Main Board V2 and ECM panel

New PSCockpit Main Board V2 features:


You will find the following features in the new Main Board V2.
- Reverse power protection.
- Overvoltage protection.
- Power tracks augmented to avoid voltage drops.
- New power terminal block suitable for wire size ranging from 22AWG to 12AWG.
- SMD resistors and capacitors.
- New 18F4550 TQFP.
- Interrupt inputs moved to I2C channel connectors.
- Added power led.

Dimensions of the board and position of the connectors have been left in the same position for compatibility with the old version pcb.

ECM board



The ECM board has been designed to drive all leds and switches of the F-16 ECM panel.

The dimmer knob of the ECM is implemented in this pcb so you will be able to dim all the ECM lights.

The ECM board comes with the following elements:
- ( 1 ) 16 I/O chip to be connected to the digital I/O I2C channel of the PSCockpit system and its elements (resistors, connectors, …) to work with 5V to drive the switches of the left side of the ECM panel
- ( 1 ) 40 I/O chip to be connected to the digital I/O I2C channel of the PSCockpit system and its elements (resistors, connectors, …) to work with 5V to drive the switches and lights of the right side of the ECM panel
- ( 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:
- ( 1 ) Connector for backlight illumination.
- ( 2 ) Connectors for digital I/O I2C channel.
- ( 2 ) Mini-switch to select 16I/O and 40I/O chips I2C channel addresses.
- ( 1 ) Connector for free digital I/Os.

To complete the ECM panel, you will need to add the following elements:
- ECM front panel
- ECM Intermediate plate
- ECM pushbutton covers
