Hei ! For the benefits of others, I will use English Yes, I have buildt button matrixes before. I am about to order these encoders : http://www.ebay.com/itm/151753076315Not decided on knobs yet, not sure what to search for, since the shaft is "D" shaped, not round or knurled ... Just cant et my head around how to connect them, is it like normal buttons ? How do they actually work ? Any help appreciated Vegard

Ok, I think I get it. I see in MMJoy that there is an entry called Encoders. The numbers in there, corresponds with the numbers in Matrix ? I am not still clear on the difference between the reference that is on "Joystick", and the numbers selected in the pulldown.....
Let me try to explain how I think :
In the matrix, each buttons get a number. This number is inserted in the appropriate place under "Joystick", "Encoder", "HAT", etc, is that correct ? Only use each entry from the matrix in one place ?
Oh, also, I dont see where to input delay ?

I am running a older version of MMJoy2 than you, and I cant find the one you have, or any version newer than 2015.
The newest version I found, is 20150405, and that one doesnt have any delay settings etc.
Can you direct me to download link ?

Ok, thank you, after I wrote the last message, then I found the same version as you so kindly posted a link to. I have downloaded it, but havent installed the new firmware yet. I have been busy, just finished converting a old set of CH Pro Pedals from gameport to USB; working like a charm now ! Next job, maybe convert the old CH Yoke, also from gameport to USB. Must dissasemble and check what is needed to convert inside it. So, you have an non-official version of MMJoy ? How do you get that ? Vegard

Great, thanks, I will Question : What is the best way to create a mixed matrix, using buttons and encoders ? Reason I ask, I am trying to build a interface using the full capabilities of the MMJOy and a Micro Pro card. I dont want to start messing with shift registers etc... Here is what I have in mind : I have a CH Pro yoke and pedals set. Pedals are 3 axis, yoke is 5 axis ( rudder, elevator, throttle quadrant). So, that means I have 8 analog inputs, leaving me 10 for the matrix. That leaves me with max 25 buttons, in a 5x5 matrix. I am trying to build a easy matrix interface board on a perfboard, and want to try to make it as clean as possible. With the diodes going the opposite way for encoders, I see a lot of possibilities for confusion ... Any hints and ideas ? Also considering getting a secondary Micro Pro, but havent decided yet. Maybe that makes it easier, if I can separate maybe axis and buttons on 2 different controllers. Vegard

Hello.
Looking into connecting loads of buttons using shift registers.
So far I think I have figured out that the main difference between the 74HC165 and the 4021 is that one is active high, the other low, right ?
So, I presume the MMJoy converts this automatically, so there is really no difference which I use ?
Do anyone have a proper draeing of how to connect up the shift registers ? What do I need besides pullup resistors, etc?
Thank you
Vegard I use the gammon pages a lot. Switches, pullups http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11955Shift registers http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=11979

Hello all. I've recieved some halls from China. I supposedly being A1321EUA... They have G321 540 part number stamped on them. They go from 11 to 995 at 10 bit res. But they aren't stable. Without a magnet it flickers from 510~530, they get stable with a filter of x14. Should I use them anyway?. I have old Allegro UGN3503 and they are rock steady without filter but they go from 200 up to 800. What would be best to use? Thank you all. Ps: waiting for tle5011... Bought to china too, I guess they will be fake copy too. 1st time buyer incompetency.

Hello. Does anyone here have some layout ( Gerber) files for shift register circuits for MMJoy ? Or maybe someone has some spare cards, maybe I can buy them ? If I only get the files, are there any cheap manufacturers of small quantities of circuit boards ? Thank you Vegard
