Greetings from the Czech Republic!
I started to build the 3D Printing 737 MCP and after printing the parts I realized that when I screw the Arduino mounts on the brace then both Arduinos end up not aligned against the USB and power plug holes in the rear box plate. Everything else aligns perfectly so it seems that it is an issue with the Arduino Mount STL that needs to have the mounting holes for the frame shifted to the right by about 3.5mm.
I'm using the version 5 of the STLs that are available for download.
Attaching few photos of the issue...
Cheers,
Zdenek

With 120 Ohm resistors resulting in "eyes-burning green laser" level of brightness of the KD-22 LEDs instead of swapping the resistors for higher value ones I used the PWM modulation (as I connected all the LEDs to the Arduino's PWM pins) and then in Mobiflight when configuring outputs I did set the strength of the output to about 12 which results in a nicely dim KD-22 LEDs that are no longer blinding me during night :)
I just saw a Karl's video that he suggeste use 220 ohms. , quite bright.. maybe ill use 120 for FD's and AT...
hi there finally done!! mine is 80%.. just a question. kind resistor did you used for K2 22 swithch?
So... It is done! Now... Back to hibernation sleep until the PMDG 737 for MSFS is released... :)
@Karl - Thanks for a great project!
Hi Karl
I admire your work very much.
I just finished printing the mcp. It wasn't easy to print the parts with my ender3 v2, but I did it! Thank you.
Hello Zdenek,
I have the same issue.
Could you send a picture of the 180degree rotation you did?
I tried different position for the Arduino mount but still could not solve the problem.
Thanks,
Pierre
OK a quick update as I was able to catch Karl online using the web chat feature and he was able to point out my mistake where I mounted the Arduino brace rotated by 180 degrees which caused the misalignment of the Arduinos.
Sorry everyone for a false alarm and maybe this piece of information may help someone else in case the make the same mistake as I did.
Thank You, Karl for a quick response and pointing out my mistake! I hope that my chat messages did not wake you up in the middle of the night or something ;)
Cheers,
Zdenek
