The PIC HomeCockpit Controller (PHCC)

If you are unfamiliar with PHCC, read the Introduction.

PHCC Overview

The system consists of a motherboard and a variety of application specific daughterboards.

PHCC Motherboard

PHCC Daughterboards

Getting PHCC

How/Where to get PHCC

Running PHCC

To get your PHCC setup up and running, read Running PHCC. <br> There, you will also find information on Firmware installing and updating, testing, and so on.

Software

Software that interfaces with PHCC on one side, and your simulator (or whatever it may be) on the other: PHCC Compatible Software

Support

Mainly through Forums.

F16 specific daughter boards

Daughter boards created specifically to simplify the wiring of an F16 pit

-***count things up: 3 CDUs, glareshield, MIP, pedestal, overhead, circuit breaker overhead, and more
+Software that interfaces with  PHCC on one side, and your simulator (or whatever it may be) on the other:
-**can be upgraded in steps of 64 per daughterboard
+[[PHCC Compatible Software]]
-*35 channels analog in
-**3 primary: eg for aileron,elevator,rudder
-**32 secondary: eg for throttles, reversers, toe brakes, steering tiller, radio volume control, brightness,...

-***firmware (PIC assembly language)
-***and controlling software on the host (PC) that talks (at least) to the flightgear simulator ([http://www.flightgear.org/ FlightGear])
+[[Special care with the PIC18F2220]]
-***kernel drivers (eg. for the analog channels used for joystick input)
-**usually third party software is also released as open source, or at least as freeware
