Hardware & Technical DIY Simpit hardware input problem.

As I mentioned in a previous post about Control Panels I mentioned that I am building my own button board using a USB interface with 32 push buttons connected.

It is still a work in progress and I have just got to the testing stage. It detects button presses with the software supplied by the PCB manufacturer and other programs but the Alpha 1.1 standalone doesn't detect the button presses when I try to assign functions in "Control Options". I'm using Win 8.1 which detects the USB interface as a "DSD 32 Button Controller - EST". I've tried it with and without my HOTAS connected with no joy.

Is it a case of the Elite Client being not so sophisticated that it will only accept inputs from certain devices or is there something I have overlooked?

Not sure about the launcher, hopefully it will be recognised by a more recent build.

But that is one good looking bit of kit there. :cool:

Hope you get it working. and you could always email FD and see what they think is possible.
 
Alpha 1.1 only recognises one usb input device I think, and you need to make sure it's plugged in before starting E: D up.

Looks great by the way!
 
Reviving thread since it seems ED is still having issues for those of us with a bigger number of devices connected/certain uncommong devices.

I cant understand why a very basic device, detected and functioning without problems in windows, cant be detected by ED?
