Hi Guys

I'm going to upgrade my overhead panel for the b737.. Can you confirm we can now use ALL pins on a mega card now? I built mines years ago when there was still issues with using toggle switches so have 3 megas for led outputs and 3 Leo bodnar cards for inputs but the wiring is a mess and feel it's now time to repair broken LEDs and bad connections and hoping just to use mega Cards now.

If anyone else has done the 737 overhead panel, how many megas did you use in total and any tips for connections, ie header cables etc

Hi

I expect you talk about the "logging Debug Problem" Where maybe 10-30% if Inputs was lost for some users. Specially for LAtching switches this was problematic.
THIS is solved since years!

About useable Pins:
Pin 0 and 1 is still permitted .
Pin 13 ( On Mega Pro Mini) is only useable as LED not as Swtich).
AnalogPins can be Digital IO or Analog Potis meanwhile.

Switch Limits are (normaly) the max number of useable Pins.
LED are limmited in case of Power managment on some spots.

Good Luck !
