As you say this is limited by Windows/Games.

DCS recognize up to 128 buttons. Tested there with MMjoy on old Mjoy16 board:

how to screen capture

Think the Payware FSUIP interface for FSX too, but not sure.

Other games limited to 32 buttons because they still using old DInput DLL.

A way to use this buttons is through keyboard emulation - that dumb "press joy button to press keyboards keys to do commands in games" that TARGET users love.

The Freeware SVMapper allow you use buttons above 32 to send keypress for games, but dont't recognize axis.

HidMacros too can be used for this.

http://www.hidmacros.eu/

Both programs are no longer developed/supported software, but work in Win10/64.

Always start keymapper with "Run as Administrator" in shortcut or games maybe not see the key press.

Thank you very much for your inputs. I will check them once finished with my build. I decided to simply add more buttons and decide later how/if to use them. So if I understand well, 32 limit is mostly problem of older games/sims? So supposingly Star Citizen and Elite:Dangerous may support up to 128 btns?

Star Citizen, Elite:Dangerous I don't know.
"Kosmosimov" is not my "beach".


Other "Flight Game" that support more than 32 buttons is IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad.

But as this game have only "toggle" options (press a key to turn something ON, press the same key to turn OFF) - "to be accessible for new players" - so SVMapper/Hidmacros can be useful for example use ON/OFF latch switch (SPST) to turn OF and OFF cockpits lights... etc.
Because SVMapper/Hidmacros can send keys commands on PRESS and in RELEASE of this switch.

If don't use SVMapper or similar will be limited to use DPST switch and wire both poles on same button, or optocoupler ic/relays circuits.

I have this pedals there - disassembled, if I find the parts do a try.

I remember that for use this pedals in Mjoy16 a guy in X-Simulator.de did this circuit:

Hey guys, I just finished this controller as a gift for a friend to play Star Citizen!

Many thanks to mega_mozg_13 for MMJoy2!

Nice, good use of TQS.

Hi there... im going nuts... cant really made shift register to work with teensy2.0++ with mmjoy2... i connect miso pin to serial output pin cs pin to shift/load pin SCK pin to CLK pin and do connect ground and 5v pins to shift register and put a ground vire to CE pin put no joy... i use sparkfun breakout board for shift register and i really need help since this is my first electronics project..

(random buttons turns red in mmjoy even if i dont move a switch or the one switch i connected as button 1 is flickering red and white at screen cant solve it)
Thanks

SoulhunterTR, make foto hardware and MMJoySetup set.
i think you are forget pull-up resistors. Download last beta, and in "PCB" folder check demo boards with SR...

Hi Megamega_mozg_13, two questions....

In this new version (20160801) you included MMJoyPanel.exe, that can be used in Il2 Sturmovik......but.....Il2 Sturmovick Battle of Stalingrad or Cliffs Of Dover?

and....there is no posibility an english version?

Thanks....

I think MMjoyPanel work only with War Thunder.

IL-2 BoS is definitively not supported - this game don't export data (maybe in future).

IL-2 CloD export, but in Devicelink format (same for IL-2:46)

BTW - there's new version of MMjoy2 - adding Shift to HAT

Hi again....

I´m making a new project: 3 encoders, 3 rotary switch, 3 axis, 6 toggle switch (on-off-on) and 18 buttons.
I will make a 9x8 matrix, but i must be doing something wrong with encoders....


If i make one matrix with 1 row and 6 columns, the Encoders working well, but, if add one row more, Encoders not working.

working 6 encoders:



Nothing work:



And, i need 9x8 matrix!


Thanks....

http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4280538/Re:_MMJoy/MMjoy2_-_Build_your_#Post4280538

Where i reset encoder/joystick buttons?.....


I have not changed the sources of the buttons, just add 1 row and stops working.

EDIT:


I deleted everything, cleaning EEPROM, and made a 6x2 matrix like Sewares, but, my problem continues.....any idea?. If i, delete one row (6x1 matrix), encoder working well.

show your new "MMJoySetup" settings.

it will not be necessary, after several flashing eeprom and firmware work correctly... now I have a 9x8 matrix, 72 buttons working properly

Thx

Hi everyone, im just trying to make a throttle grip for using with Logitech 3d pro.

Im using arduino leonardo and, potentiometers work very well. But i cant figured out how to use buttons and encoders. They seem to work on mmjoy but, on Windows Game Controllers, they just seem to pressed all the time.(red lighted)

Can you guys make a scheme for me on Fritzing about how to connect rotary encoder(including it's internal button) and a couple of buttons together to connect Leonardo. And mmjoy settings please

I would really happy ifi you guys help and sorry for my english.

@Snagov: What do you use for or how do you map buttons over 32 in Windows? Thanks

SVMapper or Hidmacros do the trick, and perhaps Autohotkey (need write code).

I do not need Windows recognize more than 32 buttons , I just need to do the simulators ( dcs , IL2 , ..... ). More than 32 buttons, it is a limitation of DirectX, but, if you use "VKB Button Tester" you can see all buttons
