Description

A very easy-to-build Variometer for flight simulation. In analogy to my Airspeed Indicator it comes in two different versions: Either articulation by an SG-90 micro servo or with a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor (recommended). 

UPDATE 2024-12-21: Fusion 360 Source added

Material needed:
4 Screws M4x20
1 SG-90 micro servo (including screws) 
OR
1 28BYJ-48 stepper motor with SMD driver board plus 2 Screws M4x10 

The stepper driver board can be clipped onto the rear of the base. For the gauge print either the pdf or the png at 84x84mm size.

Stepper Version: 
Software for X-Plane 12 for the complete Sixpack can be found on Github MartinRusk/Sixpack (github.com)

Servo Version:
Software for X-Plane 12 and a PCB design available on GitHub within my Attitude Indicator project: MartinRusk/Attitude-Indicator (github.com)

Use with MobiFlight is also possible for MSFS, please refer to MobiFlight documentation. 

See also my other Flight Instruments:
Altimeter for Flight Simulation
Gyro Compass for Flight Simulation
Airspeed Indicator for Flight Simulation 
Attitude Indicator for Flight Simulation
Turn Coordinator for Flight Simulation

and my

Modular Cockpit Panel for Flight Simulation

to integrate everything without the need for woodwork.

Please visit also the FlightSimMaker Discord!

Can optionally be combined with my Spacer Frame with Glas for Flight Simulation Instruments. 

Stay tuned for more instruments to come!
