Hello Everyone

I have designed and 3D printed a wet compass for use with Mobiflight. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in writing a tutorial for the wiring and Arduino setup that could be hosted along with the STL files? I don't have much experience with Mobiflight and even less with electronics, I know just enough to get into trouble : ) I thought having the STL files to go along with the tutorial might be a good way of getting more people interested in Mobiflight and help keep the momentum going behind the continued development of this great software.

hello bishop

I would have very much interest in the compass, a 3d printer I have also the stepper and the driver board.
You can send me the stl file (I have a Dreamer 3d printer) and the software is the compass

Many greetings herbert

Thanks Herbert, I will send you the STL file tonight. I am going to add a couple zap strap points so the motor mount can be secured.

Cheers

Hello bishop! from Argentina, I was able to do all the electronic part of the compass and it works perfectly, any query I am at your disposal, regarding the design for 3D printer of the compass I would be interested if it is not much annoyance to ask for a copy so I can print it since I am making the cabin a cessna and that compass would be ideal. Yours sincerely, and thank you very much.:) pabloearaujo@gmail.com
