The Leo Bodnar device - A little help...?
The Leo Bodnar device - A little help...? Posted on: 17.11.2009 by Shay Wyche I have bought the Leo Bodnar HID device and I've filled the digital button outputs and used 6 of the analogue inputs for faders/pots. I was wondering if I could put a joystick in to the two remaining analogue inputs and use it as an x-y controller. I'm really not sure if this would work.Also, what are the 4 inputs on the bottom/middle of the unit (Up, down, left, right). Can these be used for additional buttons? Ooops, nearly forgot to put in the link...http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836X/ Any help would be really appreciated as I'm looking to make the final cuts on my case this weekend (If the Alps faders arrive in time). Cheers. Archie. | |

When I get more components delivered I will post a few more photos. Thanks again for the help, it's appreciated. |

| Latia Pfleider 18.11.2009 | ya I believe thats how those would work, if you believe of the 8 way hat switch or a 8 way arcade joystick most of them use 4 buttons and the diagonal directons are really just pushing up and right or up and left, ect. so i believe whats going to happen is when you push up it will be button 1 (or whatever) and when you push up and right it will be button 2 and right will be button 3 untill you get around to 8..... I believe you will have to test that one yourself also it says on the sparkfun site the playstation style are 10k pots, 1 pot for x and 1 for y. http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...oducts_id=9032 |

| Latia Pfleider 18.11.2009 | what type of joystick do you want? I have read that some pc joysticks work of analog pots, the playstation like ones from sparkfun should work. I believe those 4 middle pins are the 8 way hat switch part, ther is 4 because up + right would register as up/right position, 4way/8way arcade sticks are kinda like that. Your board is like mine except the pins are set on yours. When you get to mapping let me know. |
