I'll be honest, it took about 8 times watching this video to finally get everything figured out. Persistence prevailing I soldiered on, finally finishing a box with 2 toggles, 10 momentary switches (14 including the momentary switches on the encoders) and 4 encoders. I feel accomplished, thank you for laying this out in a very organized, easy to understand, and quick fashion.

This is fascinating, and very well explained. This has, in seven minutes, opened a door to an entirely new realm of electronics projects for me. I haven't comprehended the concepts behind button matrices until watching this video. I've built basic synths, effects pedals, amps, and video game controllers including gated shifters and custom game pads and have really needed to understand this concept for years. Now I understand fully, and can use this method creatively for lots of awesome projects with or without the arduino board. I can now create projects involving much more complex input panels. Thank you!

Hey buddy, I'm not that far yet.I was stupid and bought several square switches, and making the holes for them took ages with an exacto knife... I have 46 functions, I have no clue how my grid or sketch will look, haha. I'm using the USB Joystick PCB for 10 of the buttons, though. It will be 2 boxes in 1. Btw, anyone, go for the round switches. And prepare for micro soldering, the arduino card is TINY.
@basstrammel1322
@basstrammel1322 5 лет назад
If anyone is hesistant to do this because of the soldering, don't worry. You can hot glue dupont wires to the arduino. I'm also ditching the whole box part of it and using a 30" x 12" piece of plywood mounted straight onto my wheel base to have a dashboard. With a slot and 2 x 2" holes for my old smartphone that runs SimDash, it's going to be a wild setup for a few dollars.

A fantastic build idea, especially for the encoders. Personally, I've taken apart an old keyboard, followed all of the traces to mark which pins go to which keys, and am working on a button layout to solder everything in. No programming needed at all, and I simply have to wire the buttons to the keys already used in games.

@ItIsYourBoyMe
@ItIsYourBoyMe 3 года назад
@@wagneralves5915 I haven't actually built this box myself, but when I was watching this video, this was an issue that is unavoidable with this design. For example (I haven't rewatched the video, so might not be 100 % in line with the video), let's say a button is pressed such that current flows between row 1 and column 1 of the wiring as shown in the wiring diagram in the video. If all other buttons/switches are deactivated then everything is fine. However, let's now say that you push a button which is wired to row 2 column 2. Then the entire column 2 is activated, and moreover, if at the same time you push the first button (row 1, col 1) then row 1 col 2 and row 2 col 1 are also activated. This is unavoidable unfortunately, as long as you have more buttons/switches than inputs to the arduino. A solution might be to rewire in a more appropriate way (and update the arduino code) or to disengage some buttons/switches.

The way he showed the buttons and encoders being set up is about the same way you can get led matrixes and some small led cubes.

As long as each component has a unique position in the matrix (i.e. no other component is connected to the same 2 pins on the controller as it) then all should be fine. Even the momentary push on the rotary encoder (bottom row knobs on this build) can be fit into a matrix. (The rotation input cannot, however.)

Damn, I realize I'm late to the party here, but, just wanted to say 'well done, sir!' That's a mighty fine build you've,..... mmm...built.. Wanted to add that instead of tying a knot in your usb cable, a good solution to preventing the cable from coming out would be adding a clip on ferrite bead to the wire. While a usb cable is generally not pushing enough current to create a problem due to the unintentional {mini}inductor we've created (aka the knot) we do know that sim gear (especially our beloved giant motor wheel bases) has a history of creating nasty EMI and making electronics do all kinds of wonky things. So, using a ferrite bead would help in several ways, a 'cable-stop', remove inductance, and lastly, block potential EMI from our other sim gear. Sorry for the long winded msg, I'm sure you know all this but I wanted to explain for any curious passer-by. One more thing (though you probably won't see this because a. The video is years old and b. You would have had to read through me novel above, and I certainly don't blame anyone for saying "F` reading all that") the car in your background... Did you Photoshop that? Whoever did, did a fantastic job! Only reason I recognized it was is because I spent YEARS photochopping myself. Anyways, sorry again, and seriously great work bro, -Michael

if its using a matrix does that mean you can only press a limited number of buttons simultaneously or they wont register?

@SticksAandstonesBozo
@SticksAandstonesBozo 9 месяцев назад
I built a gorgeous box with ignition , toggles , buttons , you name it. But I used a zero delay USB because I just didn’t know about arduino. Little did I know zero delay is straight garbage unless your playing one sim and want to fight it for weeks to get it working. So I just gotta learn how to use the arduino mini I just bought. 🤦‍♂️
@SticksAandstonesBozo
@SticksAandstonesBozo 9 месяцев назад

A few month later I do it for a ps4 ( project car can use a lot of buttons on ps4) but the it doesn’t work( not reconize by the ps4), do you have an idea? I think the problem is the skech of the atmega because is like keypad and not keyboard, what do you think about this ? Great job and and realy big thanks for your diy and also Sorry for my poor english.

what if i don't want rotaries but more buttons, could you do a video on how to change the i.o sketch to add more buttons to this build and where to solder them on the ardino? Or can anyone help with that been trying for a few weeks now and some how just cant get it to work.
@dafoex
@dafoex 5 лет назад
"Solder to TX and RX" That could make reprogramming tricky if you're using those pins. Not impossible, but its something new arduino users should be aware of.
