mflightsimbymajorswitcher Quite happy with my prototype buttonbox!View original on lemmyfly.org6Comments7
MMrPozor discuss.tchncs.de4Hide 4 repliesCool project. I made one as well but for VR, with buttons of different shapes. All in a printed case and with custom PCB. Works great but I want to redo one, this time with more knobs. They are such a pain to turn. Maybe just 6 knobs arranged in a line. BTW, what microcontroller are you using? And what software?1

MMrPozor replydiscuss.tchncs.de2Hide 2 repliesCan you use multiplexers? I am using 5 shift registers and MMjoy to get 40 ports.1
mmajorswitcher replylemmyfly.org1Hide 1 replyThat was my initial plan, until I found out about the 2560 pro mini with all those ports available out of the box - for only $9,- …1
Projectionist beehaw.org1Hide 1 replyLooks great, and a lot like my first button box experiments. Are you using MobiFlight on the Arduino? How it started: How mine finished. I want to redo it though and add dual rotary encoders like yours instead of the two potentiometer knobs I have now. 1
mmajorswitcher replylemmyfly.orgNice! Thanks for showing 😀 Yes with Mobiflight, that makes it all very doable1

That is an impressive amount of I/O indeed!
