I know it's an horrible tangled mess of wires, but the number of things to connect here was HUGE π.
The only thing i still didn't get to work is the Oled display for Barometric pressure. 3 multiplexera fully used, backlighting done with a potentiometer on a separate line, all 3d printed based on Santi Luib III design only slightly modified. Korry labels are transparent vinyl. It's not a beauty, I know, but when I started I barely knew anything about soldering, pcbs and how to build a cockpit π. Next step, add some more backlighting on the panel that is printed in 2 layers, the back is transparent to let the light pass.

Looks amazing!!!
Thanks to the work of @ripe star and some dust removed from my c++ programming skills (about an era ago when I was a teenager studying C++ and Assembler) I managed to get the Oled display working on Fenix A320, so the first release of the panel is completed. It has been a fun to make, I hope it will work well enough in flight, but sure enough this will not my only try at making a serious panel. I'm already looking out for a cheap laser engraver to cut acrylic and I already have in mind how to design the pcbs to avoid that horrible mess of wiring π
And many, many thanks fo @next carbon because without his help nothing of this panel would have actually worked π
Adding a condition reading from (L:S_OH_ELEC_BAT1) and (L:S_OH_ELEC_BAT2) I've managed to get the displays light up only after I powered up the airplane from Cold&Dark mode. Still trying to figure out how to keep the oled display off in the same conditions when batteries are both off. I don't think there is a way to wait for a few seconds after switching on the batteries to emulate the boot up process, but that's way too much probably. Using FenixQuartz already makes the display blinking and changing values while booting up like in the real system, so it's fine.
