Garmin G1000 for flight sim

thingiverse

This set of files is designed to enable laser cutting and engraving of panels for a G1000 PFD, MFD, and audio panel. Additionally, 3D printing requirements for button caps and knobs will also be met. The resulting G1000 panels can then be used in conjunction with flight simulator software such as X-Plane, P3D, or MSFS. The dimensions of the G1000 panels are based on actual unit measurements, taking into account available screen size, buttons, and knobs/encoders. While it's not a perfect 1:1 representation, I believe it closely resembles real devices in terms of look and feel, providing a more immersive experience than traditional 2D/3D cockpit interactions. Each G1000 panel utilizes a 10.4" LCD at 1024x768 resolution. The buttons are 7mm x 7mm momentary push buttons, requiring additional rotary encoders including five dual rotary encoders and a 4-way mini-joystick with rotary and push control. Electronics requirements for each G1000 unit are met by an Arduino Mega 2560, while the audio panel uses an Arduino Nano. These devices will connect to Air Manager for actual control and simulator integration, though Sim VimCockpit / ArdSimX should also function properly.
