Custom IL2 control panel

[Bolelas]

Very nice Neo. Dont you try to add some LED´s? One other thing you can use in the Bodnar card is the rotary encoders. If you dont know what they are, it is the volume butons of modern carr radios. Easy to connect and bodnar has a program to deal with them. I will use them for trims: If you rotate left they will push a certain button, if rotate to right it will push other button. if you buy them with push buton it can be programed to center the trim. The disavantage is you dont know trim position only by looking at the knob. The advantage is you can use it for bombsight controls, you dont have to use axis for trim, , and i think it is more sensitive the key methode than the axis one. By using pots on trim it passes 4 key inputs at once! But, as i am not sure, do some tests on it and post here. (maybe you have more acuracy with multiturn pots). I soon will start my second Throttle and will post here some pictures.

I did use cheap rotaries from ebay but they never worked out that good for me. Could never get them to react fast enough, guess you get what you pay for... And I really don't need them with all these analogues.

But analog is not as sensitive as key inputs, try it! Analog is good for fast changes, like combat. Or combine both.
