This is somewhat of a cross post from SimHub. I hope that’s okay here as this is my first post and first time using an arduino. I recently purchased quite a few electronics from AliExpress to build a button box for my sim racing rig but I am having a hard time, however, making sense of the wiring. …

Hello Railroader! Thanks for the link! I read through the guide and the only things I can think of that I haven’t done are post links to the hardware data sheet/purchase page (which I can’t do because I’m a new account) or I possibly posted in the wrong category. Would you mind advising me as to h…

[image] MisFitz: Would you mind advising me as to how to improve my question so that I might get some help? Do not post links to your diagrams and code in third party sites. Post them like you were told to when you read that link.

I’m only able to post a single piece of media in my post since my account is new and the pinout and wiring diagram is 3 in total. Let me try to stitch the pictures together and I’ll reupload. EDIT: Spliced them all together in MS Paint and uploaded image.

[image] MisFitz: EDIT: Uploaded picture of pinout and wiring diagram to post. Sorry that is not what you have uploaded. We need a schematic not a photograph with lines on it. Quite frankly that is worse than useless at being able to see what you have. Please read this [image] …

Thanks for the link. I just tried to draw out the diagram as best I could on a piece of notebook paper and updated the original post with it. It's still a little confusing based on the layout of the switches and buttons but hopefully it is a bit more organized and easy to read. [wiring diagram dr…

[image] MisFitz: and updated the original post with it You should not do that because it makes all the requests for a diagram look silly and spoils the narrative of the thread. This action is described in the house rules you have been pointed at. Second I can't see the link in the first post…

I reverted the picture in the first post to the original and posted the drawn diagram in my previous post. Which link is not working for you? The thingiverse or the imgur link? Both seem to be working fine for me.

I really don't think you have got the hang of schematics. There are no rotary encoders shown anywhere, but they are in your photograph. Where do these connect to your processor? Seven rotary encoders are going to be hard to read. What type are they? Are they smooth or do they click as you rotate th…

I don’t really have the hang of anything to be quite honest. I tried to mention it in my first post but this is the first time I’ve worked with an arduino and the first time I’ve worked with small electrical components. Most of my background is in building keyboards from pre-packaged components and …
