TigersharkBAS Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 And the making of those awsome panels Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk They aren't cheap. As I mentioned Glider_UK made them for me and from memory they probably ran about 50 bucks for 3 pieces. A clear acrylic piece, a black spacing piece and then the top engraved panel. The enclosure box ran me about 20 bucks. The USB extender I found cheap on eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/201289068922?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT All in you are looking to spend around $50-$100 on making one of these. You can also use a Arduino to cut down your costs but you need a little bit of technical knowledge (or be keen to learn). Your biggest expense is the engraved panel and a bigger problem is finding someone who can do it for you. I don't think Glider_UK does this anymore. Some others do...like LynxDK.

a3an4e Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Tx TigersharkBas. I am using DCS Bios and Arduino Megas for interfacing. Almost copy and paste to get switches, rotary switches, potentiometers, lcd screens, servos etc to work. Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
hansangb Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Almost cut and paste if you cut and paste it from the right source, no? GPWiz, DerekSpeare board, Bodnar boards are plug and play. So it comes down to how much do you like to tinker. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
