PFD-100 Avionics Package (Attitude, Airspeed, Altitude, and Heading)

The new version of this has been released as the PFD-300 which can be found here. If you are looking to use the 3x1 display, this is for you.

The PFD-100 is a comprehensive avionics solution for you cockpit. The microcontroller will deliver all of your critical flight information on only three 1x1 displays. This microcontroller can perform the role of an altimeter, artificial horizon, airspeed indicator, compass/HSI, and a vertical speed indicator using only 3 small displays.

The left display gives airspeed information, including a color coded airspeed tape that indicates when you are near overspeeding or stalling. A magenta tape also shows the current acceleration of the aircraft.

The center display provides attitude information with an artificial horizon and heading information on the compass band.

The right display has an altitude tape that gives precise altitude information. A magenta vertical speed indicator is also present next to the altitude tape.

This microcontroller has a 3x4 footprint and 11 nodes, listed below.
Inputs
-Pitch - Forward facing tilt sensor
-Roll - Left facing tilt sensor
-Orientation Check - Upward facing tilt sensor
-Heading - Compass sensor
-Vertical Speed - Linear speed sensor (vertical mode)
-Altitude - Altimeter sensor
-Airspeed - Wind speed from wind sensor
-Autopilot Integration Microcontroller - Composite input from auxiliary controller
Outputs
-Left Display Video
-Center Display Video
-Right Display Video

Installing and configuring this microcontroller is quite simple. Just connect all of the outputs from the required sensors to their respective nodes on the microcontroller. Don't forget to supply power and turn on your displays. The optimal setup is using three 1x1 displays aligned next to each other, but any custom configuration will work as well.

There are a few options in the microcontroller properties that must be configured to ensure that it is perfect for your aircraft. They should be self explanatory but it may take a test flight or two to figure out the specific speeds for your aircraft.

An addon module is available on the workshop. This module takes data from your autopilot and displays it on the PFD-100. It adds a heading and altitude bug (pointer) to the PFD. Get the controller here.

And a special thanks to jbaker96 for the attitude indicators code. The code was sampled from his PFD found here.

Go ahead and use use this in any of your creations. Credit would be great if you publish on the workshop. Please do not repost this microcontroller.
