X KEYS

Hi all,
Kester suggested I post this link, from the latest CP magazine. The X-Key matrix looks like a good cheap interface solution.

the usb keys card from open cockpits is something similar.
For people looking for this both are an option to look at.

here a link to the open cockpits card:

priced at 21 euros as a kit and 24 euros build its even cheaper.

I saw this in Computer Pilot Magazine but have not read it yet. However I checked the link and they sell a lot of items a sim builder may find useful. The Viewport looks like a nice addiction for a second monitor without adding another card. May be useful for an ECAS display. Few other items worth looking at.

I've pretty much decided on trying out this 72key switch with two break-out boards, it looks easy enough and the common ground will be a bonus for wiring. http://www.hagstromelectronics.com/products/ke72.html
This one boasts "no matrix issues". I have just bought Matrix Parhelia 3-head 128mg video card on Ebay, I hope it does the trick.
