Need to be able to measure analog inputs, such as rudder and pitch controls, and convert to values suitable for X-Plane simulator inputs. e.g., 2.3 V from a rudder potentiometer, to -12 degrees for the X-Plane simulator.
The Arduino can measure an analog signal without any additional components. 10 bits - 0 to 1023 value output.
Need to be able to detect switch position, such as “beacon lights on” and convert to a true/false value for the X-Plane simulator.
Similarly, need to be able to group switch positions, such as flap selector switch, and convert to a digital number value, such as flap 25% deployment.
It is intended that there be a small computer (initially proposed as Raspberry Pi) which will server as a smart interface between the hardware controls and outputs. This computer will have its own display which can show local values and allows comprehensive calibration.
