Finally replaced the old display with the new touch display for my VF-1 inspired home cockpit panel: ๐ŸŽฅ https://makertube.net/w/5uLBzaawSVwqVCjcGfjSfC

The display is the N173HCE-E31, a 17.3 inch with 1920x1080. The touch registers as a USB HID Mouse by ILITEK and is basically sitting on top. I never noticed before but while cramming it in I noticed that it's a little bit lopsided ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Ah well, it's hardly noticeable.

Sadly I made no progress for the rewiring and pushed that back. I really have to clean this eventually but that'll result in a long downtime for the cockpit.

I did however make progress with the HUD app. Initially I had no touchscreen support in mind so I had to rewrite a lot of code. This forced me to take a closer look at the UI elements and I found so many bugs and optimized so much. Still in the middle of tweaking which is why there is a lot of debug visible in the video. I'm very happy with the result though and I think I'm really getting that Valkyrie VF-1 vibe going ๐Ÿค˜
