If yes I might need two controllers as I was planning a total of 8-10 encoders (for all the nav, adf, gps, alt sel dials etc). Or maybe I should use a BU036A for that since it can use a matrix of 16 encoders? I'm focusing on rotary dials because they're a pain to control in VR if you need to repeatedly click on them using a trackball or the Vive controllers, and that's particularly painful when trying to tune navigation in a vintage plane.


Documentation is a bit sparse on MMjoy2 ...hence this long thread....but I think you are right FM , but alot of use use two or three controllers any way eg FLCS, TQS, RUDDERS and as long as you have USB ports to plug into if should be fine....though it maybe cheaper to get one BU0386A , unless you order some cheap pro micros or Leonardos from China....

the Wiki is the only Documentation I am aware of... though you may find a PDF on MMjoy (predecessor) online I am not sure how relevant the info is these days...
