Building UFC and CDU


A10Yoda

Recommended Posts

As the title states, I am currently building a UFC and CDU for the A10.

 

I purchased the panels from pcflights.com which they also sell individual tactile buttons.

 

Has anyone have any experience which is better, individual buttons or a custom made board that fits the panel molds?

 

Just trying to get feedback of what is cheaper versus maybe better quality..

I built my ufc from scratch with tactile buttons. Fiddly assembly and mediocre quality but it worked fine and is easy to repair or upgrade. A premade pcb would be great for quality but very likely considerably more costly. Likely comes down to if your budget permits or if the money would be. Etter soend elsewhere.

I should have looked at those panels before posting. Impresive. Individual switches will work well provided you get something you can mount properly. I wouldnt try to get a board to match. Checkout digikey or mouser for a deep selection of buttons.

They (pcflights) offers 6x6mm tactile which are nice but I was hoping to get a custom built one so I can mix tactile and a couple rocker switches for the toggles.
