Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
Desenvolupament d'una pantalla d'avionica que emuli una Garmin G5 a partir de components comercials comuns.
Es proposa l'ús d'un microcontrolador, una pantalla LCD i l'ús d'impressió 3D. Es treballarà tant en la comunicació amb protocols utilitzats en aviació, com ara ARINC 429, busos CAN, etc., com en la programació de la interfície gràfica d'aquesta pantalla.
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
This Final Degree Project presents the development of a basic functional replica of the Garmin G5 flight instrument, primarily focused on the representation of the Artificial Horizon and Attitude Indicator. The project arises from the need for an accessible and educational tool that can simulate the information a pilot receives during flight, reducing costs compared to commercial solutions.
The main objective was to design a simulation system capable of receiving and processing flight data, displaying it through a simple and intuitive graphical interface modeled after the Garmin G5. To achieve this, low-cost hardware was used specifically, a Raspberry Pi 4 and software developed in Python with the PyQt5 library, ensuring portability, comprehensibility, and future scalability. Flight data was simulated through a C# application running on a main computer and transmitted to the Raspberry Pi in JSON format via the UDP protocol, prioritizing low communication latency over absolute delivery reliability.
The project's development included programming the graphical interface, implementing the data transmission and reception system, fully configuring the Raspberry Pi as a standalone unit with automatic startup, and assigning it a static IP address to guarantee stable communication with the host computer regardless of network changes.
As a result, a functional and cost-effective platform was created to emulate the basic behavior of a real instrument, providing a useful tool for both educational and experimental purposes. The project not only demonstrates the feasibility of using affordable hardware in the development of simulated aeronautical systems but also encourages component reuse, technical learning, and future system expansions, thereby contributing to technological and educational sustainability in the field of aerospace engineering.
