  1. Now all you need is a Razer sticker for your controller... For the necessary MX switches on the controller... https://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-relegendables-pack-of-10/ or http://www.maxkeyboard.com/custom-backlight-compatible-keycap-for-backlit-keyboard.html
  2. Make Richfiles the new operator (if he is fine with it) as he is here most often.
  3. This DSKY is incredible... https://www.ebay.com/itm/263510694520?ul_noapp=true

  5. Can @Krewmember's project for a RPM style simpit monitor be done using your library and @zitronen's two way Arduino communication plug-in? Just curious since it would simplify and accelerate his project which would be incredibly useful for simpit builders.
  6. What do I want with it? A retro keyboard of course! On a more serious note can I get some MX switches for it and then adapt the keystems or are they plain incompatible? Could you do a job with epoxy and a modern keystem plus the older one? Could I take a 4 way joystick, cut off the handle, then put a 3d printed DPad on top and 4 tactile buttons with a nice heavy feel, wire it to a cheap keyboard controller as arrow keys for camera angle relatively easily?
  7. Could I adapt the socket to a USB or maybe if I can find an adapter PS2 or is the way the keyboard 'speaks' a completely separate language?
  8. Would the mac be suitable for stripping or just use in a build? Also, is the keyboard a windows compatible one with some molding?
  9. My question is could that work as a usb keyset for controls @Freshmeat? Is a Mac plus for 20$ with a keyboard and mouse that doesn’t power on worth it for parts?
  10. So is there such a thing as an DPST switch that when release springs back to off? Because I thought I'd get a four way D-Pad then set that as up, down, left and right controls (RCS) and one of the possibly nonexistent DPST switches that spring to center as forward, backwards.
  11. Okay, I have a cousin (who is WAY older then me, don't know how that it is he is technically a cousin) who flies a PA-32R, I'll see if he knows of old avionics shops where you can get one with a CRT. Especially an old navball if that is possible. I think also that if people, say @zitronen and somebody who could help design a UI interface that RPM/ASET styled multipurpose interfaces but that would run on say a Pi, arduino, or a programmable microcontroller. this would run on say a CRT with Extra Immersion guaranteed. Using a USB keyboard HID you would have the buttons.
  12. @Krewmember I saw on your thread you had a RPM style controller for a Simpit. I found a Sony Trinitron PVM-8200T 8" CRT, has that project got anywhere where that would make it usable? With your experience (I mean everybody, not just @Krewmember) what would be best. I was hoping to use it with a breadboard so that I could easily adjust the layouts and also support reusability. Is this a viable/good idea?
  13. So thinking of building a simpit based on a usb keyboard and was wondering if you knew of a good controller for a usb keyboard? I was looking at a Teensy but you all probably know of good if not better chips for the job.
  14. That picture.... Too cute!

      Haha, it's not my dog! But, it made me so happy when I saw it that I wanted to make sure other people saw it and got happy too. :)
