The SimVimX System is a flexible, powerful and easy-to-use Input/Output interface for home cockpit builders that makes it easy to create your own cockpit without spending a lot of money or time since no programming or electronics skills are required. Only cheap, mainly ready to use electronics modules are used without need to order or make any complex PCBs. It is not necessary to know X-Plane's data structure and scripts, only a basic understanding of datarefs can be useful for custom conversion.
1) SimVimX Plugin for X-Plane is the most essential part of the system. It provides data processing for output, receives data from the master controller board and communicates with the panel simulator (SimVimPanel program).
2) Firmware for Atmega 2560 controller is a highly optimized program code, written from scratch, without using Arduino libraries, to handle a huge number of inputs and different output devices, data exchange between the SimVimX plugin and the slave controller boards.
