Since working with the arduino / teensy is so easy, I'll checkout to build a custom FIP.
Roughly calculated it should be possible to build a fip (with even biger screen or higher resolution and touch) for less than $60 (opposed to >$150 for the saitek one)

I await more info as they are not available at any good/bad price in OZ.

Hi
Looking forward to the outcome

This is great news, cant wait to see how to make this all happen!

Do you have any idea if this be based on the Teensy 3.5? or one of the other?
If not I will wait to get one.

I will let you know as soon as my tft arrived and i played with it on the teensy. Currently i favorize the teensy 3.5 as it's cheap, small and good to program

HIGHLY interested.

My first try will be this ones :
https://www.pjrc.com/store/display_ili9341_touch.html and https://www.pjrc.com/store/display_ili9341.html together with a teensy 3.2
The first one is even touch and higher res, so one might not need hardware buttons. will check if it's still big enough for my clumsy fingers
Both are a little bit smaller (2.8/2.2 inches opposed to 3.5 on FIP). I'll report and make some pics videos about the diffrence.

Due to the amazing speed, I'll try to offload the complete rendering to the teensy. This could save a looot of cpu on the sim computer. Only problem will be the storage/ram. Might need to add a SD card then or go for Teensy 3.5/3.6 which has it boarded already.

Hi OldAirMail,
Is the US mail really as much to post thing as PJRC are quoting?

And don't forget Taxes! I almost fell over yesterday when UPS wanted 200$ for customs and taxes from me!

Why don't you order at an australian dealer?
