DCS A-10C UFC

This project is basically a home grown attempt to create a functional UFC for the A-10C module of the flight sim DCS World. It is based on a simple 6x6 keyboard matrix interfaced to the PC via an Arduino Microcontroller. There are the wiring scematics, a PCB layout and Blender files for an enclosure which should be 3D printable.

The PCB has sockets for plug in capability of either the Uno or Nano variety of Arduino Controller.

The code was originally created to work specifically for the A-10C module, however, since the F/A-18 simulation also has a UFC, there is an optional connection for a switch which can be used to change modes between the A-10 and the F-18. There is also a connector for an external reset switch, which would be best used once you change aircraft modes, reset the controller to have it reboot into the correct mode.

The required software would be: DCS-BIOS, preferably the branch that includes the F/A-18 support Arduino Studio Keypad Library for Arduino - Authors: Mark Stanley, Alexander Brevig DCS-BIOS-Arduino Library Original version - http://dcs-bios.a10c.de/ Branch with F/A-18 support - https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=210960

Optional software would be: KiCAD - for the schematics and PCB layout Blender - for the 3D printable components of an enclosure
