Kit Assembly

OpenSkyhawk plans to sell panel and PCB kits so you can build a cockpit without sourcing parts or laying out boards yourself. This section is the assembly track for kit buyers — it stands on its own. You won't need to read PCB design rules or firmware internals to put a kit together and fly it.

No kits are available yet

The Armament Group is the planned first kit release, pending successful end-to-end validation. Nothing is for sale today. Follow the repository to track progress.

The kit-buyer journey

When the Armament Group kit ships, getting it working is four steps — each its own page:

1. What's in the Box — check your kit contents
2. Assembly Guide — put the boards and panel together
3. Flashing Firmware — load the firmware
4. DCS Setup — connect to the sim
5. Testing & Troubleshooting — verify everything works

What makes this different

The whole point of OpenSkyhawk: one USB cable for the entire cockpit, and DCS-BIOS does the binding for you — no per-switch mapping in DCS. A kit is meant to be assemble-flash-fly, not an electronics project.

Kits are gated on end-to-end validation of the Armament Group firmware. If you want to help get there, see How to Contribute.
