Some changes are cosmetic, but down under most of them - a couple of sleepless days plus some refactoring.
First change might not be easy to notice is that stick openings are now rectangular. I think it plays to everything else rectangular on the build.
Right panel got it's layout finished and it now houses a controller for all things RC, will probably run a custom build of EdgeTX, resources allowing. At least it does not feature a gap anymore.
Left panel too got it's settling. It now has another button area that will house what can be described as HID Processor - that thing will feature some macro buttons, some indicators with epoxy diffusion and it will all be also wired to buttons around primary screen so to control what these do, like arrows, paging, mouse cursor etc. The levers are gone - I do not like how janky they are, I do not like how unstandartizing they are, in favor of more slider switches. To offset the loss of visual "stuff" that happens there, analog multiplexer control (which is a servo tester in disguise) got an arrow styled knob with magnetic hints under it - when knob passes over certain spots, it gives a gentle feedback and sets over the spot if you release it. Not my idea but i honestly forgot who posted about it recently and where. The secondary screen panel got a little bit of tidying, but not much. I've swapped power wire for a proper angled connector one - as a meditation to begin my new work week for this project. For some reason I've never posted a pic of how glorious interfacing corner looks when everything is connected: And screens finally got their button caps so they are not looking like broken teeth anymore. I think she is ready for some PCB design and maybe I will come up with a painting pattern in nearest future.
