Compact Boeing 737 Overhead Panel

This is my design for an “essentials only” Boeing 737-800 overhead panel box I use for the PMDG 737-800 on Microsoft Flight Simulator. The purpose of this box is to mimic the real-life 737-800 overhead panel, but in a compact design and with only the essential switches needed for the majority of flights. Each section is mounted to the enclosure using hex screws and heat set inserts. The rear panel is where the Arduino mounts along with a female USB-C outlet. You'll need some basic knowledge on how to wire an electrical circuit as part of the process involving soldering wires to the switches and connecting them to your Arduino. I also included a flat rear panel in the event that you don't have a sim rig to mount this to (sim rig rear panel pictured). I use this mainly on MSFS 2020 with the PMDG 737-800, however this should work with any flight sim as long as you can program the Arduino to interact with it. I have also tested this with the default MSFS 2024 Asobo 737 MAX 8 using
