![]() Was almost on the money, not a bad estimate. Now I need to somehow get the warthog system inside the KG13 ![]()

So after a good deal of head scratching and a fantastic suggestion from Sokol1 I think I know what has to be done...
Due to the need for the Warthogs stick to remain attached in order to be registered by windows I will not be stripping out the warthog stick instead I will be tricking windows into thinking the KG13 is a USB Ps3 Controller or keyboard ![]() To do this I need a USB board and the Teensy look like it will do the job ![]() http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ The dimensions are 1.2" by 0.7" So, the Teensy will fit in the box that previously housed the 8 pin din connector ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I just need to understand what each wire controls and rewire them to the teensy.. at least I hope its that easy. The warthog stick itself will be connected to the base but stowed in a box I am going to make. The last thing I need is a connector from Mentalnwood's warthog extension to the KG13 which I can hopefully get manufactured locally. Like I said before... now I need to figure out how to wire it correctly, the next and probably last hurdle. I hope its just a case of soldering the wire to the board but I am not certain.

I received and tested the teensy board today, it works.
Now I need to understand which wires should go where ![]()

So after some help from C6_trollbug I now have the wires setup correctly... unfortunately they are reversed i.e. rather than turning on when i press a button they turn off
![]() Here is the code I am using... void setup() { pinMode(0, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(1, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP); } void loop() { // read the digital inputs and set the buttons Joystick.button(1, digitalRead(0)); Joystick.button(2, digitalRead(1)); Joystick.button(3, digitalRead(2)); Joystick.button(4, digitalRead(3)); // a brief delay, so this runs 20 times per second delay(50); }

Sorted
![]() void setup() { pinMode(0, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(1, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP); pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP); } void loop() { // read the digital inputs and set the buttons Joystick.button(1, digitalRead(0) == LOW); Joystick.button(2, digitalRead(1) == LOW); Joystick.button(3, digitalRead(2) == LOW); Joystick.button(4, digitalRead(3) == LOW); // a brief delay, so this runs 20 times per second delay(50); }

Almost finished.....
So the first thing I did was purchase Metalnwoods amazing Warthog extender http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...3184593/1.html Then went about thinking of how to position it and get it positioned at the right height and was shown this cheap effective design from Paradaz ![]() http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.ph...3377271/1.html So thanks to Paradaz and Metalnwood I now have a brilliant centre mounted warthog which I will be converting to a KG13 in a few weeks :goofy: Today I tested the centre mount and I am VERY VERY happy its fantastic, so much more control its precise and hopefully will improve my terrible accuracy :thumbsup: Anyway that's enough from me here are some pics... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry for the terrible quality.
