Nicely done!
I will make a suggestion if you are interested. I dug up my cockpit =
wiring diagram and had a quick look.
What I did was split the input module into two buses (left and right =
consoles). The right console bus also serves the center console with =
MFDs.
Each bus is a ribbon wire that is 26 pins wide. I use crimp on IDE =
ribbon wire connectors (like the kind you see on hard drives ribbon =
wire) that I have attached on the bus ribbon wire like rail road track =
ties down the length of the ribbon wire. There is a connector for each =
panel on the bus wire.
As I add a new panel all I do is plug it into the bus wire as it runs =
by. Each panel has a short piece of 26 pin ribbon wire with a female 26 =
pin IDE connector on it.
You can get these connectors and the wire at Digi-Key.
This saves a mountain of wire! You don't need to point to point wire =
each panel to the EPIC expansion board, just add it to the run of bus =
wire in the console. It is also easy to remove a panel. Furthermore, =
since they plug into a bus, the panels are not position dependent. That =
is, you can plug any panel into any slot on the bus and it will work =
with no software change.
I also have an Excel sheet lying around somewhere with the various =
switches and how they interface to the bus. It is a big matrix, but I =
don't think it has been completed since I got deviated with the F-16 =
side stick project. ;-/
If you want my schematic for the bus wire and the Excel sheet (if I =
can find it) I'll send you a copy. Just drop me a line.
This will save you a lot of wiring time, even if you don't use the =
same matrix that I do.

Why not try it. There are a number of us who have not started =
working the electronics yet. It would be a big help to give one ideas =
when they reach that point.=20
