AIM Cockpit Manager Open Hardware License

The Open Hardware License unlocks DIY device programming in AIM Cockpit Manager, so the same software that runs Invictus panels can run the hardware you build yourself.

Cockpit Manager is free with any Invictus device, and that will never change. This license is for the builders who want to go further. Open Hardware mode lets you flash our open firmware to your own boards, walk through the same guided setup wizard our AIM panels use, assign your switches, lights, and axes pin by pin, and fly your creations in DCS World and Falcon BMS right alongside official hardware. No scripts, no configuration files, and no separate tools: your DIY devices live in the same manager as everything else.

A few things worth knowing before you buy:

• Your license is a signed key issued to your checkout email address and delivered by email. Unlocked features display "Licensed to" with your identity, so the key is personal to you.
• Only programming DIY devices requires the license. Detecting them is free, devices you have already set up keep working without it, and Invictus hardware never needs a license at all.
• Supported at launch: ESP32 and ESP32-S3, Raspberry Pi Pico, Teensy LC, 3.2, 4.0, and 4.1, and the Arduino Nano, Uno, Mega 2560, Pro Micro, Leonardo, and Micro. Common clones with CH340 or FTDI USB chips work too.
• The key does not expire and includes updates as they ship.

Beta pricing: Open Hardware mode is currently in beta, and the $25 price reflects that. When it leaves beta, the price will increase. Buy during the beta and your key carries forward at no additional cost.

Requires AIM Cockpit Manager (free, Windows 10/11).
