Hi TigersharkBAS. Thank you very much for the clip about mounting the GroovyGameGear (GGG) controller to a box. I first understood your post that the info was already in one of your older posts and watched each of them again - and then I recognised that you made a clip extra for my question - thx so much you are really hardworking a a really nice guy :thumbup:.

Hi Guys! Does someone has experience how to install those glowing switches so that they glow after activation? I have a GP-Wiz40 MAX USB from GroovyGameGear and a X-Keys controller. I want to make seperate Penel Boxes like TigersharkBAS (thx Tiger :-)) - in each box there will be either a GP-Wiz40 or my X-Keys. Do I have to install a seperate power supply with batteries or can the switches be powered with the USB controllers? Thx in advance for your help :)! P.S.: I attached the spec sheets of the switches I want to use. 701111-da-01-en-DRUCKSCHALTER_R13_508BL_05_RT.pdf 703068-da-01-en-DRUCKSCHALTER_1686_1101.pdf

Wow, really hard work - and - you need calm hands :huh:.

Thanks for the update CAT. Impatiently watching for your PM :music_whistling:...

Thanks a lot for this precious little gem !!! :pilotfly:

TigersharkBAS, how did you mount the GroovyGameGear Controller in your Boxes?

Yes Cat, thanks a lot:thumbup:. Now most of the waiting time seems to be over. What payment method are you thinking of?

:thumbup:

Hi Tigershark. Thank you for that information, it comes very handy for me as I ordered a few GP-Wiz40 as addon to my x-keys :smilewink:.

Awesome job with the vids and your whole project - thanks a lot for sharing :thumbup:. I am considering to use a GroovyGameGear Controller as a second device. So I hope you can help me with a few remaining questions: 1. How do you get those numbers you decribed in the last vid, for example the ["up"] = 1075? 2. How do you physically connect a 3-way-switch to the controller (did you have the middle contact connectet twice?) an how do you programm that (I think it is programed as two seperate switches). 3. Is it possibe to use a multy position rotary dial like the Mode Select Dial in the Countermeasure Signal Processor (CMSP) Panel with the GroovyGameGear controller. If yes, how is it physically to connect to the GroovyGameGear controller and how to program it. Thx in advance!

The board looks very good - I like that connectors so I don't have to solder the pins. That will enable a much easier reconfiguration. Please forgive me my maybe stupid question: Your Matrix board has 3 8 Pin connectors for the connection to the x-keys board = 24 connectors altogether. The x-keys board has a 30 Pin connector. That means that 6 connectors of the x-keys are not connected to the Matrix board - is this irrelevant?

Fantastic work & videos - now it is much easier for me to begin my own cockpit project. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge :thumbup: !!!

Hi CAT. Thanks for the update. It seems that things happens earlier than I hoped :). I have one question: How is the connection of your matrix board with the X-Keys implemented. Does we need a special cable or can the devices be plugged directly together? (sorry for my bad English).

Thanks for the update. Can't wait though as I already have the x-keys board and a lot of switches so for my setup only the matrix board is now missing. But I also know that this things need time. So I'm looking forward getting my matrix boards :smilewink:.

I am very interested as I am currently in the planning phase of building a cockpit for the A10C. Thanks a lot for the sharing of your work ::thumbup:

Hi Cat. I already wrote you a PM for this. Please account me for two breakout boards. Thx in advance!

Hi CAT, thx for the quick reply. If the price for the board will be arount $40, then according to the Borderlinx Website, shipment plus taxes will be around $40 to $48. Though in sum this is a bit expensive due to the high shipping costs I order one board from you as I have no other alternative to get hands to one of this breakoutboards. Thanks a lot and I'm looking forward receiving one of thouse useful cards ;).

Hi CAT, A ED forum member from Germany has been offered me a x-keys board so I will get it to a reasonable price and shipment fee now. What will be the price for your matrix board including shipment to Germany? Thx in advance for the info :).

Thank you CAT, I am looking forward to your reply. Either way I wish you and your family a Happy New Year :thumbup:!

Cat, i like to buy your board, but is there a cheaper way for us in Germany to order the x-keys board - the board isn't to expensive ($59) but the shipment costs are absurd high ($65). Would it be possible that I order your board and the x-keys board from you, so I have to pay the shipment only once? One more question, can I build 3-way switches with x-keys and your board? __________________ Home built PC Win 7 Pro 64bit, MB Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R, CPU Intel Q6600@2,93Gh, PSU Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 700W, 4GB DDR2 6400, X-Fi Music, Gigabyte GTX 470 SOC, 128 GB SSD, 2 TB HDD, TM Warthog HOTAS & CH Rudder Pedals, TrackIR 5. :gun_rifle:

Thanks a lot for the info Tez - with PikAs1 it looks very good now, I have access to all my payed products again. :thumbup:

Hi Tez. I tryed already to use the recover password form, but when I put in my login "pikas" I did't get an email, when I put in my email address I got a email with the wrong login (gneubauer or PikAs1) . I think my account has no or the wrong email address assigned. I bought already DCS A10C and DCS BS and don't want to loose the game licences I already purchesed.:helpsmilie:

not for me :cry:

I have the same problem. I opend a ticket with an email because I can't login to my account anymore. I heard about a database maintenance over x-mas weekend, could that be the the reason?
