I am able to define more then one button array's , and i guess i made a coding error somewhere.
My PCB layout could be more efficient and an error is also in connecting some rows with the white wires in the pic
...but with two array's i can use all my buttons

I think i am going to create a different PCB layout and make a V2 of this PCB and get rid of the white wires which i use due to lack of PCB space.
But for now i can go on and finish my CDU

You etch or mill it yourself?

Yes, this design isn’t so good, so i will probably create another pcb for this cdu. 8-)
Or create a multi layered one an let produce in china or so

I am creating a cdu for a learjet 45 (UNS-1), you can not buy this for sim use anywhere, only an OEM cdu which are unaffordable.
So that why i have to create this from scratch, as well as most of my sim parts ;)

I know the wiki says 8x8 but I did this some time ago for the Zibo as a test and it worked.

However you can have more than 1 button array per board as long as there are enough pins. I did one some time back in the beta but cannot find it. If i do find it I will post here to save you some time.

try this

test-Button Array - .siff

The siff might be on the forum. I think I sent it to Gilles @SimPassion back then.
