obious Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi All, Since I recently discovered the immersion factor of using a Oculus Rift with DCS, I've found using a mouse somewhat detracting from the overall experience (I've already got a TM Warthog as well as a pair of TM Cougar MFDs). To put it simply, are there any guides out there that detail how to build a 'simple' button box? I'm after 2-6 on/off push buttons (for general use), a couple of rotary knobs (for flood lights, instrument panel lights etc) and a various number of on/off toggle switches (for Master Arm, refueling prob extend/retract etc; may have to use on/off/on switches here though). I've come across Leo Bodnar's website where a USB BBI-32 button box interface is listed but are there any guides out there for actually adding the above controls? Once I'm able to get this working, I plan on on adding a housing to make it pretty/tacticool. Maybe there other interface boxes/websites out there that people use apart from Leo's? Would appreciate any tips/links to pre-existing guides Thanks!

mrwell Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi, go into Home cockpit section. You’ll find plenty of info in there. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) BBI-32 is an good start point if you don't have previous DIY experience. Is just fit the card inside a assembly box, put switches, buttons, encoders and wire in BBI-32. This button box is not using BBI-32 but is an good "how to" example on how build one: Similar to Leo Bodnar carts are DSD cards, too ready to use and PnP for Windows. http://derekspearedesigns.com/circuits.html Edited October 30, 2018 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
