- The next step is configure the Postep60-265 programmable motor driver. We do that in PoStep60v1.20 application. Use USB cable to connect with the PoStep60-256. Run the PoStep60v1.20.exe and in a Driver setup tab select “Enable auto run” and set Modbus address and configuration. In our case we will set address to “0x20” and choose “BR: 9600; P: Even” configuration.

Pin (from top to bottom) Function Pin (continued) Function -AX8 Limit- for axis 8 -AX4 Limit- for axis 4.
Polabs PoLabs 2. Pololu Pololu 52. Best Motor Driver. This is the best motor driver ever with plenty of configuration options.
If you want to build your own procedure trainer or fully fledged home cockpit, the hardware interface is the core of all. Somehow, you need to connect all the buttons and lamps to your computer. Here is a list of some suppliers:
Europe
Opencockpits, Spain
http://www.opencockpits.org/
Wide range of interface cards plus lots of other hardware.
Drivers: Official drivers for Windows only. Driver development for other platforms is not desired - Opencockpits does not provide hardware communication SDK. No Flightgear implementation yet.

Very nice USB HID hardware interfaces.
Drivers: None required. Interfaces register as USB joystick/keyboard at the computer. The interfaces are programmed with a MSWIN software with keycodes and/or macros. For using the interface NO software is necessary. The whole config is stored on the interface itself!
