carried by Digi-Key. Thanks to Pesach W. for calling it to my
attention. |
| 17 December 2002 |
The rotary encoders for the directional gyro project finally
showed up. They were installed with no problems and the PIC code
worked the first time... Yeah Right!! Well anyway, it seems to work
now, and I updated the built-them-yourself instrument page to reflect
that. |
| 14 December 2002 |
A few more thoughts on building your own flight controls. |
| 13 December 2002 |
Links. |
| 12 December 2002 |
A few new aircraft information links. |
| 11December 2002 |

basically an addition to yesterday's update. |
| 10 December 2002 |
New link to electronic surplus dealer, plus a major, major
rewrite with lots of pictures on building simulated instruments. |
| 7 December 2002 |
Added a few notes about using USB to game port adapters. |
| 3 December 2002 |
New space sim link, and a little grammar tweaking. |
| 28 November 2002 |

New link for possible 5" LCDs and CRTs. Surplus,
closeouts, etc. |
| 14 November 2002 |

The discussion about interfacing was expanded to address
options for tying more closely to the simulation software itself, rather
than solely relying on existing drivers. |
| 10 November 2002 |
An additional reference for programming serial
communications was added. This will be of interest to those
contemplating interfacing through a COM port under Win32. |

free DLL download, PortIO, for those pursuing parallel port interfacing
projects. Also, a few new helicopter resource links. |
| 31 October 2002 |
Brief update to multi-monitor page. |
| 29 October 2002 |

Minor tweaks to the Links page. |
| 24 August 2002 |
There is now a small project on how, in general, to make
cool looking annunciator lights using commonly available aluminum shapes
from the hardware store. A brief update has also been added to the
air-core instruments page. |
| 5 July 2002 |
Added URLs to the links page and extended the discussion on
air-core meter movement to show some more recent results. |
| 4 July 2002 |

site domain, there is now an email account for comments, as well as a new
"comments" page. |
