First hardware


Purchased some 3mm mdf, £5.50 including cutting to 102 x 48 cm which is rough outer dimensions for my panel. Also grabbed some planed wood for the frame to hold it and 90 degree metal corners to help build it up.

Total cost so far just under £20.

I also put the order in last week for the rotary encoders off ebay. Sold by http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Sure-Electronics

These were suggested by some of the peeps at MyCockpit.org as being compatible with the card from Leo Bodnar. I plan to try and use them to drive the altimeter and nav instruments.
