Kaydo's Panel Evolution
« on: May 09, 2018, 01:17:10 AM »
Apache wanted to see my new setup so I thought I would post all my progress.  This is my 3rd iteration of my panels.  Once I finalize my keybindings for each aircraft, the white will be black card stock with white lettering to match the background. 

First Prototype:

The wiring done on third prototype with CAT 5 cable ( they all were done with CAT 5 inards but I learned to keep it in its sheath.  These 2 boards are done with Leo Bodnar Alpha boards.  Wired with a matrix)

The third prototype features a Left & Right Panel.  Each has 35  buttons, the R. has 4 axis controls, the L. has 7 as my pedals are linked into the Left board.  I changed my MFD screens from two to one thanks to input from NumberJ

Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.
