Has anyone got any advice? I am not sure how to continue, I don't want to solder the wires until I find the correct combination as I could inadvertently break something frown

Krupi,
You are trying to hook up the kg13 to teensy right?

Check out this tutorial: http://arduino.cc/it/Tutorial/Button

It's for arudino, but it's the same code/concept.

Yes, the problem is I am not sure which colour wire should go where frown

I need to try and find out which wire is the VCC 5 Volt and which is ground, not sure about the others!

Well I think its working I just need to work out which wire controls which button biggrin

When I go into the properties of the joystick all the buttons all lit up!

Okay with some help from C6 Trollbug I have the wires setup unfortunately they are working in reverse i.e. always on until I press the button down frown

This is the code I am currently using.

void setup() {
pinMode(0, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(1, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {

// read the digital inputs and set the buttons
Joystick.button(1, digitalRead(0));
Joystick.button(2, digitalRead(1));
Joystick.button(3, digitalRead(2));
Joystick.button(4, digitalRead(3));

// a brief delay, so this runs 20 times per second
delay(50);
}

Sorted smile

void setup() {
pinMode(0, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(1, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {

// read the digital inputs and set the buttons
Joystick.button(1, digitalRead(0) == LOW);
Joystick.button(2, digitalRead(1) == LOW);
Joystick.button(3, digitalRead(2) == LOW);
Joystick.button(4, digitalRead(3) == LOW);

// a brief delay, so this runs 20 times per second
delay(50);
}

Almost finished....

So the first thing I did was purchase Metalnwoods amazing Warthog extender

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3184593/1.html

Then went about thinking of how to position it and get it positioned at the right height and was shown this cheap effective design from Paradaz biggrin

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3377271/1.html

So thanks to Paradaz and Metalnwood I now have a brilliant centre mounted warthog which I will be converting to a KG13 in a few weeks :goofy:

Today I tested the centre mount and I am VERY VERY happy its fantastic, so much more control its precise and hopefully will improve my terrible accuracy thumbsup

Anyway that's enough from me here are some pics...















Sorry for the terrible quality.

Good stuff, I am glad the length is working for you and you managed to get it all up and going!
