Developement Of An Instrument Landing Simulation ... - Cal Poly

The stick is connected to the sticktorque motor located below the simulatorcab, shown in Figure 5. A voltage is sentto the motor to enable it to read the stickposition and output stick forces. The stickacts like a potentiometer, and based onthe stick position, it will send a voltage toFigure 5: Stick Motorthe Stick Computer and Siblinc. This voltage will then be scaled down based on thepotentiometer settings. The Spiegel computer requires a voltage range of +/- 5 volts. Thevoltage input is then ran through the trace card to the A/D cards located within Spiegel.The input is then read in through the compiled C-Code and Simulink to generate anominal input range of +/- 1.0 in decimal form and ready to be run through thesimulation.2.1.2 RudderRudder inputs are very similar to the stickinputs. The rudder inputs are the rudder position,velocity, and the trim settings. Just like the stick,the rudder has a torque motor, shown in Figure 6.This too acts like a potentiometer and sends avoltage based on the rudder position to the StickComputer and Siblinc. This voltage will then beFigure 6: Rudder Torque Motor8
