you'll never know...

my next project would be made with proper midi board, not gamepads...

you'll never know...

[fbonito]

if you remember, i had the idea of using a "rotary enconder" on my controller, well not really a "rotary enconder" but a rotary pulse switch.

i din't get the hands on one yet, but i got two rotary enconders and came out with a solution

you can see the layout here,


so, as i said i have two rotary enconders each one have a switch also, i connected one rotary to one contact in the gamepad and the other one to another contact, and connect the switch on both rotary to both contacts in the game pad.

so, (for example) if i rotate one rotary i get consecutive strokes on UP arrow, and when i rotate the other rorary i get consecutive strokes to LEFT arrow, when i press any rotary i get UP/LEFT arrow

this rotarys will be used to navigate, up and down menus.

when i get the hands in the pulse rotary switches i've talked about, i will "upgrade" the existing ones
