Hagstrom - Rotary knobs ?

Hi Nico
I didnt know you were on this forum too

I also pointed out in my first post into this thread that whilst the KE72 will work well that Open Cockpits was really the way to go

What I forgot to add was for the cost of a ke72 you can buy an open cockpits
master card + a usb expansion card
with those two you get 72 inputs , 45 outputs for leds etc , 4 inputs for potentiometers to control axis such as throttles etc you also get a conector to add 4 display cards each of which can control 16 seven segment displays,
you can also add a further 3 master cards to the usb expansion , and if thats not enough just add more expansion cards

Bill said in his post....
for guys with absolutely no knowledge of electronics or computer programming simply getting a switch to work is thrilling.

I agree entirely Bill but what you probably havent realised is that the Open cockpits gear is just as easy to program as the KE72 but is more versatile because of the outputs , and not just Led outputs, You can get cards for motors, servos etc so you can make real working gauges, but for me what was most important was its no more expensive than buying the KE72

Again Don thank you for your advice. I am committed to the KE72 as I received it as a Christmas present.
