Apologies..as I posted this in the wrong section


Hi All...started to build a cockpit..and bought the poKeys 56...downloaded the software etc..tried to wade through the manual..but jeez....I can't fathom it out at all!

I wired up a simple On/Off switch onto it (should be relatively easy?)...opened up the software....and got utterly befuddled!

Surely, if all the thing needs to do, is make an On/Off switch work... I must be as thick as a brick. It's easy enough to do on a Joystick or yoke.

I assume it's designed for much more complex jobs than an On/Off switch...but would be so nice to just be able to get even one damn switch working :sad:

Are there any easier cards to use?

If you're just looking to wire up switches and buttons why not try out the Leo Bodnar BU0836A board?
You may find this easier to work with.

Finally got this card working...don't know why I bothered to download the manual though..it's worse than useless. Full of utterly irrelevant specs..and little else
