  1. Sorry to hear about what you are going through Sid. Wishing you a Speedy recovery and pain free quick heal, so to drink lots of water to flush that infection out clean.
  2. Here you go fellows , as mentioned in last nights DCS gathering, Artie and I volunteer the Our local Airshow every year. Artie and I got to know John Sessions (great guy by the way) when he was piloting the old birds usually the spitfire. Some of you mentioned that he preformed in England at your airshow events. I think its the same chap. He lost his foot at the end of a 2018 show in a takeoff crash of an 1930 vintage passenger biplane, that we witnessed.

  3. Very well done Friar narrows down the interview.
  4. I thought I share this if not seen yet, most enjoyable listen.
  5. Wow Crash looks amazing and very professional. I love how you constructed the throttle system. Love how it looks. I'm so glad you sorted out the Arduino and its flash program.
  6. Oh my lord! My shin pales in that comparison, sorry to hear of your dear wife' unfortunate incident Colin. That is a painful one, take care of her, wishing her well mate.
  7. @ BlueBear, Triplets with left foot only then, Bonham style. @ Painless, Artie is very disappointed, he was so looking forward to the net stockings.
  8. Thanks guys. Yeah sorry Crash, realized 2nd thoughts after posting the picture. Retirement is to enjoy life but I guess accidents are part of life. Long story short, I was working on a couple of bifold closet doors. While i put one on top of my work bench it slid off falling on my shin. Recovery is coming along, swelling down after long lay downs with leg raised. If I'm up and walking around or sitting, ankle and leg swells up again. Doc said to stay off of it and monitor it. Speaking of Docs! Soapy, he really is a Doctor that really Awesome. I love how diverse in occupations the dogz are.
  9. Sorry for not attending lately but foot injury needed resting. lucky just a hairline crack on shin bone not broken. Still swollen after 3-1/2 weeks
  10. Sounds wonderful Colin, excited to give it a go. Thanks for the work and time you put into it.
  11. I'm a sketchy guy, what can I say.😜
  12. I don't think it matters whether you fit the diodes on the row or column connections as long as they are round the right way. As long as the columns and rows are defined properly in the sketch the Arduino should be OK. You don't want a column as an output being connected to a row which is also an output. Both inputs would not work but wouldn't do any harm.Connection to your PC is via the USB so it should be safe enough. The sketch. It is pretty straightforward. The biggest thing is setting the pins and ports to either input or output, but it is very logical.There are tons of tutorials on the internet if you get stuck.
  13. Crash here is an example of what mine is based on
  14. Yes the 3V and/or 5Volt supply can be used, but PC USB power supply more then enough for switches buttons and rotaries. I personally stay away from that option as they can create more problems. Generally they are used for motors ( in our case, people run real Aircraft gauges that run with servo motors), digital readers ect, that require more power. Not really needed in our case IMO.
  15. OK Dave I use this for my radio buttons and rotary's vol up down, channel selection ect for DCS //DEFINITIONS #define ENABLE_PULLUPS #define NUMROTARIES 4 //replace "?" with number of rotary encoders you are using #define NUMBUTTONS 6 //replace "?"with number of buttong you are using #define NUMROWS 1 //replace "?" with number of rows you have #define NUMCOLS 6 //replace "?" with number of columns you have as follows 4 rotary encoder switches push down button 1 rotate 1 left rotate right as in the sketch rotariesdef rotaries[NUMROTARIES] { {0,1,24,25,0}, {2,3,26,27,0}, {4,5,28,29,0}, {6,7,30,31,0}, and 6 buttons //BUTTON MATRIX //first change number of rows and columns to match your button matrix, //then replace all "?" with numbers (starting from 0) byte buttons[NUMROWS][NUMCOLS] = { {0,1,2,3,4,5} 5 potentiometers z axis rx axis ry axis rz axis throttle as you can see in the sketch these equal true //JOYSTICK SETTINGS Joystick_ Joystick(JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID, JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK, 32, //number of buttons 0, //number of hat switches //Set as many axis to "true" as you have potentiometers for false, // y axis false, // x axis true, // z axis true, // rx axis true, // ry axis true, // rz axis false, // rudder true, // throttle false, // accelerator false, // brake false); // steering wheel Hope that helps Dave. I know it can be confusing. By the way, Your collective is starting to look awesome. Nice piece of engineering their Matie. 
  16. Will check Dave, I will get back to you ASAP. Last two days of work, then I'm free free free
  17. Let me know if you have questions and I will get back to you as quick as possible Dave.
  18. Looks great Crash I have one sketch that for my Leonardo. It obviously will not match your config rig, but your certainty can use it as reference if that helps. WINGFLYR_sketch.ino
  19. Ah yes the Mega You may already have this info already you will have to find a Mega sketch for the Arduino software here is some direction Sorry Im not that helpful with the MEGA Dave https://www.javatpoint.com/arduino-mega
  20. Sorry what type of Arduino are you using again. I will see what info I have on the type.
  21. Now buttons are assigned as how many are going to be used, how many in a row ,and how many in a column Hope that not to confusing. first part of the code example #include <Keypad.h> #include <Joystick.h> //DEFINITIONS #define ENABLE_PULLUPS #define NUMROTARIES ? //replace "?" with number of rotary encoders you are using #define NUMBUTTONS ? //replace "?"with number of buttong you are using #define NUMROWS ? //replace "?" with number of rows you have #define NUMCOLS ? //replace "?" with number of columns you have //BUTTON MATRIX //first change number of rows and columns to match your button matrix, //then replace all "?" with numbers (starting from 0) byte buttons[NUMROWS][NUMCOLS] = { {?,?,?,?}, {?,?,?,?}, {?,?,?,?}, {?,?,?,?} }; Here is a video that I followed to run a Arduino Micro Pro for 32 buttons with 4 rotary encoders
  22. No it does not until you code them in Yes you will have to tell how many buttons you wish to use, up to 32 I believe. 0 to31 as 0 counts as 1. Give me a bit and I will send you an example.
  23. Wow Colin this is a cool find. I will have to give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
