From the project

OpenA3XX: Panels, 3D Printed Components & Reference Archive

As part of a long-term flight simulation setup, I'm building a home Airbus cockpit replica, focusing on authenticity, durability, and modularity. This project includes:

- Accurate panel layouts (e.g., ADIRS, FLT-CTL, etc.) - Reference imagery from real cockpits - 3D printed components (knobs, switch housings, structural parts) - Design schematics, templates, and notes from real-world dimensions - Documentation of tools and techniques used in building panels

Lights: common questions

How big is the Lights PCB?

The Lights measures 322.3 × 131.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Lights?

187 components, from 10 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Lights design files?

From the OpenA3XX/opena3xx-cockpit repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Lights design in my own project?

It is published under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
