Cockpit sections – Page 19 – Building a 737-800 Homecockpit [OE-LNJ]

Support structure

Today we have started building the support structure. On this structure the Overhead will be mounted.

and we have built some switches into the modules.

I wish all cockpit builders and all readers of my blog a happy new year 2010 !

Stay tuned!

Last week i have received the Overhead 3D kit from opencockpits.

I have unpacked all single sections and put them togehter just for a photo.

I also received the Servo card and started programming the gauges via SIOC. APU Start and cooldown as well as the vertical speed is already working.

For the fuel temperature i have to play a little around during the next weeks.

Today i have tested 2 boxes connected to the USB OUT LED Card from Opencockpits.

Looks very nice 🙂

Yesterday with help of Wolfgang, thanks again, we have soldered all indicator boxes with the required resistors.

Now its time for waiting for the rest of the delivery from Opencockpits.

Today the first package arrived from Opencockpits. The light section.

More pictures are available in the gallery.

Today i have ordered the complete forward Overhead kit and all switches and buttons to complete it.

During the next week i will prepare the boxes and add to them each one 56 ohm resistor to have them ready to built in when the overhead arrives.

So, stay tuned.

Today i have uploaded 3 Videos to Youtube.

Demoboard of my overhead with some features (Engine Start, Low Pressure,…)

In some boxes i started gluing the LEDs. Per box 2 LEDs, makes 224 LEDs to get glued in and connected together.
