Iocards... but how many do I need?
So after studying the forums for a while it seems like opencockpits with Nico Kaan's solution will best meet my needs for the 767 cockpit. Now its time to order, but I cant figure out how many cards I need!
I compiled a list of every function on the 767 overhead, mcp, mip and fmc, with inputs and outputs of each type. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how many inputs/outputs would actually be used on the mastercard, so I can figure out how many I need to order. I am extremely confused about how to figure the amount of pins coming out of the input and output, going into the mastercard etc.
Also, is there a way to make my own break out boxes? I am trying to cut costs to a minimum. It seems ordering the mastercard kit from opencockpits is very economical, and if there was a cheaper way to get around buying their break out boxes it would be great! If you need any clarification, please ask! Thanks alot for your help in advance, I am soo confused!
