I am using keypad scanner chip TCA8418 over I2C bus, with interrupt option - http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tca8418.pdf Very easy to use, only few registers to read/write from. The only pain is the size of the chip, its QFN24, very tiny, hard to solder without hot air. Two wires are for I2C communication and one is interrupt. I hate wires spaghetti ;), I am trying to connect everything using I2C bus.

That is exactly what I am planning to try, keep us posted! I've just finished testing CDU keyboard running on TCA8418 and UNO R3. Up to 80 keys on 3 wires only :) It is so much fun to build panels with DCS-BIOS :)

Thanks Ian, glad I could contribute to the testing :)

Hi all, I have faced strange issue during my tests with CMSP panel. I have connected one 3-position ON-OFF-(ON) switch to my uno. I am using following code for it - DcsBios::Switch3Pos cmspDisp("CMSP_DISP", 7, 8); Basically switch works, I can see it moving up and down in cockpit. Problem is, it is not doing what it should be in the up(2) position. It should enter "menu", but it doesn't, as it is happening when I do mouse right click on it. Am I missing something ? You can see it here, last click is done by mouse and it enters conf page:
