Re: Designs for control board?

That's a lot of switches... A few years ago we had 4 switches, and it required a lot of practice to push the right one at the right time, i wish you luck in programming and implementing that. is there not a more efficient way to use the joysticks? they have some buttons... as for the 2^16 combinations, that's an interesting idea, but reeeeaaalllly complicated. it's true, but i don't think my team would have had time to wire/program something like that, let alone have it work and practice/debug it. anyway, that's a lot of functions. if 20 switches means 40 functions, you'll probably need at least 2 of the inputs, if you try the combination method.
