I think I could drive an ASI, AI, TC, VSI and engine guages using Phidgets
just by writing FG values to a phidgets device in the correct sense but
anything more is rocket-science to me due to the code involved.
http://www.f15sim.com/index.html is a website you might try. He is
using Phidgets
to drive some of his gauges. Don't have the details.
I think most of the Phidget software is MS Windows based although some
of it is being ported to
Linux ( how much and when I don't know )
I might be wrong and have not examined any of the software or interfaces
closely but I think you'll
need to do more a bit more than just write FG values to a device. If
Phidgets aren't the answer, might consider breadboarding up a circuit
via a USB I/O port along with the software. I've been working on some
electronics for
a slightly different application, but this might be an interesting
derivative.
If you want to handle the physical stuff, I could find some time to help
with the electronics and software. You can
