X-Plane DIY Arduino Cockpit - Autopilot panel MCP with SimVim [Part2]
In this video video we continue the last episode tutorial and we start using SimVim interface. The goal is to create 2 switches, one rotary encoder, one LED in MCP Panel for demonstration using Arduino, Simvim using X-plane.
Heading Knob Selection
Heading Mode Engage/Disengage
Autopilot Engage/Disengage
Heading Mode Indication Light
What you need for this tutorial:
1- Arduino Mega 2560
2- One rotary encoder (very cheap one will work, Don't buy breakout boards and expensive modules, I used KY-040 to show you the solution)

4- some jumper wires.
If you have any questions and suggestions for next videos feel free to ask.
