That's fucking rad. You should make a few and sell them.

Name a price, I might be interested.

Also: join us in /r/diyelectronics!

[–]niko1499[S] 102ポイント103ポイント  (33子コメント)

Thanks man. It means a lot that people like it so much. The problem with making another like this one is that it was made with a lot of recycled/unique components. The case and number pad are from a heathkit educational board. The three position switches were salvaged from a server rack thing and one of the knobs is off of an ancient oscilloscope. I'm kinda considering making a more generic cheaper version that could be produced and sold but I'm not sure I have the time to try to make a business of it.

[–]manticore116 34ポイント35ポイント  (4子コメント)

If you just made the design of the case parts and the wiring harness diagram it's doable.

Most of the switches are stuff are a few bucks at any electronic supplier, and the keyboard someone could make will individual cherry switches

*just looked on mcmaster-carr while I wait for food. Most of the switches/buttons are under $7 each, and a 4 position rotary toggle is $12

[–]BukowskifiedMaster Kerbalnaut 19ポイント20ポイント  (3子コメント)

Honestly McMaster isn't the cheapest place for switches like this. Since they don't need to be high voltage or high use the switches don't need to be much more than something that looks good and has a good action. I have quite a few switches and buttons that I've ordered from online sellers that are closer to $2 per switch.

[–]niko1499[S] 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ya I got thing cheaper in general form eBay, Sparkfun, Adafruit, Amazon, and recycled parts. I think the red buttons were $.99 each. Most of it is in the BOM I linked.

Just out of curiosity do you mind sharing the arduino program you wrote? I have a Leonardo which should be able to use the HID code to control KSP, but haven't had any luck with it.

[–]niko1499[S] 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

crtl-f "code" It was written for the DUE so it uses keyboard lib.

There are a couple options for that though:

  • For two way communication there is this mod I have not been able to get it to work though. They don't have it working for Windows 10 and I even tried re installing 8 and still couldn't get it to work. I still hope to get two way communication with the game working eventually.

  • Another way is this firmware for the arduino that makes it behave like a generic USB joystick.

  • What I am currently using in an arduino due It has support of native USB which can act like a keyboard using the keyboard library that comes in the Arduino IDE. It also has interrupts on every pin so that makes it especially nice for this application. The switch that says on/prog hot switches the USB port on the Arduino DUE.

I left my CAD files half way across the country. oops. Otherwise I would post them right now. I can post them in a week. I'll PM you when I do. For now here is this outdated image of the laser path. In terms of wiring its really simple. almost everything with the exception of the rotary switches and number pad are just buttons from ground to signal with an internal pullup on the Arduino. The number pad cycles rows high and reads on columns. And the rotary switches are set up as voltage dividers and use analog inputs. Only becaus I ran out of pins and didn't want to go to shift registers for a just a few more buttons.

[–]The_Flying_KV-4 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

      Well his parts cost was 168 according to the spreadsheet he posted and it's hand made which probably took a while. I'd expect it to be around 500+.

      [–]SaintNickPR 6ポイント7ポイント  (6子コメント)

      From what i see it has a mode switch with 5 modes which probably means you can configure the whole panel 5 different ways so it would be plenty of buttons...i think there would need to be some software for that though

      [–]niko1499[S] 17ポイント18ポイント  (5子コメント)

      Yep. currently the mode selector which is a guitar pickup only changes how the flight controls work(pitch and translation) on the digital joystick the three buttons below it and the wasd keys on the left. But it could conceivably change any of the buttons. One mode also allows the joystick to act as a mouse.

      [–]csmicfool 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Looks like the mode selector on a Stratocaster.

        This would probably me the simplest way for us to all get one of these in our homes. Sell the patterns and directions for $45-50, leave the assembly and parts acquisitions to us and the OP will probably walk away with a nice profit.

              This is very true. Just the parts alone are expensive, and it takes a lot of time to build it. If you value your time even a little bit, the item becomes too expensive. I learned this building a vaporizer with the idea I might sell them.

                    Album Sorry it's out of order working on sorting the photos.

                    BOM Parts list and thing I found useful when researching the project.

                    EDIT:1

                    I'm about to get on a plane but I will answer all questions and comments when I get home.

                    EDIT:2

                    Also here is an image of the laser cutter pattern.

                    EDIT:3

                    Here is the code some parts are still in progress. I'm no CS major so don't judge my methods.

                    EDIT:4

                    Will add CAD files here in one week. (sorry don't have access right now)

                    If you want me to notify you when anything happens PM me or comment anywhere with PM in the title. I'll look them all up and respond

                    I am more than happy to answer any and all questions.

                    So many people have asked for one that I am contemplating a kickstarter. We'll see.

                    You really could sell these for 150-200 dollars easily. Even if it just included the electronics and (especially) the cut plastic parts, all tossed into a bag to be assembled by the purchaser.

                    EDIT: I see the individual parts cost about $170. Yikes. Only thing I can think of to make the machine cheaper is removing the $40 display. A LED square with a picture on top would work.

                    [–]SilasDG 53ポイント54ポイント  (15子コメント)

                    From his parts list it costs him $166.58 just for the parts and it looks like he hald about 1/3 of the parts already and listed them as "$0.00" in cost. So it would probably cost 200-250 just for him to get all the parts.

                    [–]VenditatioDelendaEst 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

                    And some of it they don't even make anymore. The circuit board on that keypad has been laid out by hand. You'd have to source a whole new keypad. You might be able to use this, or one like it.

                    [–]funderbunk 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                    I would probably use this keypad, removing two rows to make it 3x5.

                    [–]Sqeaky 4ポイント5ポイント  (9子コメント)

                    I wonder how much that could be reduced buying bulk, 3d printing some parts and contracting out the custom circuit boards. Perhaps even making a tool or machine to make some of the parts.

                    An individual project and Business venture have different places they can save money. Individual projects can often be done for nearly free when the parts happen to be laying around, but just as often balloon in price for some detail the owner cares deeply about but might not be significant in a project (that LCD screen?). A business venture can consistently be made inexpensive through the power of bulk and/or automation.

                        Even if you ignored the cost of the parts, $200 wouldn't cover the cost of his time. This would have to be mass-produced to get that cheap.

                        If he bought them in bulk it'd be much much cheaper, although I'm not really sure the market is large enough to warrant buying that many.

                        [–]LeifCarrotson 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                        The way to make it cheaper would be to cheap out on all the buttons and switches. With laser-cutting or CNC equipment (or injection molding) and SMD LEDs, you could make illuminated rubber dome buttons for $0.25 for each function in parts cost, or $0.50 for mini SMD tactile buttons. No toggle switches, but you can turn on the LED to indicate state.

                        Mechanical switches are expensive!

                        It's not just the parts. A TON of time goes into making stuff like this. I've made stuff only 1/100th this cool and sold it for a fair amount of money but even then it came out to like a few dollars an hour for the work I put on to it.

                              I too thought it was a classic Lego Space part. I have an original Space Cruiser and the colors look perfect. Using that made your build 300% more awesome.

                              But you actually put a programmable mini OLED screen there and had the presence of mind to use the classic logo as a placeholder/offline image? Makes it 1000% more awesome!

                                The only thing I see missing is a test button. Nothing as fun as turning on all the warning lights/sounds at the same time.

                                That's what I'm always wondering. In theory, you could just put a raspberry pi in there and do it via the network. However, that seems overkill. The other option is to write a driver for that thing.

                                Once you have spent 200 dollars on parts, adding 30 for a raspi doesn't seem much trouble to me :)

                                      I love the two kinds of protected toggle switches. Really gives it that "command module control panel" feel.

                                      I would have been sorely tempted to make all the toggles like that, but that'd be dumb and I'm glad you didn't :)

                                      First off let me say congratulations on designing and building such an amazing controller. Though from what I have read from other posts here not many could afford one the vast majority of us really would love to have one. So that is a great indicator of how much players would appreciate the opportunity to purchase one at a future time and date disposable income allowing naturally. You may want to consider selling the design to the game makers on the off chance the may show interest in it with luck.

                                        Etch with laser then I painted it with White Out for that extra pop. Scratche'd off the excess with scrap acrylic. There are photos of the process in the album I linked.

                                          Or does it just get confused if you leave the switches in the wrong position?

                                          I assume there's a KSP mod behind that. I'd just request the state of the board every time you go to the launch pad and then you're good to go.

                                          Right now it gets confused if you leave it in the wrong position because it is just an Arduino DUE acting like a keyboard. Its easy to fix when it happens though. There is a MOD that would fix this and provide two way communication with the game but I haven't been able to get it to work for me. Right now the plan is to try to get that to work and then do a video once I have two way communication.

                                            That was a specialty recycled item. They were buttons on an old server rack used for swapping video inputs that my school threw out. There are some other cool options that could be done for annunciation lights. I like these. I also toyed around with the idea of doing them in laser etched opaque acrylic.

                                            Is that "mode" toggle switch a 5-way pickup selector from a stratocaster? Nice.

                                            I would really like one of those, but I'm too inexpirienced/lazy to build one, and can't find anyone that would be willing to sell it. When people make those, they usually make only one piece and only for their personal use. If only there was somebody who had enough money and determination to make a business on building and selling those on a factory scale. I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes.

                                            Nice job! Did it take much programming?

                                            I've vaguely considered trying my hand at making something similar, but never found the time to look into it seriously, and it doesn't help that while I love messing around with electronics, I do not understand programming at all.

                                            That throttle control! That's obviously not the slide pot in your parts list. I looked up SpectraSymbol, is that the 'SoftPot'? Does it work well? Do you have to slide it or can you tap at the spot you want?

                                            Is the logo a sticker? I feel like you wouldn't put a display there... But it would be kind of cool to have something dynamic

                                            The LEGO logo is a OLED display. Don't currently have code to display stuff on it but the idea is it will do fuel/altitude information.
