The app that runs your cockpit
Turn ESP32 hardware into a living cockpit — connected to X-Plane 12 over WiFi, defined in visual Flows, and running even when the internet is not.
A different approach to cockpit software
Your panels talk to the simulator over WiFi and WebSockets. No USB port juggling, no serial cables, no per-machine driver hunts.
Your cockpit is defined once in the cloud and synced to a local Bridge. Switch PCs or simulators and nothing needs re-wiring in software.
All behaviour lives in visual Flows — no hand-written sketches to compile and flash every time a binding changes.
The Bridge and your controllers keep running on the local network even with no internet — switching your cockpit to a newly loaded aircraft included. The cloud is for configuration, never a runtime dependency.
X-Plane 12 is the single source of truth. Hardware input is intent; state is only confirmed by simulator feedback, so switches and LEDs never lie.
The modules in your plan are on from the start; switch off what you don't use, and add more as your cockpit grows — instead of one monolithic, all-or-nothing package.
