Update.

Yeah. This year brings a change and then it took almost an year to type next post. This year has certainly not been a quiet one! Lots happening on job side of life and even more happening on private projects side. So what is going on, you may ask. Lets see... Since last post (january): Flight simulator: - Acquired some simulation hardware: yoke system  and pedals - Acquired a nice 40" LED TV (Samsung) for side view, still looking a good deal for another side view. - Acquired one PC for visuals (in addition to two existing PCs and one Mac) - Acquired enough X-Plane 10 licences to run three display system - Created proof of concept system for connecting avionics panel etc. to X-Plane 10 via Raspberry Pi Kitchen remodeling: - Connected range hood to home automation system via Electric Imp - One cabinet door still missing hinges. I think I need to build my own hinges... - Floor needs to be sanded and refinished. I think this will be outsourced. - Countertop lights

Hiljaista tällä rintamalla...

"General" because it will be used as a basis for all gauges in future. Kitchen remodeling Almost done, two cabinet doors need some thinking because of hinge issues. Floor needs to be sanded and refinished. Replaced 30yrs old house fan with Vilpe 190p Eco . (It can be controlled with 0-10V DC signal so that will also be controlled by home automation system. Currently there is just a pontetiometer in kitchen for speed control.) Also replaced 30+yrs old Valmet range hood with Savo PK26 . Installation was quite difficult because I had to remove some unneeded parts first. I wonder if this voids the warranty... Now pulling the hood open contro
