I have just taken the fatal step into cockpit meddling (wouldn't call it building ---yet!!). I purchased an A-Pac keyboard emulator card and have successfully made a few plexi panels and wired several momentary push button switches. Great thrill when they work first time! I would now like to progress to toggle and rotary selector switches. Can someone advise me on the simplest "next step" card to allow this. Looking at the Hagstrom etc but need guidance. And please advise on switches - toggles are ok but which type of rotary should I buy (e.g I want it to select range in EFIS and another to set autobrake levels). Many thanks for your help.

Holclo,

Sorry no one has responded yet. I am really busy.... will get to it when I can. be a few days.

There re suggestions in threads in this forum on this subject. Maybe do some reading while you wait for specific responses.

Hagstrom KE-72 is the best keyboard emulator out there.

best,
