To be more specific. I have HP G62 laptop. It is ~10 years old. Running Orbiter in 800x600 window mode. Sometimes for DG ISS docking, sometimes for add-on/software tests.

Thank you! What are your progress on MFD? Are you already tested pythonMFD with RPi on your setup? Button wiring? Modularity... It depends... I see it different: * Every MFD is complete RPi device with ethernet + power cable. Maybe PoE, maybe DC power, maybe AC power. S* itch panels are...

I am using Orbiter 2016 with Wine 4.0.3 on Lubuntu 18.04 and laptop with Intel graphics. Everything works for me.

Today internet was down for few hours. That was good reason to solder buttons and debug some code... Yes! My crappy looking MFD working in a way I want it! ? Todo: Need to fix command line parametrs. Write guide, so nonprogrammers can configure and use it. Lot of other work. Real MFD is 100...

Lower voltage is safer, that's true. I would go with 24VDC because it's more or less standard in industrial electronics, but... It's depend on your taste. RPi can be powered with 3A DC/DC step down converter from aliexpress like LM2596 or something more powerful. If you tear down LCD, you...

Pff! I think I have link when open my profile and search for my posts... https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/the-universal-flight-simulator.37819/page-2#post-579784

Regarding Remote MFD. I really like VNCMFD add-on. It is VNC server that support many MFDs at the same time. Tested with RealVNC VNCviewer and 5 MFDs on 2nd PC over LAN works great. MFD size and button positions can be customized. You can connect to server with any VNC client over network. Also...

Yes, exactly. USB between buttons and RPi. And there are many options: 1) Buttons => Leonardo => USB => RPi 2) Buttons => disassembled USB keyboard => USB RPi 3) Buttons => RPi GPIO. Only ~24 buttons because not enough GPIO. Can be used in my project. 4) Buttons => Keypad matrix wiring =>...

No, key press event go thru VNC protocol over Ethernet. No need for additional cables between hardware RPi MFD and PC, only ethernet or, if someone really want, WiFi. No need for additional serial conversation. Magic happens in python code and in VNCMFD plugin. With my modifications python code...

OK! Let's look on your situation from my point of view ak how I understand your setup: PC with Orbiter2016+VNCMFD addon => Ethernet => Raspberry Pi with two similar PytnonVNC viewers => USB => Arduino Leonardo => physical buttons or => USB => Disassembled keyboard => physical buttons Some...

I am also more hardware (arduino) guy and noob in python. I thing with some patience and python understanding you can make 2 MFDs with single python program. It is complicated for python noob, but with patience it is possible. I am planning to install Visual Studio Community edition and patch...

Hello! Really like your approach. All that cables and connectors... I am also got idea to build MFD. I got many small analog 5'' LCD TVs with composite input . Picture is... :poop: Well, maybe I will upgrade to SPI or HDMI displays in future. Some info that maybe, can help you: I am using...

Awesome! Great job! I will test it in near future. What abut to control vessel from microcontroller? I am familiar with MCU programming and 6 years ago wrote some small code with LUA. Seems that I need to read SDK an start my experiments. Can You write sample code in LUA to receive serial port...
