# 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.
