[Bug]: Standby analog instrument PCBs: photosensor connections #1060

Bug Summary

The PCBs of VVI/Airspeed and Standby Altimeter all have 1x3 pin headers (according to Fusion plans and BOM/CPL) on the face side to connect the photoswitch. The combined length of the Dupont connector and the pin headers exceeds the available room between PCB and dial face.

The util_photoswitches also have a 1x3 pin header (not in Fusion, but in the BOM/CPL) which, when used with a Dupont connector, blocks the zero wheel.

Expected Results

The pin headers of the PCBs can be put on the back of the PCB. The cables can be soldered directly to the photoswitch. This way there is still a pluggable connection between the two, removing the mentioned problems.

Actual Results

Zero wheels blocked due to photoswitch Dupont connector. Dial faces not mountable due to PCB Dupont connector.

do not install pins, these are to be direct solder of the wires
