The PRD-NODE is a universal CAN peripheral node that powers any flight simulator peripheral — throttle quadrants, trim wheels, flaps levers, radio panels — over a shared CAN bus network using standard Ethernet cables.
Designed specifically for flight simulator builders who want professional results without reinventing the wheel for every peripheral.
One board serves every peripheral role. Wire up encoders, pots, servos, and switches via plug-in breakout boards — trim wheel, flaps lever, throttle quadrant, radio panel.
Need a CAN-USB bridge? Populate the USB connector and barrel jack on any PRD-NODE. It automatically becomes the bridge when VBUS is detected — no separate hardware needed.
All nodes connect over CAN bus using standard Ethernet patch cables with a custom RJ45 pinout. One USB connection to the PC controls the entire rig at 500kbps.
The PRD-NODE ecosystem includes dedicated breakout boards for each application — TrimFlaps, Axes, Switches, Radio, Servo — so there's always a board that fits your build.
A dedicated 2×3 SPI2 header exposes MOSI, MISO, SCK and CS — ready for SSD1322 or SSD1306 OLEDs and any SPI peripheral, without taking header pins away from I/O.
Built on STM32CubeIDE with HAL drivers. STDC14 debug header on prototypes. DFU bootloader always available via USB. Firmware examples and documentation freely available.
Buy PRD-NODE boards and the breakout boards for your peripheral devices. One NODE per instrument or control group.
Connect pots, encoders, switches, and servos to the breakout boards using 3.5mm pluggable screw terminals.
Upload firmware via USB DFU. Connect boards via Ethernet cables. Power the rig from the bridge NODE's barrel jack.
One USB to PC. SimLinkHub connects to MSFS. All controls work immediately as CAN peripheral nodes.
Every product in the range maps to something cockpit builders recognise — not signal types, but real controls and instruments.
Built around the STM32F072RBT6 at 48MHz with native USB, CAN 2.0B, a 2×15 pin header system, and a dedicated SPI2 header — all on an 80×30mm 4-layer PCB.
