Flight Control Button Box for Microsoft Flight Simulator

cross-posted from laser cutting community [email protected] : https://lemm.ee/post/896795

This was my first real dive into Arduino and multiple button mapping. It took a significant amount of trouble shooting and learning the software to get things to map to the computer action.

Prototype 1:Started this project before I had a laser cutter and had tried to just drill through acrylic. It didn't work well, but it held my buttons during testing

Prototype 2 Still no laser cutter but I cut out using plywood worked much better for manually cutting out the holes ![](https://lazysoci.al/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsrmVBoQ.
