I wanted to check if it is possible to build a usable PFD to be used in an aircraft. Certification is quite another issue, but it does work satisfactory. A lot to be done still!
Display complexity is increasing. Changed the whiskers to aircraft icon. Added a VSI, colored speedbar with (user programmable) speedbugs, altitude bug and heading bug. Still 12-13 frames per second performance. Changed the name of the project to Primary Flight Display.
Todo:
- slip/skid indicator
- HSI screen
- coupling to GPS to determine groundspeed and ground-track
Added a slip indicator (slip ball) and a annunciator block at the bottom where the status of the GPS, magnetic compass, SD card and the battery is shown.
