Then I designed 2 little PCB.

The first is a generic board to mimic the thrustmaster board. It is very similar to the Debolesti's one but a bit smaller to fit in the grip.

The second is a board which allows to manage the weird behavior of the multidirection switches ALPS RKJXM1 that I use. Indeed these switches activate the central clic each time a direction is activated... very boring behavior.

The last step was to design the connector to attach the grip to the base.

Hey man, this is incredible!!!! I stumbled across this trying to find a picture of a Tomcat panel for a friend. Happily surprised to find this forum. I've got it bookmarked now and am very excited to see how it continues. Mirage is a way cool airplane and I love flying it. Thanks for sharing this amazing project and it's progress with us!! ~Rob

Hi there!

Today is a big day! After many iterations I finally managed to manufacture a mask for the LED of my PCA.

A friend of my designed the PCB and it was make by JLCPCB. 

The face plate is a real one.

The mask is done on my CNC with a 0,4mm bit, the digits are 7mm tall and 6mm wide.

They are covered with tracing paper for a better light diffusion.

It's really hard to get 16 segment displays these days. You made your own 👍

There are 16 segments displays in the market but not this size.

If I had design my own face plate I could have made the windows taller to fit market's displays but as I have a real face plate I had no choice.

Fun fact: On the original instruments the segments are in fact filaments and there are way narrower.
