PanelBuilder Posted December 15, 2009 Author Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks for the comments everybody. I really appeciate it. I'll try to answer some questions. Construction: I drew up the top layer or "facia" with a paint type program using the panel in the manual as a guide, and then I had the photo shop laminate it onto a piece of 1/8 inch fiberboard. They cut it to size but I had to cut out the holes. The mechanical layers have all the switches, circuit board, etc. attached and are the same material . Electronics: there's a PIC16F688 (14 pin) for the switches, and a PIC16F886 (28 pin) for the displays. Aside from a mosfet to drive the transmit line, and some resistors, that's the sum total of the electronics. Interface: It's a 5 volt serial line. You can see the 4-wire cable at the start. When I plug it in I'm actually plugging it in to the cable coming out of the Targeting Display Conrol panel, which is also online (which is why the Shkval goes funny at the mission start). The interface is running at 9600 which doesn't seem like much but which is plenty fast enough, apparently :-) Cheers, Colin

Thanks for showing that - absolutely cool! Well, londo I don't think I have many secrets left, except for one which I'll share with you now: I buy lots of clipboards at the dollar store. Cheers, Colin
