NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 £25 Quadrant by saitek (windows see's it as another joystick) £22 Commander pad by saitek Credits go to Cobol for the Quadrant & Saitek button commander idea, the only thing I did diffrent is I wrapped black insulation tape around the commanders lower half and then applied epoxy resin glue to it and stuck it to the quadrant. The result is left to dry for 1 hour (epoxy sets fast) then I wrapped some more tape around the lower section of the commander & to the quadrant. Underneath the quadrant levers are a bank of switches (next to the green LED.) which I use for fire extinguishers (programed by cobol with X52 pro software. Tape is temp till epoxy sets. At night Ready to fly. The next stage is to mark all the buttons & modes with twin coloured tape. This will show the flight mode/ combat mode & navigation modes. Cobol's original concept idea !!!

CoBoL~SPARTA~ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Version 1 Of The Idea Version 2 Of The Idea, Touch Screen Version 3 Of The Idea, I think this might be a bit much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 What if you organise your buttons into 4 groups and use the bottom 4 buttons to switch between the four groups. This would turn your touch screen into a multifunction display (just like the MFD on fighters) Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBoL~SPARTA~ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I was think of that, putting a Left & Right to flick pages on the screen using ether buttons on the screen, or on the joystick POV, or on the mouse wheel depending what game you playing at the time.

custard~SPARTA~ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thats a bit like the belkin gamepad I use the thumb button has three positions giving triple the options. No wonder you have gone label mad I thought of making a printout of my gamepad and it only has 20 odd buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoScream~SPARTA~ Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 The screen can be used for Teamspeak or what ever when you are in FULL SCREEN game mode on your main PC. For example if your playing ARMA, the second screen which is USB driven shows TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBoL~SPARTA~ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Also to add a note, As new games come out, I am sure the R & D team of sparta will be developing all sorts of goodies for these little devices.

CoBoL~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Here it is guys, the new improved version. Probably not the last, but eh ? Excuse the shitty photos, still not got my descent camera back from a mate. Screens, I did not do these, They are created to a guy on the touch buddy forum, I just resized em for my screen, and adjusted layout a bit. The touchy bit works a charm. See you on the next revision, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis~SPARTA~ Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Published 10/16/2008 by John Brownlee at Boing Boing Gadgets ... MIMO display (Korea only, for now) seems like just the ticket. A small, 7" LCD that connects to your computer as an additional monitor via a spare USB port, the MIMO is surprisingly cheap.The basic, screen-only version is only $78, where as the more advanced UM-750 features a touchscreen, TV tuner and built-in webcam for only $147. Keeping my fingers crossed that this hits the States... and by the time it does, it adds in Mac support.

Xross Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 That little widget looks like it might be real handy to have around. Hate to pay the post from the U.K. but...... I'll see if I can talk myself out of it......but I doubt it. With all of these USB devices I hope the next generation of Mobo's have more ports on them....a lot more.
