Crash Posted June 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Dennis, what pins are you using? I might have to pinch your sketch and mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have found a great video which explains stuff and has the sketch I was looking for. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingflyr Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023  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.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted June 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Using the sketch from the video I THINK I have now got the sketch sorted. More soldering and then a test. It is finally on the last lap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Soldering is hopefully all done. We will see tomorrow. IF it all works as planned then I will finish the build thread. All boxed up. Hope it all works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Not much luck. Sketch is fine but 1 axis and 12 buttons have gone missing. Oh well I will take it apart tomorrow. Z axis no show due to coding error Buttons probably due to power pin not in properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 Z axis now sorted due to code error. Daisy chained buttons still no show. button 10 works, so the code must be OK. I will swap the power pin to 5v tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Seems that I should have connected the switches to ground. A little knowledge is dangerous. I will sort it out on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted June 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 All buttons and axis now show up and I have renamed the Arduino to Collective. I had to strip the box so that I could do continuity tests as not all buttons were working as they should. I found a programming error but its now sorted. Should be finished next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted July 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 All boxed up, tested and calibrated. I will update the build thread next week. I will have to move my seat over a bit to give some room for the controller and while I am at it I will clean and tidy up the cabling as it is a bit of a mess.
