Looking good, are you planning to sell them?
If so, I would be interested

lol !!
This is not a sales thread, just thought I would share how I am making ICP Modules. Besides, these are all spoken for
Looks good Propnut. Clean job, they might not be 100% accurate as you said, but they are certainly doing their job and they look kick ass!
Well done -

then any more detailed info how to build them?
-
Hi Arty, what type of details would you like?
-
All??? :lol:
where u bought what?
how the buttons sent the command to the USB controller? I mean the contact…
The USB controller Teensy is it? which version? (looks like 3) -
Everything?!!
Umm…let me try;
The USB controller is a Teensy++ 2.0 available here:
http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensypp_pins.htmlSince I have zero programming skills I used this drag and drop programing software to create the programming:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/generichid/files/
For information on using it see the creators website here:
http://generichid.sourceforge.net/
The buttons on the PCB board use a common ground and each one is individually connected (+) to an input on the Teensy++ 2.0 (see the PCB board for the teensy in the pictures on the first page). The buttons themselves are micro-switches with tactile feedback.
Almost everything was purchased via Ebay except the Teensy’s.
Everything was cut and shaped on my DIY CNC router table, details here:
The basic design for my floating tool holder can be found here (see post # 10):

Whats used for dcs switch?
-
The dobber switch is a matrix of four buttons on the PCB sub panel which are pushed in turn by tilting the center post in the direction of the button. A large washer held in place by lock nuts pushes down on the button applying force. A pretty simple design that works well.
Whats used for dcs switch?
Quote above is from the first post, let me know if I can help further.

I can attest that the MK1 works well can’t wait to get my little grubby paws on the MK2:). I have put the MK1 through it’s paces and it is holding up great. It is real nice to have this ICP while “In game”. A big thanks to Propnut and his work on this project!
