Airduino

These files document the case for the Airduino 4.3 Beta, an open-source experimental Primary Flight Display (glass cockpit) for experimental aircraft. At this point, this project remains very much in beta testing. Visit the link above to learn more about the project. The files include: • AirduinoBezel: This is the front face of the instrument. Print as shown. • AirduinoLayer2: This screws to the back of the bezel and cradles the Arduino Mega 2560 and screen. Flip over to print. • AirduinoLayer3: This is glued to the back of Layer2, eliminating as much support structure as possible. Flip over to print. • AirduinoBatteryPowerCover: Not used in the current version of the Airduino but may be used as development progresses. Print as shown. • AirduinoPitotStaticCover: Attached to the back of Layer3 with silicone sealant and screws, it provides airtight seals for air data chips sensing pitot and static pressures. Print as shown. • AirduinoSensorHolder: An optional part that holds the battery and other convenient chips (like AHRS) when the system is not yet mounted in a vehicle. Ribs face up while printing. • AirduinoKnobs: These are knobs for the encoder switch, each with slightly different diameter shaft openings to find a good fit. Openings should be down to print. Note that this is a beta project and its accuracy depends on the digital AHRS used. The completed project is shown in a stationary ground trainer used by Southern Illinois University as a recruiting aid.
