BENDIX KAP 140 - Simulation AutoPilot - for Cessna 172 - DIY

Build your own autopilot for simulation cockpit.
Format for 6.25" stack
Electronics are design with EasyEDA.
3D parts are design with SolidWorks.
Parts printed with ANET A8 and CURA 15.04.6 Only electronics, you can choose the microcontroller of your choice, the base design have addtionnal card for Mega2560R3. For mine i use Mega2560R3 and Mobiflight on MSFS2020--> MOBIFLIGHT
For others controllers you need to design the support for the card, or add wires to link them.
