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.
