+# Building the cockpit
+NOTE: Things are very work in progress right now and might change.  
+Equipement you need:
+* 3D printer (at least access to one)
+* Soldering equipment (you can order the PCBs pre-assembled but that comes at a significant extra cost)
+
+Materials you need:
+* Grey, black and red filament
+* M2 self tapping screws
+* IDC cables:
+	* TODO
+* A raspberry pi or similar SBC to drive the MCDU displays (I recommend the rasppi4 or 5 cause you can run both MCDUs off of one pi)
+
+Optionally also have:
+* Wood filler and sand paper to smooth out the 3D printed parts. This then would also require painting the parts.
+
+The repo consists of the following sturcture:
+* common-3d: Contains commonly used 3D printed parts such as knobs
+* Pedestal: Contains all files needed for the pedestal
+	* \*VU-\*: The individual panels.
+	* firmware: Contains the rust code for the micro controller
+	* PedestalConnectBox: The PCB, most things of the pedestal hook up to
+	* MCDU: Everything for the MCDU
+	* flightgear: Files for flightgear flight simulator infterface
+
+Some of the sub-directories contain READMEs with more specific instructions on the parts.
