PanelBuilder Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I was thinking of just having it built in to the pcd that will have the switches on it. The bezels in my design are about .5 inch thick so there should be plenty of room. I am just not a pcb designer lol The lit switches I would like to use are 8.2 mm high. So if I can have 10 mm or a little more between the bottom of the buttons and the bottom of the bezel life is sweet. If I can have 15 mm we can put the switches on one side of the PCB and the other components on the other. I'm thinking of two approaches: 1. 28 pin PIC -- this gives us 23 inputs which is just right if we don't connect the 3 unimplemented rockers, and wire the rotary as a 2-bit pot. 2. smaller PIC and put a shift register on each side. I like this because less traces need to converge on the side with the PIC. Either way, I'm going to make the BRT and CON rockers detachable from the interface so they can be connected directly to the display hardware, if desired. Interface is going to be lua, not buttons or keys. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until all key stokes or i get more familiar with the Lua i will no make a decision on this Colin w https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Deadman Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Ok guys i have been going through panels and checking them I can make accurate measurements to make parts from. The question is any one interested in any thing? I just need to know it doesn't make scene to spend the time if there is no interest thanks let me know by posting here.

I just need to know it doesn't make scene to spend the time if there is no interest thanks let me know by posting here. I'm interested in anything you might care to post. Straight-on (i.e. limited perspective distortion) high res pictures of each would be very helpful and much appreciated. The overall backing plate dimensions also. Heighth in particular, as I believe the width of each is 5.75". The pictures you have already posted have been helpful. Thanks!

Deadman Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 The post is to judge if the is enough interest in accurate panels and parts for an A-10C cockpit. Not for the release of informational this time.Do the investment in time and cash to get it l together. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

Direwolf5 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Definitely would like accurate measurements. Calculating the panel sizes off of pictures has me pulling my hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It'd definitely be a help for me, although my panels will not be to the mm, your dimensions will give me a great idea of how to scale to fit my own pit. 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
