How hard is that shit?
I’d like a control panel of nicely haptic buttons for some of the Arma 3 side features, Lights on/off, Engine on/off, Chaff, Smokelauncher etc.
From what I gathered researching it’s basically just building a box, soldering some switches to a micro controller and bob’s your uncle. I feel 80% confident I can do those things - am I missing something? Anyone ever build their own “sim”-control-deck?
It’s pretty easy as long as you are comfortable with basic maker things like soldering and wire cutting. You can use a PiZero, Arduino or a Leo Bodnar board for the core electronics which makes it super simple and a lot of fun.
Do you have experience with USB-Encoders? I feel like I could save myself some time of learn2code if I were to just use something like that?
