Re: my new mip from Hispapanels
Looks nice. I too have the Hispapanels MIP but have yet to purchase/mount monitors behind. What sizes did you use and it appears you removed the monitor housing? Thanks!

Do you have to solder the components? The picture tell you that you have some solder masks at the pcb card!

Hi Fredrik
Take a look et Hispapanels page. There is a well documented manual that shown how to make each panel (Look under details for the specific product). It gives you a good idea of the work ahead.Best wishes, Peter

Re: my new mip from Hispapanels
Is the MIP come plug and play or do you have to do some interfacing yourself? I am trying to figure out which way to go but unfortunately I am not very computer savvy. Its looks great and can not wait to get started on my own cockpit.

Re: my new mip from Hispapanels
You have to do everything you self.
All you get is to layers of plexiglass and plexiglas cut as buttons/annunciators.
Look at the pictures on the hispapanels page, they show what you get.
You need to buy switches, LEDs and all electronics as well. This can be ordered together with the panel, or you can go hunting (like on ebay) and find it cheaper.
Then you need to gather everything into a panel. That means putting all switches, buttons, LEDs in place, solder it/wire it up.
And only then are you ready to somehow connect it to your computer.
It sounds like an enormous task and - well - it is. But it is quite fun as well (Well it is fun if you like nerd'ing with such things and build things you self).
I would say that 70% of cockpit building is craftsmanship. Only the remaining 30% is computering.
But of course if you but USB plug-n-play the part arrive ready to go.
I have made almost everything in my cockpit (Except the autopilot, that one is USB). It has taken almost a year now and I am far from finished. But I am having a great time while I build the cockpit.Best wishes, Peter
