So I finished today my poor man's "cockpit".
It is pretty much a 1:1 copy of CupPilot's first setup so many thanks to him and his detailed pictures and templates. He inspired me to build something at all and was and is a big help setting it up.
I used the same displays and keypad as he did, so there is not much to say. You can see his setup here.
Labeled keypad:
Panel cut out with the keypad and MFCD frames. Unfortunatly I have only an electric fret saw and I didn't bother to file the cut outs properly, so there are small gaps, you see it better with the paint on.
back view:
another detail view:
buttons of the display reattached:
you can see the gap below the frame...
semi-finished:
aaand done. now you can clearly see the gaps and I messed up the paint below the UFC, but... I found out I have a friend with a CNC and that spot will maybe soon be covered by a AHCP.
Cheers,
DC
