Hi,

this is a pic of my (still to complete) replica of the ATR 72-500 autopilot module.
The keyboard panel and the keys were built and engraved by John Russell (you can see its ATR home cockpit in my website, cockpits section).
The module is not yet complete but keyboard functions, CRS, HDG, ALT, VS and NAV1 selectors (CTS-288 rotary encoders) are fully working.
The entire module (including displays, rotary encoders and the Master Card) is managed by a program that I developed according with FCOM.
The wood structure will be painted with black.
Details are on my website at http://digilander.libero.it/washburn_it where you can also download a freeware set of glass cockpit instruments and read a "how to" tutorial to drive LCD displays through the parallel port (LCD section).
I hope you will like it, regards.

Bob

NB: displays appear dark because of the camera flash.
