Simulator info pages
Arduino, Air Manager or XPLplugin to XPlane, info pages and working examples
On these pages we have different examples of how to connect your hardware to the simulator.
For this we use mostly Air Manager which gives you the possibility to gather data from
P3D, FSX, FSE, XPlane and in the future FS2020.
Air Manager is flexible and works with LUA scripting, so it is always possible to make small changes
to existing scripts. There is also a active forum with lot’s of helfull people and info.
Have you made some cool stuff, share it with us and it will be listed here.
What is Air Manager and how can you connect hardware
to an Arduino and connect to different simulators with live data.
We fully support following sims now FSX, Prepar3D, Xplane
XPlane plugin - connect directly from Arduino without extra software
Last week I came across a new plugin for XPLane and
did some tests which were simply wonderfull.
Writing minimal code and controlling datarefs and
commands in XPlane 11.
Datarefs can be read, write or readwrite.
You can add a series of datarefs to query.

Nano 3.0 Atmega328 5V 16 MHz with USB-cable.
Only available pre programmed with the
Air Manager Message Port library to be used
with 4 sets of MicroDrivers.
For example NAV and COM
With this NANO and the free LUA script for Air Manager
you can build 2 radios (4 displays). Very easy,
everybode can get this to work.
!! If you want to program yourself… all files are available
7 segment MicroDrivers, connected to Arduino - beginners use
NAV-COM radio with connected displays and encoders
and transfer buttons.
2 Arduino Nano’s are use in this example
1 Nano handles the 4 displays for the NAV and COM radio’s.
The second Nano handles the encoders and the
transfer buttons.
Info about these examples via NAV COM radios
7-segment drivers and displays, MicroDrivers connected to Arduino - Advance use
Complete examples with scripts and everything
you need to know to get 7 segment drivers working
via Arduino and connect them to XPlane, FSX or
Prepar3D.
See these examples via MicroDrivers AirManager
!! All LUA scripts and necessary Arduino sketches are available
Driving a RPM gauge with Arduino connected to XPlane, cablibration included
Example of how to use a stepper motor and
ULN driver to bring a RPM gauge to live and run it
with the data from XPlane, also possible for FSX or P3D
The stepper is connected via the driver to 4 digital ports
on the arduino. The calibration switch is connected
directly to a port on Arduino. The data comes from
XPlane via AirManager, the script does not take more
then a few lines
