The first version of this article was written when the old 7-segment driver boards were released. By now I have added some info on how to do the same with our 7 segment MicroDriver boards. As an example of how easy it is to build a radio I will show you below the steps to follow for completing a B737 or A320 COM radio or NAV radio. I will show you how I made it, complete with ready to use parts from my shop. I will show you the wiring using my 7-segment display driver boards that can be used to connect via Pokeys USB or pokeys Ethernet to ProSim 737, A320 or P3D, FSX X-Plane. My display driver boards can be used with all these software packages. Now also possible with Arduino see
Build a working radio in 5 minutes using our MicroDrivers 2 MicroDrivers are needed for 1 radio The 2 MicroDrivers are mounted directly behind the openings in the frontpanel. No wiring to the displays is needed because the displays are plugged onto the MicroDriver board. Each MicroDriver connects with 4 wires to the PoKeys card or Arduino card. See connection details here
Finished radio with 7 segment MicroDrivers fast, easy and very simple !!!
Below is the configuration in ProSim via the “Combined Config” screen, same configuration for B737 or A320
And the result on the displays

Configuration of a NAV radio
And the result on the displays
Can be used with: Prosim B737, Prosim A320, Arduino, Pokeys, Full support now for Arduino via serial.read communication and Airmanager Scripts available for FSX, P3D and XPlane here
