MCP / EFIS

 

The heard of the system is the IOCARDS.Paying atention to the space and funcionality, I decided to do the main structure in a "L" form. Then, it was the way to put the Woofer over the cover of the circuits, and a monitor on each side. The material used is Hard Plywood, and the components (switches, displays, etc.), are on board of a standard circuit board drilled in a 0,1"  pitch. After buying the components I did drawings with Autocad, putting everything in place according the measurements of each component. For the Decals  I did a Layer with the Autocad having all the labels together, printed in a self-adhesive transparent film with my home Ink Jet Printer. For de Display Filters I bought a red plastic cheap folder. I took lots of ideas from Carlos Lopez Web http://www.micabinadevuelo.com  where you can find impressive tutorials, who uses the balcony of his apartment as a workshop!!!. For the wiring I put plugs in order to do easy afterwards changes. It is without backlighting because the optic results that I have seen are not so good, and the plexi-baker is not an affordable material for the DIY´s.
