This is version 2 of my original Button Box that can be seen here. The key differences are:
- No 2 way switches. I didn't feel they were useful for simracing.
- Different Encoders that provide a stronger notch feel.
But I also used Cherry MX Buttons because I could.
You will need to print:
- A base
- A top
- 4 x switch backs - I would screw these into place before gluing them. Then add the switches and front panels.
- 4 x Front Panels - I have included mine and a blank so you can make your own.
The Arduino side of things is pretty much the same although the circuit arrangement and code is slightly different. The uploads I have provided should be correct for the circuit but please check.
The box still uses a Vesa mount arrangement - see other design for a couple of mounts.
After trying different methods for securing all the wires on the back together I found blue crimps worked best.
If you don't want to buy key caps then it is possible to print some but I just didn't like the look as much as I did the smooth red ones.
