Anyway, thanks for your help, FoxHoundcn. I would have been really lost without you!

I already tried that. But if I do that, the controller continues to send signals. It seems I have to content myself with static lights. Less soldering, I guess.

Where is it? To clarify: I don't want the button to light up only when I press it. It should stay lit up, even when the button is released, until I press the same button again.

So I'm nearing completion. The plan with the WS2811 IC worked, they light up etc. But: Since they have three channels (R, G, B) I hoped I can use three single-color LED per chip, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I can only get the R channel to respond. Another question (should be last one, I promise): Can I make the LED switchable? For example: Press Button 1, LED 1 stays on. Press 1 again, LED turns off. Or: Press Button 1, LED 2 and 3 turn off. Press Button 2, LED 1 turns off, LED 2 turns on, LED 3 stays off.

Thank you for your reply! I'm looking into WS2812 now, maybe I can replace the LED in the switches. (I'm well past sunk cost fallacy.) Edit: It seems there is no need to to hack the buttons, I just have to buy a few WS2811 driver chips and hook it up to the regular solder lugs.

Hello again! The PCB arrived last week. I have wired it up and so far it works. I noticed some kind of cross talk between the pins, when I press a button on a specific pin, it seems to register at other pins. It is not a big problem, because this happens to pins I don't use, but I wondered why this happens. It also happens irregularly, not everytime. Maybe it is bad connection? 74HC165D gone bad? Another question about the LED: If I understand you correctly, I can use PWM to light up all the LED at the same time. But is there a way to trigger an individual LED, like a status indicator?

Thanks. I've gone ahead and ordered the Ejoy PCB, seems like less of a hassle. Will update once the package arrives.

Hi Foxhound, thank you for your reply. On Taobao there are two versions of the Ejoy PCB this and a more expensive one. Can you tell me the difference? On the other hand, where can I find v2.3.x? I want to test how cumbersome "cumbersome" is. Cheers!

Hi. I'm currently building a throttle with buttons, switches, encoders and a TLE5011. At first I thought about using MMJoy2, but now that it is abandoned, Ejoy seems like a better solution. Problem is: I have no idea how to wire it. I experimented a little bit with an Arduino Pro Micro and MMJoy2, so I have a little bit of experience, but overall I'm fairly new to this. Here is what I want to do: - 1 TLE5011 for the throttle axis. I bought rel4y's PCB from OSH-Park (great work!), so I have Gen, SCK, CS, MISO, Gnd and VCC output pins - 20 Buttons with LED, via SN74HC165 shift registers. (LED must use SN74HC164 or 74HC595, I guess?) - 6 toggle switches, also via shift registers - 6 encoders. I also bought rela4y's hardware debouncers, but I'm not sure if I need them. - 1 or 2 thumbsticks To complicate things, the STM32F103C8T6 is on of those "Black Pill" boards, which have a different layout than the older Blue Pill. I'm grateful for any pointers.
