Seb71 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Nice simpit, but I'm not sure if it has enough buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well, the UFC provides as many buttons as the radio box + the column. I guess it happens when you are constantly learning and improving. Looking back, I'd have built a single box out of them and replaced the column apart and replace it with the 3rd MFD (the only reason why I don't do that is because I find the F/A-18 almost as boring as the F-16 so, nope, I'd rather keep ). I also did some math though and if the Harrier didn't have crap luas I could easily run out of buttons. Same as the Hip with NS430. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of being a home-owner, so I build different things and use whatever better fits in the particular module I'm flying at that time.

Karon Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 I haven't posted recently because there hasn't been many arduino updates (although I'm planning a box for the F-14). Setup-wise, I have added the 3rd MFD and the 7" display works really well!

Karon Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Did some upgrades on my setup, two additional Arduino Leonardo-based new boxes. I'm still waiting for the delivery of the last encoders. Now, if only Heatblur could provide us some bindings for the knobs in the RIO seat :P The Radar box (left of the UFC) has 121 buttons; the Master Switch doubles the base number and, depending on its status, some 3-way momentary work as 3-way toggles for their in-game equivalent since many buttons bindings are still missin in the RIO seat. The top "flat" box has 67 buttons at the moment but I still had to add the 4 missing encoders (should be delivered shortly). I didn't add any Master Switch since it would have exceed the HID limit of 128 buttons. I thought about "masking" some buttons as POV but still.. I tested the box with friends and on Hoggit and I'm quite happy about it, makes RIOing much faster and efficient.

Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 do you have a reference or part number for the pushbuttons and switches?

Karon Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 I bought them Amazon UK (more expensive but the same / following day delivery is great). Have a look there, you might find more info.
