    :hi:
    Sorry I did not realize that you mean to connect to a notebook.
    I wanted to do it too, but as the compatible USB cable I found was $ 42,50 I decided to use my desktop and connect straight to the MB.
    digimer.com.br do have the cable you want.
    regards!

    Actually that was my problem because I do not have a machine with serial output available at home.

    From what I've been reading, I can use a netbook, just to run the engines, will give this information?

    Then I want to connect a powerful desktop to run the games.

    For all the forums ......

    Regarding monitors or projection, what are you thinking of using?

    I am going to choice of projector, what do you think?

    Curved projection screen, works well? What projector do you suggest me?

    Grateful

    Hello,

    I'm having trouble setting up my AMC.

    When I turn it to Computer and connect the two green lights are light up, but when I install ponyprog to configure the chip he calibrates normal, but then when I configure the port it says the test failed.

    What can be?

    Grateful

    Try to restart windows and press F8. Than choose to skip driver signature imposition.
    And always run the programs as administrator to minimize chances of errors.

    More errors to program the ATmega.

    I did the procedures required by Raphael.

    I could read the serial port, but when I read the chip, it gives a message missing or unknow device.

    What can it be?

    Does my capacitors are right?

    It may be wrong with the crystal?

    I no longer know which way to go, do you have any suggestions?

    Hi!
    I looked up sketches of your simulator.
    Serious attitude!
    Look at the pictures.
    In my opinion, this design is easier to do, but the effect is the same.

    Thus we have roughly the same design as in this video.

    good luck!

    Hello,

    Rafael, thanks for the tip, I also think this could be it, but this is another error which I quote below, does that change anything?

    After checking all board and components, I noticed that the font I'm using to connect my AMC is 5 volts and 1 amp.

    Could it be that the reason of not being able configure the ATMEGA?

    As I said above, it recognizes and calibrates the serial port but when I read the chip it's returning a read error message as unknown device.

    Deriy, I loved his choice since I really was in doubt in relation to movements. I was afraid to lose a little sensation of strength g, but after your idea and the video you posted, I will redo the rear of the cockpit.

    Grateful and look forward

    Hello,

    Here some photos of the production of Cockpit.

    There are a few hours of work, but I hope to finish this weekend.

    Regarding the programming board, I'm still having problems, I'll buy a new serial cable to do another test tomorrow.

    Grateful for the return of all
