Brief Description: Designed Right Hand Console Layout - Part 1
Well, like everything else, I agonized over the layout of the components of the right hand console. I started by drawing the outline of the top face in a CAD program, and then added exact scale representations of both the hole-cutout and the silk screen layouts. I'm pretty confident at this point on what devices are going in the right hand console, but I also wanted to add a bit of "extra" capacity, just in case I thought of something later on.
The components currently include:
* 12Volt/20Amp Power Port (Cigarette Lighter Adapter) * Emergency Bypass Switches - EFIS 1 / AHRS 1 - GPS - Nav/Com - Intercom / Headsets * Disconnect for the switches on the rear stick grip * Emergency disconnect for the Autopilot * Stereo Intercom * Dimmer control for Panel Lights * Dimmer control for Cabin Lights * Spare slot for additional Switch
After a fair amount of arranging and then rearranging and then rearranging again, I came up with a layout in which I was satisfied. There is an extra "location" for another switch right under the Autopilot switch.
