How hard is that shit?
I'd like a control panel of nicely haptic buttons for some of the Arma 3 side features, Lights on/off, Engine on/off, Chaff, Smokelauncher etc.
From what I gathered researching it's basically just building a box, soldering some switches to a micro controller and bob's your uncle. I feel 80% confident I can do those things - am I missing something? Anyone ever build their own "sim"-control-deck?
One of the arduinos can be used as a usb-hid. Check hackaday or instructables and you'll find a bunch of easy keyboard like projects. I looked it into it a while back for a stroke PT glove but never pulled the trigger on it.
