Re: MAX7219 daisy chain connexion

Don't miss to add a 10µF capacitor to both : image.png Absolutely, also note the diode under the area that the capacitor goes ? - this ideally needs removing and a link soldering across it. It is meant as reverse polarity protection but causes big issues. If you daisy chain the devices then each de...

Re: Emulate key press with air manager

Hi, you can do this without air manager. An Arduino Leonardo or preferably the chinese Pro Micro at a couple of euros can be programmed to emulate a PC Joystick with up to 32 buttons, you can use some 165 shift registers for the inputs for the buttons. Your sim will recognise the unit as a joystick ...

Re: Superb Customer Service

Beautiful work ! :)

How functional are they ?

I was lucky enough to spend a few days at United Airlines in 2001 on their mode D 737-200 full motion sim and classroom work. I loved it. A pleasure to fly. Even got a 'high dive' in my log book :D

thanks

Re: [SOLVED & RPi Pico Issue] NANO - CH340 - Win 11 - Flashing issues / RPi Pico communication issue MessagePort

Hello Gilles, :)
Very neat!. Like all PSU adapters I think it needs a good selection of fuses on the output (as does the one I linked to above) - I have a plan to cut the tracks and solder fuse holders onto the back of the PCB on mine.

Re: Advice on Lie syntax

Load the 'blink' sketch from the examples in Arduino IDE and then try again. ;)
