A test circuit on breadboard for my Autothrottles (moving throttle levers for my flight simulator) project. (5 photos)

I created some prototype boards for PIC16F887 and AVRMega8L μControllers to play with. These are one-sided boards. The "silkscreen" (printing on the component side) didn't come out perfect - the laser toner doesn't stick as well to the laminate side as it does to the copper side. It's (mostly) readable, though, so it serves its purpose. (4 photos)

My PIC Programmer (the PICkit 2 USB programmer from Microchip) just arrived, along with a PIC 16F887 experiment board. To try it out, I hooked it up to an LCD display unit that I've had since many years but never tried. After googling for some datasheets and writing a bit of assembly code, it was up and running. PIC processors may be simple and slightly weird, but they're damn fun to play with! (3 photos)

My flight sim setup back in the day when thigs like dual monitors, projectors and flightsim yokes/pedals were something exclusive and cool! (6 photos)
