Great video! Like the overhead frame, is there any way you can provide the dimensions for this panel? I am currently making my own MIP and these dimensions would be very useful.
Of course. 427mm wide - Right side 138 mm high. Left side 46 mm high. Angle from top left corner 7.2 deg. And that sloping part from the left towards the middle is aprox 252 mm long. From the top right corner 58 mm strait to the left. Then sloping down at around 27 deg. The sloping part connecting those two points is around 134 mm. Rounded corners must be added.
Wonderful! Are the annunciators dimmable in the 737? I did print a lot of adapters to replace all bulbs in the annunciators of my cockpit with LEDs. Less power consumption, less head, less headache to get replacement bulbs. And can be driven by an arduino now without the need for relays... :)
There is a "DIM" switch on the panel shown in the video. It is hardware based - it is the 8 set of wires to the right when looking from the rear side. But as you mention: Because a simulator is more software driven such functions must either be isolated or bypassed.
I love your videos man working on my own b737 overhead right now trying to make it cheap by using a monitor mount. Keep up the work!
Thanks.
Cheers Peter

@BuildaBoeing You're the best! Thank you so much!
