Today I have finished the first step of my inflight entertainment system.
A script is triggered via a pushbutton to open VLC player with a predefined video.
Via VLC Remote for android I can control the VLC player and start other videos for longer flights.
Not real for a 737, but a nice feature in my homecockpit.

Today I have created a short video from the lower DU.
Today I have finished rewiring the Audio Panel (both sides).
You can now control PA, Speaker, Marker, ADF1 and NAV1 also from the 1st officer side.
With implementing the programming from the last post I have now also created a video that shows the function working well with Squawkbox.

Today I can present you the next update from the gear leveler of my Homecockpit.
The Leveler was fully handmade.
Next week it will receive the correct colour to be than built into the MIP.
Today we have nearly finished the gear leveler.
A picture from all single used parts in the leveler:
All parts built together:
Testing in the MIP (of course it will be painted black):
The video below shows the movement. We have 2 pipes. The smaller runs in the bigger one and is on the back spring loaded.
