@SolderMonkey
I have a homemade throttle quadrant with leobodnar BU0836, 6 analog hall axes and 6x6=36 button matrix w/o any diodes. And is working like a charm many years. Of course I used only push buttons, no switches and I play only IL-2 Sturmovik 1946. But you are right. I do not want to argue. Now with MMJoy2 I rather use shift registers than button matrix. I make PCB easier as button matrix PCB and can connect buttons, switches, encoders w/o ghosting/masking problem.
Thanks for info, bye.

Does it works with win10? Any problem?

I gave the New Hat (from an old X-Fighter stick) 5 new Wires with SolderMonkeys help ( see other thread in Sig for how to pic).....

**edit I don't see Sig. for some reason so here is SM's Posted pic, 4th post down: X-Fighter Wiring Pic


(1) Row and the 4 columns for the buttons and did the same for the TQS Radio 4 way button with a Row wire from the ribbon cable (yellow) and connected the other 4 wires midway on the 4 Columns wires (2x4) and slowly built up a 4x4 matrix with the other Buttons in the TQS by adding more wires midway on each column wire . I think I may need a 5x4 matrix actually I just picked up an Encoder and a few pushbuttons too.

Not with MMJoy2 and Win10 ...Erichos has suggested using Firmware 2016-08-18_Upd. rather than the new 2016-11-01 version though, due to the odd bug in MMjoy2 like it not reporting Axes in the "Used" Box like I have.

it is here : 2016-8-18 FIRMWARE
Just make sure that the Firmware location is correct on the Firmware Tab before hitting the Arduino Reset button.


The Wiki is here : MMJoy Wiki

I am sorry, but it is not clear for me.
Works or does not works with win10?

Work.

It works , thought I was Clear sorry....


Does it works with win10? Any problem?


Not with MMJoy2 and Win10 ...

@erichos ...Thanks again my Button Matrix is now working properly in MMJoy2

If you have time would you mind posting a pic of how to Set Up an Encoder in MMJoy2 please....

I have a 24 position Rotary Encoder like this one Rotary Encoder
https://www.adafruit.com/product/377

Maybe I have it wired incorrectly? the MMJoy Wiki image of encoders is a bit confusing to me but I have...

- the center pin to a Row [D7] ( thought to GND but Wiki seems to say Rows and Columns)
- one outer pin to Column [C6]
- one outer pin to Column [E6]

I assume the Column wires still get diodes and that they face the Encoder on the wire.....


Thanks

Hi Kbird,
so make connection like this:


Open MMJoy2 and start setting:


Step 1: set Columns and Rows.
Step 2: Save sets to device.
Step 3: now turn the rotary encoder left/right to find out which H/W buttons are active (they are blinking RED). In my example is Enc connected to buttons 1 and 2.



Step 4: set that button numbers that were blinking during turning Enc.
Step 5: set Timer, delay as you want, it`s up to you, 20ms is fast, 40ms is standard (for me).
Step 6: set this, I think it`s clear on the pic.
Step 7: Save sets to device.

AND FOR NOW you cannot see blinking H/W buttons on the left side during turning Enc. It is NOT mistake, it`s OK.

Step 8: click VKB button tester (or Windows Joysticks) and here you can see result of your work - blinking button 1 if you turn Enc to the left and button 2 if you turn Enc to the right (or vice-versa).

That`s all Kbird. I hope it is clear for you.

EDIT: I want to add some info about Delay setting, there is a difference between Timer ON+OFF and ON, you can test it. If you need only impulse generator, set 20ms and ON+OFF, that means the Enc generates single pulses with pulse length 20ms, it is useful for trim tabs, manual gear operating and so on...
But for operating compass or radio freq you can test setting Delay 120ms/ON and now if you turn Enc fast, it generates 1 long pulse so it is good for primary inaccurate setting and slow turn generates single pulses for precise setting. It is very handy for compass setting, radio freq setting and so on...

Hi Erichos , Thanks Very Much

I would never have gotten past Step 4 to 5+6+7 (that is where I was stuck) , not by looking at the Wiki anyway... I think those two posts you made for me should be included in the Wiki or made "Sticky" they are both great and easy to Follow for any one , even MMJoy noobs .

I see you used different columns and Rows than I did , is there a reason for that? or was it just the ones you used for the example and I can use any of the MMjoy Button Pins?

KB.

OK! Thank you!
Sometimes better to ask again to clarify )))

Hi Kbird, I used these pins because at my test board I have these pins as button matrix. But you can use any pins usable for button matrix, it is up to you, this was only example.

Thanks for the confirmation Erichos , that is what I thought but wanted to be sure . Is there a MMJoy tutorial somewhere online I have missed ? or do you just know this stuff from years of playing around with it? I don't think I would of gotten step 4 on my own I actually thought that was for telling MMJoy what buttons to use for the encoder , 24 in my case , ie use buttons 57-80.


KB.

Kbird, you have missed no tutorial :-) everything what I know about MMJoy2 is from this forum and from my own testing. But I am interested in electronics many years, it`s my hobby and my job.

MMJoy2 author wrote at page 101:


of course "Encoder" is special mode so you have to use only first 32 buttons for them. OK?

Ok thanks another good Tip , I would not have worked that out either without asking more questions, I guess it uses only 2 buttons correct eg 1 and 2 in your example. (not the Encoder detent count , which in my case is 24)

I think you need to start a MMJoy Programming Tips/Tutorial Thread perhaps


KB.

Yes Kbird, every Enc takes 2 button positions, one position for left turning (eg. button No.1) and second for right turning (eg. button No.2). If you have a Enc with push button (eg. button No.3) you need 3 positions for 1 Enc. Your (and my too) Enc has 24 detent count that means the one 360deg. rotation of Enc, generates 24 button pulses. Is it clear now?

No, there's no MMjoy2 tutorial or manual besides what you find in this forum/Wiki or Google pages.

Besides this Mega_MOZG was always adding/removing features, so MMjoy2 is always "Beta/WiP".

I wold like a MMjoy2 version without that War Thunder features (LED, Panel...) but with more useful ones like keyboard Windows modifiers emulation (Alt, Ctrl, Shift...), but I will not ask for this, due the freeware nature of the project.

Good morning to all.

I have a problem and it will not be fixed I write to see if someone else is going to happen and if someone knows how to fix it.

I have a joystick where the axes x and y have a tle5011 chip. When I test with the mmjoy2 program, they work perfectly, and when I calibrate the joystick in windows, are centered and ok. They are much more sensitive than the normal sensor hall.

The problem comes when I restart the computer or disconnect the USB. When reconnecting the axes have been de-centered and I have to recalibrate. Do I have to check something in mmjoy2?

Set auto-calibration mode in "joystick axes", I guest that "---" is OFF.

BTW - Windows calibration is the worst soft for calibrate joysticks. Use MMJoySetup "Calibrate helper".

Thank Sokol1, i will try do it this night.
