I’ve got my horn lever wired up what is the code it’s in A5, A4, A3, A2

Not sure off the top of my head. Really doesn’t matter as when you are testing/programming assignments while in “Joy to Key” it will become apparent what switch is which.

Hi! What a great controller!! I'm building one myself and I'd like to ask you about the black switch just above the leftmost lever. I'm looking for a 3 way switch like that one but I only find switches that need 200V or more to work. Where did you find this one? At what voltage is it rated? Thanks!!
@whitsim8284 Жыл бұрын
Thanks, I hope you build one too. The voltage switch listed is normally the maximum, not the minimum. I got mine as a 2 pack off Amazon for around $15 USD. This is the exact item title: “Momentary Selector Switch 22mm 2NO XB2-20X/33 APIELE Pack of 2(3 Position Momentary)”

Did you use any resistors for the buttons?. I’m nearly finished with my controller but I have a doubt. I have resistors on my breadboard for each button but I don’t know if I’ll need them when I connect the final buttons in my project. Thank you very much!

Hi, how do you make the horn lever? I have the 2 way spring return joystick?
@whitsim8284 Жыл бұрын
Each of the two positions is just mapped to a different joystick button so I can get both tones. In JoyToKey, I mapped it in my “UK Loco” profile to the high and low pitch horns. I also cut down the shaft a bit and epoxied the ball back on to make it a slightly different size from the throttle and brake controllers.

Do I need any wires to wire it up

All I have is a spring return 2 way joystick, do I need to buy some special thing for it, if you can, can you list things that I need so I can get it on to my pc.

Shall I buy any arduino bit then plug the usb into it, open the software and then open controltokey and start customising it?
@nopuedomas2006 Жыл бұрын
Great!! Does it need to be plugged to a socket or is it just usb?
@whitsim8284 Жыл бұрын
Only USB. The controller draws minimal power so the USB voltage alone will suffice.

I'm not familiar with train controllers but the ones I have started with have stepped power throttles and I would want that as a feature of my train controller. Tapping a joystick a bit or a lot doesn't do it for me. Also switches for wipers, lights etc need to be closer to real life and some of these can be labelled I'm sure. That said, good on you mate. Making your own has to be so fulfilling and make you feel even more in touch with your engine. Good job!
@whitsim8284 Жыл бұрын
Thanks, you make some good points too. And some locos have stepped notches, other are smooth motion. It depends on the loco… That said, I’ve intentionally kept things generic for a wide variety of stock and hence why there is no labeling. For example, one lever may be used as the dynamic brake on a certain loco but on another for setting the cruise control. The same multiple role concept goes for switches and buttons too.

Joy2Key - meaning in 2022 there's STILL no way to bind joystick buttons or axis? I have a series of flight sim throttles I'd really love to use to control TSW3, looking into how to do it. Would prefer a smooth axis control
@whitsim8284 2 жыл бұрын
Not at the moment. However if you’re looking to try using joystick axis control there are some pretty clever people on the Dovetail Games Forum that have created some interface software.
