Pokeys controller - A fast NAV/COM radio connected to ProSim 737
The first version of this article was written when the old 7-segment driver boards were released.
By now I have added some info on how to do the same with our 7 segment MicroDriver boards.
As an example of how easy it is to build a radio I will show you below the steps to follow for
completing a B737 or A320 COM radio or NAV radio. I will show you how I made it, complete
with ready to use parts from my shop.
I will show you the wiring using my 7-segment display driver boards that can be used to connect via
Pokeys USB or pokeys Ethernet to ProSim 737, A320 or P3D, FSX X-Plane. My display driver boards can
be used with all these software packages. Now also possible with Arduino see
Build a working radio in 5 minutes using our MicroDrivers
2 MicroDrivers are needed for 1 radio
The 2 MicroDrivers are mounted directly
behind the openings in the frontpanel.
No wiring to the displays is needed because the
displays are plugged onto the MicroDriver boards.
Each MicroDriver connect with 4 wires
to theArduino card.

Finished radio with 7 segment MicroDrivers
fast, easy and very simple !!!
Below is the configuration in ProSim via the “Combined Config” screen,
same configuration for B737 or A320
And the result on the displays
