Interface

The heart of the SIM-MODULES is the so called Main Module, an interface card which is directly connected to the PC. The single Avionic Modules (see "MODULES") are then connected to this Main Module.

The Main Module itself is a powerful interface card, offering the possibility to connect up to

-> 64 switches, pushbuttons or LEDs

-> 8 rotary encoders

-> 8 analogue axes*

-> 1 LC-Display with up to 4x40 characters*

*either the analogue axes or the LCD can be connected

Additionally, it is possible to connect up to 16 more of these versatile interface cards - that gives a total number of 1088 digital I/Os, 136 rotary encoders, 136 analogue axes or 17 LC-Displays - which should be enough even for larger home cockpit projects.

The best thing is - the usage of these interface cards is NOT limited to Flight Simulation!

Thanks to the SIM-MODULES Control Panel it is possible to use the system for a variaty of other purposes, like

-> mp3 or DVD control, e.g. a stylish player panel next to the living room's couch - instead of an unesthetic PC keyboard

-> music software, like Guitar Rig(R) or any mixer software that otherwise would be controlled via mouse/keyboard

-> often needed work steps at home or in office, like applying multiple filters in Photo Shop(R) using one single hardware button

-> and many, many more... the limit is your imagination!

Long story short - everything, you could do on your PC using keyboard and mouse - can now be done with REAL hardware. It's so easy!
