There are bazillions of little embedded boards with digital outputs. I
don't know if they can support small lamps or if you'd need to drive a relay
(?) but they can usually turn led's on and off. But if there is a
nice/cheap/compact solution to reading lots of analog inputs, lots of switch
inputs, driving lots of lamp outputs, and driving at least a few analog
outputs, you are well on our way to building a spiffy cockpit .... and there
are already solutions for this available (Epic has been around for a long
time and there are probably many others) but the small size and nice price
of this unit caught my eye ...

Curt.
