We have a working Airspeed indicator! Please excuse the terrible 'flying' in the demo - I can't fly a Hunter well with those tiny control sticks but this was the easiest way to show things working.
The ASI is 3D printed (except for the laser cut acrylic face and 'glass') and uses single RC servo with some custom scripting on an arduino micro processor and a python script on the PC. Yes, the needle is jerky and it lags behind the simulator but it's a sound proof of concept.
All being well I'll have this running at The Cockpit Gathering in Doncaster this weekend!
