I’ve been working on the X27 168 stepper controllers to find that there is no need to make a board for these steppers.
They can be connected directly to an I/O board with the following two limitations:
- It won’t be valid for high speed gauges (i.e Altimeter). This is because the motor has a 1:180 gear ratio and needs 6 steps for one motor turn. That gives us 1080 steps for a 360ยบ dial.
- It will only valid for gauges with equally distributed scale.
Good thing is that we can use them for Cabin Press, EPU Fuel and Hyd Press gauges and even Clock and Fuel Gauge using the X40.879 which comes with a double coaxial independent shafts.

UHF Pcb for the PSCockpit System
The new UHF board has been designed with (1) 40 I/O chip that can be connected to the digital I/O I2C channel of the PSCockpit system. It comes with corresponding elements (resistors, connectors …) to work with 5V and one selectable mini-switch to select the desire I2C address.
Also included are the following components:
- (2) Mini pushbuttons.
- (2) Rotary switches
- (7) Incremental encoders for digit selection, channel selection and volume.
- (9) 7 segment displays for frequency (6) and channel (3)
- (2) Mini toggle switches 3 positions
- SMD leds for lettering backlight.
You will find the following elements in the backside:
- (1) Connector for backlight illumination.
- (2) Connector for digital I/O I2C channel,
- (1) Miniswitch to select digital I2C channel address
- (1) Connector for free digital I/O of the 40 I/O board. You can use them to connect other switches.
To complete the UHF you will have to add by yourself the front UHF panel.
You can check the following dimensions of the UHF panel at

PSCockpit Caution Panel PCB and Caution Panel Extension PCB
The PSCockpit Caution Panel PCB is ready to be connected to the PSCockpit system as an extension board in any of the I2C channels. It comes with its own 40 I/O chip and the selectable I2C address switch.
The Caution Panel Extension has been designed to extend the Caution Panel to be used in the A10 cockpit. It is connected to the Caution Panel and no more cables are required. It comes with its own 16 I/O chip and the selectable I2C address switch.
Just remember that you can only connect 8 extension boards per I2C channel.
Main Features:
- SMD leds in two colours -green and yellow- selectable by a rear switch.
- 8 free I/O in the Caution Panel.
- All connections in the back side.
Dimensions:
- Caution Panel pcb: 115,5 x 104 mm
- Caution Panel Extension pcb: 115,5 x 47 mm
