Hello, do someone know how to build an autopilot or GPS panel with some LED displays ? For example, how to make the numbers stop at 360° for the heading and the CRS, 41,000 ft for the altitude, 340 knt for the speed... ? And how to connect them to the switches, the software ? We can maybe use the Almost Aviation's Autopilot or GPS and some LED displays with 4 or segments.
Thank you.

That's the type of project which I'm building.
You need a two way interface to achieve this, e.g. you need to send and receive data and also be able to control the hardware you're sending data to.
I'm doing this using a combination of hardware, microcontrollers (in my case arduinos), simconnect and c# (programming language).
It's quite a big learning curve in comparison to using USB joystick controllers and specially if you're not done any programming before.
This is different to how Mark's boards work so I'm happy to share more but as its his forum only if he says it's OK.
