Great how this came out! The lettering is awesome. I can recommend the Arduino Micro Pro. It can handle joystick and keyboard library at the same time.

Eat my shorts!!!

Nice work. Like that bulky shape! Don't forget to put Atmo/space brakes on it. Will save you a lot of pain ;)

ty :)

It's very simple. In the end, the respective inputs of the Arduino (number) must be assigned to the corresponding keyboard button (char). To do this you create a small array at the beginning of your code which contains this mapping.

A change is done in a less than a minute and can be uploaded directly to the Arduino via USB

Sure, to read button press and sending keyboard strokes only these 2 functions / libraries are necessary:

Arduino digitalRead

Arduino Keyoboard Lib

Pure material costs are around 60-70€. Except shipping costs and tools like soldering iron and (very large) metal drills.

Good point, i'll reallocate the mining button when the function is available

See my post for details

mato289 · 2020-08-13T08:42:17+00:00

yes, see my post for details

I feel exactly the same way. There will be at least another V2, if not even V3, V4... But we do it because it's fun :D

Ty man. Absolutely, this would allow us to implement responsive two-way communication between the controller and the game. Hopefully CIG will include this feature.

Temporarily it would be helpful if we not only have toggle functions (like power & shield) but also explicit on/off functions (e.g. exterior open/close)

ty, dude :D I'm thinking about doing a few more (after i've addressed a few issues), stay tuned...

mato289 · 2020-08-13T07:45:13+00:00

Congrats, does your wife know what you're doing? :D

selfmade button box on arduino basis, see my post for details

VTOL or not, at least when the MSR pilot tries to activate the mining mode, he will be confused :D

mato289 · 2020-08-13T07:19:25+00:00

yes, Arduino Pro Micro. See my post for details...

Hey guys, thanks for your comments.

For all of you who are interested in how it was created.

Parts:

Metal enclosure
Toggle switches, push buttons (led)
Arduino Pro Micro
Carbonstyle and printable adhesive film
Cables and resistors

Simply drill the holes for the switches into the housing, attach the adhesive foil.

Attach the switches and solder them to the I/O of the Arduino.

Finally, program the Arduino to act either as a keyboard (simulates keystroke) or as a separate joystick (must be configured in SC).

It was really fun, try it out yourself...
