32 buttons "button box"

[Sokol1]

An easy/low cost project in a well explained how to.

 

 

How use through Joy2Key for press game commands.

Quite cool, thanks for sharing.

Cool! I'll be sure to reference this for a button box I'm planning.

I got one similar to this made by Derek Speare Designs who mainly does Simracing gear. Very good stuff!

If someone have any question about button box, can ask me, 'cause i made one for yourself.

I made this using the inside of an old Logitek joystick and a selection of different switches. The housing was a clear pencil tray that I painted from the inside.

Sokol1, thanks for posting.

 

Any chance of getting a parts list?  

[Sokol1]

Look bellow in "show more" in Youtube video page, all parts is listed there, with link suggestion for buy.

Arduino pro micro ( must be atmega32u4 controller)

Switches

Potentiometers ( if you want axes)

Universal Case

Tools

Wires

Soldering kit

USB with micro plug, and that's all.

Potentiometers ( if you want axes)

 

Notice that the used sketch (firmware) don't support (analog) axis, but instead encoders - looks like a potentiometer but press buttons when turned.

 

A firmware that support both encoder and axis (potentiometer) is MMjoy2, too compatible with Arduino PRO Micro  or other ATMEGA32u4 based Arduino, e.g. Teensy 2.0, ++2.0

Joystick.h support axes, just check source code

int yAxis = analogRead(A5);

 

yAxis = map(yAxis,1023,0,-127,127);

 

Joystick.setYAxis(yAxis);

Ok, you said sketch, my bad.

 

But if someone want axes, i can give my sketch which support axes.

Hi, I use potentiometers, could you pass me a sketch that supports them? Thank you!!

Hi...t he dsd button boxes are pretty decent, the dash version they make are in my opinion their best - I say this because the other boxes tend to be very large in size but then physically place the buttons and rotary switches too close together. Making it hard in VR or simply finding it while driving quickly. Often they only use 2/3 of the face plate leaving you with a box that is 30% bigger than it needs to be and buttons to close.
