MTFDarkEagle Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Quick update :) AHCP-XL Backlighting works woohoo! Things to do: get wire to wire up the switches, however funding is very short as I just bought this bad boy (the bike that is dûh :P ) :) : Picturetime: With switch wired in. Plugged into a spare molex connection of my PSU. Lit up :) , it's crackin' in real life!! 1 Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTFDarkEagle Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Update time. Caution panel is fully up and operational!!! As I thought: about 38 million wires to connect all the LED's :P Noticed the Ethernet connector? That's right! Future expandability baby! This connector is for the landing gear panel (still in design stage). The landing gear LED's, and gear safe (x3) LED's will be connected via this ethernet jack.

MacFevre Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Very nice! Your stick support, is that working alright for you? Just curious if it was sturdy enough for a lot of action.

Thanks :) Yes it's sturdy enough. It's got a bit of play in it (I'd say about 2-2 1/2 mm full deflection), but you get used to it.
