## Button Panel
You will need a button panel, so you can control FloppyEmu from the front.
You can build the panel manually using a perfboard. Alternatively, use the PCB design files to order a printed circuit board.
You'll find schematics and also a KiCad PCB design project in the [pcb](/pcb/) folder.
There are also Gerber files in the pcb folder.
You can build the panel manually using a perfboard or order a printed circuit board (from JLCPCB etc).
The four push buttons are very common and easy to obtain. They are similar as the onboard buttons of FloppyEmu. Except the PCB design is made for a through-hole type push buttons (not SMD buttons as on FloppyEmu). And you will need switches with a 7mm peg, to properly mount the printed push button caps. Check on ebay searching for "micro switch push button 6x6x7mm". Your favourite electronics supplier should also have them (Germany: reichelt.de, TASTER 9303, Kurzhubtaster 6x6mm, 7,0mm).

Alternatively, use a perfboard to solder the push buttons manually. It's only 4 buttons and a connector (and maybe the resistor for the status LED):

### Bill Of Materials
Here's what you need.
For the button panel:
#### For the button panel:
- Manufactured PCB (i.e. upload the Gerber-Files to a PCB manufacturer, like JLCPCB). Alternatively use a [perfboard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfboard).
- 4x "micro switch push button 6x6x7mm" (ebay etc)

#### For the button panel and LCD connector:
- You can use simple breadboard wires ("jumper wires") to connect FloppyEmu to the button panel and LCD. They are cheap and also come with a ribbon cable. The LCD and the button panel both require 7 wires each (since 3 pins of the button panel's pin header are unused).
- Alternatively, use "header plugs" with matching ribbon cable (2x5 for the button panel, 2x8 for the LCD) - as shown in the build photos. This is a slightly more expensive and complex solution.

The rear panel and the front panel require supports - but only in tiny areas.

### Print Duration
The top shell takes about 7 hours to print on an Ender 3v2.
The front and rear panel require about 1:30 hours.
