PS Cockpit System Description

System Description

- One stop hardware and software for cockpit systems. Once the cockpit is connected you can configure the software individually for each sim.
- Easy configuration and setup for people without electronic knowledge.
- Avoid excessive wiring runs along the cockpit.

The system uses small satellite PCB’s that can be distributed along the cockpit. The communication between these satellite PCB’s and the Main PCB is done with only 2 wires (I2C protocol) plus the power cables. These wires can be connected in daisy chain. The idea is to wire each of the cockpit panels to only one satellite PCB. See F16 distribution example:

PSCockpit V1.0.6u1 Software Update with Smart Lights Controller

The new version V.1.0.6U1 auto installable version of the PS Cockpit Software is available for download!!Do not forget to install and run this version with admin rights!

New version of PSCockpit software V1.0.6U1 with Smart Lights controller: Download

CHANGELOG V 1.0.6 U1
- Engine OIL, RPM, FTIT and NOZZLE values added to stepper motors (Airplane model).
- New stepper page to include scales for non uniform gauges (Steppers).
- Added CMDS option to LCD diplays (LCD)
- Fixed a bug in DCS clock time
- Added Smart Lights controller (Smart Lights)



The above page of PSCockpit software allows you to control your home Smart Lights for several uses with BMS and DCS (Ambient Light, Position Lights, Flares and Cannon) causing the effect of seeing lights reflections on your cockpit when using the VR Mixed Reality Cockpit Cover passthrough.

Be aware that the controller can be used only with smart lights using Magic Home set of commands. Smart lights using Tuya, Fitop or similar applications are not valid. For your information, the smart light I have used for testing is the following: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0CGWJ83WQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

AMBIENT LIGHT

The Ambient Light purpose is to emulate the sun light during your flight and can be configured to be used with fixed times of sunrise, sun noon and sunset and the ratio of cool white and warm light at any time to create the sunrise/sunset effects and golden hours.

For these effects to happen you will need to read the local times of your mission and setup these times in the configuration. Also, the Sim Time Zone to translate the shared memory current time of BMS which is given in Zulu time.

Alternatively, the Ambien Light can be configured to calculate the sunrise, sunset and sun noon knowing the date of the flight and the Time Zone. This option will read the longitude, latitude and current time from the BMS shared memory to calculate sunrise, sunset and sun noon.

The Visibility slider decrease the brightness of the ambient smart light by a factor to emulate adverse weather conditions as clouds, fog, smoke, …

You can also setup a default light configuration used when you are not in a flight.

Hopefully sunrise, sunset, sun noon times and visibility can be read from the BMS shared memory in the future to emulate this function accurately during flight.

Position lights, flares and cannon configuration is self-explanatory.

HOW TO Configure the ECM Panel

For ECM pcb description, options and how to configure the expander address, see PSCockpit Quick Guide V.7 – ECM PCB. You can access the Quick Guide from Help/Quick Guide menu in the PSCockpit software.

The ECM pcb must be configured both digital expanders.

ECM-LIGHTS DIGITAL EXPANDER

To configure the PSCockpit ECM-LIGHTS panel select the correct option from the Expander pull down list in the IOLayout page of the PS Cockpit Software at the correct I2C channel:

In case of there is some data already in the selected expander, the software will prompt you for continue:

The software will prompt you to setup the ECM panel in our Airplane model:

If you accept, the Airplane page will show up and the lights of the ECM indicator will be configured. 

The software will also prompt you to add the standard BMS commands for the ECM Lights pushbuttons:

If you accept, the software will prompt you to search for your BMS .key file, typically in ..\Falcon BMS vX.X\User\Config folder, and will automatically search for the keystrokes you have set in your .key file for the ECM Lights pushbuttons:

If any of the commands hasn't been set, you will see a warning indicating how many commands haven't been set and the Commands page of the PSCockpit software will appear:

Once the ECM panel is already configured you can modify the list of inputs/outputs as desire as well as the free I/O of the expander:

ECM-PUSHBUTTONS DIGITAL EXPANDER

In the same way the expander ECM-Pushbuttons can be configured in PSCockpit IOLayout:

This expander has only pusbuttons to configure. Just follow the procedure as above.

Once the ECM Pushbutton expander is already configured you can modify the list of inputs/outputs as desire as well as the free I/O of the expander:

- ( 1 ) Dimmer pot and all the elements to control the dim action of the ECM lights
- ( 2 ) Toggle switches ON-OFF-ON with locking lever for XMIT and ECM power.
- ( 2 ) Pushbuttons for Reset and Bit
- ( 8 ) Pushbuttons for ECM lights
- ( 8 ) SMD yellow leds for ECM lights
- ( 8 ) SMD green leds for ECM lights
- ( 8 ) SMD red leds for ECM lights
- ( 8 ) SMD blue leds for ECM lights
- ( 9 ) SMD leds for lettering backlight.
- ( 10 ) Free digital I/Os

You will find the following elements in the backside:
