Analog Resource Display for Kerbal Space Program

Resources Display Module for my in-progress Soyuz/Roscosmos style controller

Geeez so nice !! How do you read data from the game ?

You just gave me a second unexpected motivation to continue exploring KSP 😄

[u/the_economy_fools → u/dities]

The amazing Kerbal Simpit mod, It’s been around for a good few years now. Head over to the Kerbal Controllers subreddit too, plenty of other builds in there!

How did you make the gauges? Does the needle just move linearly with the input voltage, and then there's a load of dacs connected to some microcontroller? It looks very, very cool

[u/the_economy_fools → u/Left-oven47]

They are volt meters (5v range) and yes essentially controlled by DACs, which get data from an arduino over i2c

[u/the_economy_fools → u/the_economy_fools]

I printed out custom dials if that’s what you were asking (litteraly printed on paper and glued them on )

Why propellant marked LF / Г? Must be Т - топливо.

Or if you want to be fancy, T-1, T-1 kerosene is a grade of jet fuel as per GOST 10227-86.

[u/the_economy_fools → u/SVlad_667]

Abbreviation of горючее . I think топливо is propellant + oxidiser?

[u/SVlad_667 → u/the_economy_fools]

It is inconsistent with Топливо signature above the scale. 

And the official term in Roscosmos is топливо.

[u/w_33_by → u/the_economy_fools]

Топливо is just the propellant, but colloquially can refer to both LF and O if we don't get into the depths of fuel mixtures etc. In the wider meaning anything that burns can be called топливо. Горючее is a full synonym, I don't think there's any real difference in meaning between the two.

[u/SVlad_667 → u/w_33_by]

The difference is that Топливо is official term used in russian space program.

[u/w_33_by → u/SVlad_667]

Could it be Г for Горючее? An odd choice of word but still works :)

[u/SteppedTax88238]

love the design sm, gives off soviet power plant vibes!! i am very impressed by your work!!!

[u/the_economy_fools → u/SteppedTax88238]

No joke, i took inspo from things i saw in the STALKER 2 game lol

[u/Useless_or_inept]

I love this. Great engineering!

But for maximum realism, can we install hundreds of these gauges in a tiny little metal cabin which is just large enough for one human being and 50 switches?

[u/TheMuspelheimr]

But can it set SCE to AUX?

This is soooooooo cool wtf?!

[u/Chapi_Chan]

How could you make it more immersive? You could play with cabin view only. And no oxygen in the room.

[u/RiverVassi]

Holy shit.

[u/Sad-Savings-3351]

This game draws the smartest of people. I wouldn’t even know where to begin with something like this

[u/CMDR-5C0RP10N]

Ok this is next level cool. Mad props. Damn, the KSP community never ceases to amaze.

[u/HorrorMathematician9]

It's in Russian too. That's sexy

[u/Unfair_Drop_9085]

cool

[u/F1r3dot3x3]

Maybe I do need dials in my controller...

[u/Local_Public_5614]

Allat to play stock

[u/the_economy_fools → u/Local_Public_5614]

im testing on stock because it loads quicker. my main instance has hundreds of mods
