RayRay5 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hello guys and girls, I wanted to know if any of you have custom (self-built) button panels or dashboards in use and I want to know more about it. I'm currently thinking about building one, but I'm not entirely sure where to start. So I'd like to hear about your projects. I am not looking for the "I have a Streamdeck" or the "I have ... dashboard software" answers. I am looking for those who have a self-built dashboard/button panel Which Controller/Board did you use? Is there any special software running or otherwise required for it to function? Would you recommend to build one? Why or why not? (For a reference of "custom button panel" take a look at the post below) Thank you in advance for your answers!

Cruz3r Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I build one myself. As board i use this one. It basicliy is plug and play. PC recognises as an seperate controller. Comments on Amazon say, multiple boards will work simultaneously but i havent tested it yet. You need an adittional sottware if you use switches like an ignition key or parking brake, which stay in "on" position, because you need an input when pressing and releasing that button/swich. For that i use AutoHotKey and i wrote my "own" script. Also i use the board from an old Steeringwheel but that is a lot of work and soldering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I've already had an eye on the older version of that controller/board. Are the switches and the ignition key running only with power from the Board/Controller?

Cruz3r Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The switches and ignition act as a button input, as if you hold a normal button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
