gcompc Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Panel completed Finally got the panel completed. The breakout board worked out beautifully. I used CAT 5 cables to do the wiring and was able to do 4 switches per cable for the most part. The most tedious thing was wiring the connectors but once it's done it's really great. Moving wires on the board is just plug and play. Haven't done any assigning yet but all looks well. I also mounted the X-keys and breakout on a board for convenience. Here's some photos.

CAT_101st Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Nice to see my board in use. Loos great, nice work. And yes doing the connectors is very time consuming work. But hay think how much time was saved by not having to build a matrix as well. :smilewink: Home built PC Win 10 Pro 64bit, MB ASUS Z170 WS, 6700K, EVGA 1080Ti Hybrid, 32GB DDR4 3200, Thermaltake 120x360 RAD, Custom built A-10C sim pit, TM WARTHOG HOTAS, Cougar MFD's, 3D printed UFC and Saitek rudders.

CAT_101st Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I don't have much time to do theas any more. but I might consider it for USA shiping only. also I have others that want them as well that would be in front of you in line. of corse if enough people want them I can also do a 3rd run. And I have a new Idea for a redesin that will make things easer for me and you guys.
