I'm a visual person, I like to see what I'm doing as opposed to relying exclusively on drawings and schematics (although I do enjoy making them).
This is what I'm doing right now; the communication & navigation panel (COM1, COM2, NAV1 and NAV2).
This is a quick layout of the parts I've bought (that's about 9 inches wide, 8 inches tall).
The TEST button was integrated in the volume button in-game. I couldn't afford potentiometers with a push-button, so I added a separate black button
The rotary encoders I'm using to change frequency have a built-in push-button switch; that way I don't need a dual knob arrangement (again, more expensive).
Yeah, those squiggly pink circles will be LEDs later in life.
