The ConTollR

It is! :slight_smile:

I have no idea, really. I do know that its programmer i very eager to help and change the code as needed. It never was an option for me to try to change the code myself :wink:

Yeah!
I found a way with MMJoy2 as well. Just put the switch on repeat, while switched on.

Every time I get the urge to start a project based on this I get buried in digi-key switch options. SPDT, two position and three position are the options I am looking for, I think :-).

Sooo many options, sooo many decisions!

I know the feeling.
I know of no other way, besides jumping straight into the fray.
Start building, and you will find out as you go… Yes, that means changing plans…many plans. :wink:

I like the quote from Adam Savage (Mythbusters) “The thing that you start out building (designing) is never the thing that you end up with.” :slight_smile:

Gotta love Savage! :slight_smile:
It’s very true…

…says me as I reach the last page of every Ikea manual…

The best plans usually do not survive contact with the enemy.

But I think that the analogy needs work in this case.

The best plans usually do not survive implementation by the front line troops* :slight_smile:

*Not blaming front line troops for bad plans!

It looks just like the catalog…

I keep forgetting to post this but, well, since I am on and taking another look at the product I might as well share it :slight_smile:

LinksDK, over at the DCS World Forums, has been working on manufacturing some switch panels, called Cockput Utility Bricks (or CUBs for short), based off of the A-10C cockpit designs. A picture is worth a thousand words so…

These CUBs are meant to be modular and will be sold as either completed kits or DYI assembly kits. There are (or will be) options for the panels that sit on top of the CUBs as well variations in the back lighting. The price is a little ‘high’ but they look to be made of good quality parts. Given that apparent level of quality, when you factor in labour and development costs, and the limited market (number of units that will be sold) the prices seems about what I would expect.

In Canadian dollars, the CUB1 plus A-10C panel and backlighting comes to about $350 (1800 DKK Danish Krone).

Plus, there are designs being drawn up to offer additional panels including ones with encoders designed to help with the radios!

Check out the link at the top of this post for the full development lifecycle and current news. The company site can be found here (http://lynx.dk/) and the first CUB is available for pre-order now (http://lynx.dk/product/cub-1-plug-play/)

I have placed an order for one and will report back when it arrives in early 2017.

Lynx CUB’s looks really cool!
I’d buy one or two if I didn’t want to build them myself…

I will post a review when I get mine. I want to build something as well but I am encountering internal resistance. I am always interested in how other people tackle design issues.

My biggest problem is getting the ‘fit and finish’ of the product where I want it. I have not done any electrical tinkering in the last 20 years - so no parts, prototyping, low-level coding, and no fabrication of anything outside of wood. I am going to start building that all up on the next year :slight_smile:
