Build your own transponder for simulation cockpit cessna 172.
Format for 6.25" stack
Electronics are design with EasyEDA.
3D parts are design with SolidWorks.
PCB are sold by JLCPCB, you can use directly Gerber files --> JLCPCB
Only electronics, you can choose the microcontroller of your choice, the base design have addtionnal card for Mega2560R3.
For mine i use Mega2560R3 and Mobiflight on MSFS2020--> MOBIFLIGHT
For others controllers you need to design the support for the card, or add wires to link them.
Capacitor C3 to C18 are optionnals, they just do debounce for switch, but work fine wihtout on mobiflight.

- PLA BLACK and PLA WHITE
i use a rewrite plugin With CURA -> PauseAtZ
First you need to print just the text with head 0.2mm and white PLA (piece need to be rotate 180° text must be on the plate, keep your piece in center) -> STL file or GCODE file
When the text is print, Printer go pause, you can cancel the print.
Change the head by 0.6mm and load new PLA black (do enormous purge)
And go print the layer 2 -> STL file or GCODE file
You can use cura profile -> Layer 1 profile with 0.2mm head and layer 2 profile with 0.6mm head
