		<description><![CDATA[Unlike the wide body boys there do not seem to be any affordable options for us general aviation simmers when it comes to the radio stack. Sure there are some fantastic products out there, the SimKits line for instance, but they are priced higher than the Chief of Finance will allow. There are also some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found this little gem in a big bag of miscellaneous electronic parts my mom had come across somewhere and given me.

It is a fuse with an attached disbursement ticket. If you zoom in you will notice this was issued and stamped &#8220;critical&#8221; on January 7, 1977. The bag is unopened and the fuse is [...]]]></description>

It is a tight fit for our minivan in our &#8220;oversize&#8221; garage after I added storage shelves to the front wall.

Even with only one gauge it was very rewarding to see my hard work pay off with a working instrument. The software is alpha quality and needs a lot of debugging but it works!

		<description><![CDATA[I completed the build of my ASI (air speed indicator) for my flight simulator project. There were some minor issues with the PCB but nothing a few jumper wires couldn&#8217;t fix. The most frustrating &#8220;bug&#8221; was with the USB connector. For some reason the connectors I ordered have an unconnected ground pin. Ground is instead [...]]]></description>

This is a 3D view of the CAD design.

Here is a pile of parts I have completed.

As you can see I am making a real mess in the garage.

Here are the bearing assemblies for all 3 axis. These are [...]]]></description>

These boards will drive various instruments, such as my airspeed indicator. This is the first time I have used Seeed Studio for PCBs and I am very please so far with the end result.

I cut out the shapes on a band saw and drilled the instrument cutouts with a hole saw. There are more holes to drill and I need to [...]]]></description>
