737 Motorised throttle unit

Question

Hi Vlad

I know other have posted similar but I didn't see a reply. I want to control the Zibo 737 throttles and speed brake using servos and or steppers. Is this possible using SimVimX?

I am building the motorised throttle unit from DIY737.com. I would love to be able to control it using SimVimX

The configurator allows for an analogue input for the throttles but no output control. Is this possible?

Thanks

Mark

Answer 1

Hi Mark,
Yest both these functions are implemented in SimVimX.
Assign the A/T control in the [Autopilot] section of the configurator,
and the speedbrake -in the [Flight Control.

You can read here is about the speedbrake.
And here.

Hi Vlad

Thanks for this. Is there a way to control the trim wheels and trim needles?

For the trim I’m using a stepper (but could convert to a servo) and for the trim wheels I’m thinking of using a relay output to control a dc motor. I can connect the Motor circuit through a N/O contact so I can use a powerful motor

is this possible?
