Modular Cockpit for Star Citizen

Motivation

Star Citizen is a game with complex and rich functionality and interactivity.
Each ship in Star Citizen can play one or several roles.
Each player in Star Citizen can play one or multiple roles.
Each role has a particular form of interactivity.
Each player has a different way of playing.

Therefore each player needs a unique cockpit adapted to their way of playing. A modular, open and adaptable Star Citizen cockpit is needed.

Modular

The "Modular Cockpit" has a modular architecture, obviously. And a module must comply with the following:

Each module must work independently, to work it must not need other modules or other elements, with the exception of the computer.
A module groups several related functions.
A module is built with several components.
All modules must meet the compatibility criteria (these are defined later).

Definitions

Frame : This is a structure created with Makerbeam of 10x10 mm and has a height of 120 mm. For this, 100 mm long vertical Beams are used and they are joined to the horizontal Beams with MakerBeam Corner Cube. Several T-slot nuts are inserted into the horizontal Beams, which is where the Modules are screwed with M3 bolts. Any other compatible system can be used. For example the following is a Frame of 220 mm.

Compatibility criteria

Each module should only have one USB connection.
A module must be able to be screwed to the Frame.

Modules

The Button Box has a modular design. Each module corresponds to a set of related functionalities.

Rename component image files

Rename component image files that start with a component type identifier. For example knob, bolt, etc. The filename must begin with bold-[device].svg
Component image file name prefixes:
1. bold-
2. switch-
3. toggle_switch-
4. key-
5. encoder-
6. potentiometer-
7. slide-
8. joystick-
9. led-
10. breackout-

Reduce the height of "Microcontroller Acrylic" to 98mm

This must be done in:

Mining Module: Perforations are slightly offset

Move the clamping bolt drills to the "Frame"

Move the drills of the bolts that hold the panel at least one millimeter inward on the x axis. This is so that the "t-nuts" of the "Beam" do not remain protruding from the edge of the module. This must be done in:
