key matrix

Hi ,I am thinking to change my hardware from EPIC to Phidget becouse of my low programming knowladge of EPL.

I read documents of Phidget on the wab page.
I think it fits my skills.

Question is: May I use any card of Phidget as a key matrix? I mean ; 8x8 matrix which corresponds to 64 switches.

Best regards.

Hello,

The FS2Phidget currently doesn't support matrix set ups. We had discussed matrix lay out's in theory, but have no working examples as of yet. There is an issue with switches cross firing and causing problems. It's a fundamental hardware issue with trying to build switch matrixes, not a Phidgets or software issue. Right now the only option is for users to wire directly to inputs 1X1. Most users favor the 0/16/16 IFK for this purpose.
