' Wrote:Someone made mention of using the Teensy board earlier, great idea ... but i don't think freelancer recognizes any inputs other then the mouse and keyboard. I am not a software guy, and couldn't even begin to fathom what would need to be written (or how) in order for FL to detect something else.
That's the exact reason why I'm planning on using a Teensy - it can easily emulate a mouse and/or a keyboard since it's a USB native chip. You can use it to convert any kind of input (buttons, analog inputs, other sensors) into keystrokes, mouse movements, MIDI note/CC messages - nearly anything you want, really.
If you're interested I'd suggest skimming through this page for an example of how it's been used in a project that's somewhat similar to yours (converting buttons into keyboard output) with a simple and readable code example, even if you've never programmed (in C) before - it's well commented throughout.
