.
- Pcbleds1: Board to control up to 24 leds with 3 74hc595 chips through 3 data pins, and a single pin for the brightness of all the leds.

In addition to the push buttons, rotary encoders, and LEDs, there is a set of 6 7-segment, 8-digit displays, accompanied by rotary encoders, which together control the autopilot parameters.
This would have been ideal to do on a pcb board, but its size would be huge and it would be expensive. It is mounted on a panel, and each device is connected to its PcbMain connector.

With over 20 years of experience in the programming field, I have dedicated my career to software development in multiple languages and platforms.
I am a Linux enthusiast with two decades of experience using this operating system, which has enriched my approach to development and technical problem solving.

Although I started with the C language in my teens, I have evolved and specialized in Php and Python, with approximately three years of experience in Django

Throughout my career I have also worked with Symfony 2 and Symfony 3, in addition to having a good foundation in Html, JavaScript and Css
Also with knowledge of SEO Positioning.
Recently, I have expanded my horizons into programming with Arduino and ESP32, combining my skills with a deep passion for technology.

I am also passionate about deploying Docker environments, which I use in all my programming projects.
If you have an interesting project and want to tell me about it, maybe we can have fun.
