Title: Controls...
Post by: DaveH on October 27, 2007, 02:36:19 AM
Hi,

I know that there are probably more switches and dials in SSM that could be mapped to a keyboard, but I was wondering...

Will we be able to assign or remap keyboard commands?

Will some or all of the switches be assignable to key strokes?

Thanks!

Dave

Been there - not practical.

Hi DaveH,

I'm reviewing this thread now, and in light of your latest posts which led to the creation of the "Space Shuttle Cockpit" Poll, I assume that this "keyboard mapping" question is in exactly the same context, correct?

You were considering the the use of a keyboard emulator board for that purpose, similar to Beta Innovations Plasma or Gammaray boards, right?

Hi,

Exactly. There are several solutions available, but they all accomplish basically the same thing - allowing you to configure switches and rotaries to function as a keyboard.

Thanks!
