That's an OR gate a NOR gate would be

but what I am not clear on is where the (3)line should go to? Should it go to a row? If yes, what will be the column for that row?

Hi Aqua,
Sorry, bad labels. I didn't mean you'd get an output while both inputs were on. I was just labelling them as three different outputs that could be "ON".

I don't think the logic based system would work directly with a column/row setup.

You could use the +5v output to switch small relays each of which was across a different column/row combination, but that's making it a lot more complicated.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi Aqua,

I've drawn up a wee circuit in case you want to go ahead with the switches you have.


The component values shown are approximates but should work. Diodes across the coil of the relays are to protect them.

Transistors are just cheapy switching ones.

I've built similar circuits to this in my own pit and they seem to be quite stable.

C1, R1, R2 and R3 would be the column and rows on your interface board.

Hope this helps you along.

Cheers,

Andy

Too much complication...

I think the issue is: in G-940 the MODE switch is a slider switch ON-ON-ON, so need be replaced with a toggle switch ON-ON-ON, not a ON-OFF-ON.

And, since the G-940 was be modded with another controller, what is expected from this MODE switch?

In Cobra M5 the MODE switch just change the 7 joystick buttons number:

MODE 1 = Buttons 1 - 7
MODE 2 = Buttons 8 - 15
MODE 3 = Buttons 16 - 22

Or is to became a kind of "shift1", "shift2", "shift3" button?

Hey guys I have my encoder all wired up correctly (I think!) however whenever I rotate it in a single direction it comes up as both button presses?

Also I do not understand what to do with the encoder section of the software which may have something to do with my problem!

Edit: It's because I forgot to put the diodes in, isn't it? *Sigh*

This video (from WT forum) is how configure virtual axis on encoder.

What is DZ low and high? Is it like Dead zone and saturation in DI Viewer?
What is Spec. Functions in Joystick axes?

Also is it possible to make things bigger, MMjoy2 screen is to small. This is how it looks at my computer:



I would like to translate MMjoy2 to Croatian language. Do I need to translate .lng file?

Thank you!

Yes, just translate this file (from one language available, Russian, English...) and save as Croatian.lng

First of all I wanna say a big thank you to mega_mozg_13.

This is a great tool to build diy controllers.

Installing the drivers of the arduino boards was easy. updating the firmware was a little bit tricky smile.


joysetup 20150606 is running fine. i tried newer version but when i want to load the config from the device i get
errors. crc ....

i am using win7


i found a solution.
date of firmware and date of software must be the same. now everything is working

Anybody get this to work? PS3 hall sensor thumbstick.



I can send one to you mega_mozg_13, so that you can see how to connect it.

I also finished Croatian translatio for MMJoy2, where shall I send it?

On Arduino forum is said this PS3 mini-stick maybe use SENTRON 2SA10 HALL sensor, dual analog output (X, Y) axis, what can explain the extra pin.

The question is, in this mini-stick this 2 axis are wired in parallel? What probable require specific firmware to be read...

"Note 5: When the analog output pins X_OUT and Y_OUT are used in differential mode (i.e. Vx=X_OUT-CO_OUT)"

http://www.gmw.com/magnetic_sensors/sentron/2sa/documents/2SA10.pdf

There the guy use 2 hall sensor placed at 90 degrees, to get better linearity on Racing Wheel - but need make change on controller firmware:

you can try to link it with MCP3202 and select "KMZ60+MCP3202" type sensor.

I sent one thumstick to mega_mozg_13.
Let's hope he'll figure it out. It would be great if we could use it in our builds.

Hello again ! Finally my TLE5010 Rudder works like a charm. Thank you mega_mozg_13 once again. I really appreciate your work.
Next thing that interests me a lot - is it possible to drive small servo or tiny stepper motor using values from War Thunder output or any other sim ?
Best regards.

next step is output data to "MAX7219 7-segment 8-Digits" link



"small servo" or "tiny stepper" maybe later =)

Is it possible to implement I2C in the firmware? In particular for supporting Wii nunchuck. $10 nunchuck gets you a 3 axis accellerometer, 2 axis analog stick, and 2 buttons. As it sits, I think I need to build a bridge with a second mcu.

Hello, i was happy for first day of using my rudder. Now I have freezeing axis problem again- I need to restart the device in MMjoy2 to work. This time everything went ok, with firmware upload and settings.
