IMHO sounds a like a bit of a forced fit for a limited capability...
OTH I've built a board for the 747 project that provides input/output for 128 discrete static switches, 64 momentary switches, 16 rotary encoders, and drivers 128 LEDs and/or 16 numeric 7-segment LED displays. It all fits on a 5x7 PCB and has a USB connection. Pics are on the 747 project page of the FG website. There are also other sites that detail board construction for cockpit builders; while mostly MS based, there are a few that use Linux. The URLs escape me at the moment. But several months ago a group in Spain (opencockpits???) contacted Curtis and I about interfacing their hardware to FG and linux. Unfortunately, other priorities got in the way and nothing further developed. But I guess people just want to keep beating their heads against the wall ;-) JW Jim Campbell wrote: >Hello, >For those building their own cockpits and requiring input and output >from switches and rotary controls and to lights and relays etc have a >look at the Velleman USB experimenters interface boards! >http://www.velleman.be/ot/en/product/view/?id=364910 >and >http://www.velleman.be/ot/en/product/view/?id=351346 >There are various examples on the Web for both Linux and Mac sware to >drive these boards. >Boards are addressable so you can have multiple instances.
