Re: Arduino controler
The switches that I bought have a very small flange, or rim. As careful as I was, I still drilled one hole a bit out of line with the others. That was covered up when I decided to print a cover sheet with the button labels on it. Without the cover label, you could just see where I moved the hole over. Buttons with a larger rim would have hidden the mistake.
As it is, I think that the printed labels look better on the GPS than my first choice - self sticking labels as seen on my button box.

Re: Arduino controler
I am lucky there I have a drill press and cross slide vice so getting the holes in line is easy just use the cross slide.
As for the labeling that I can do at work. I work in with barcode labeling printers (freight/product type labels) so I have printer that will print on sticky label Black/white and colour up to 8" wide and 39" long.

Re: Arduino controler
ok build first 4-Digit 7-Seg demo.
Kabels fromstarter kit are crap .. took me 2 hours to find out one was broken. Replaced all and voila it works.
Another hour later SPAD.neXt was able to talk to the board
So for the Uno R3 it's done.
Unfortunately I ordered my Teeny without pins. Not going to solder on xmas So'll wait till the one with pins arrives.
Firmware already done

Re: Arduino controler
Good to see you are enjoying the arduino. They are pretty cool, I was lucky to get a PacLed64 under the tree so am looking at that at the moment.

Re: Arduino controler
Here's the proof of concept
SPAD.neXt connecting FSX to Teensy 3.5 driving a 4-Digit Segment Display showing the transpondercode.
Parts used:
Teensy 3.5 , 74HC595 , 5643A. Occupies 7 Outputs on Teensy
