I have two usb axis cards from open cockpit, I would like to use toggle switches instead of buttons for some of the controls. what do I need to be able to do this?. I have searched the forums for info. other than making my own componant. I cannot find anything that does this.I see all kinds of panels made by other simmers, so there must be a way to do this. any help will be appreciated. thanks.

buy an open cockpits Master card, you can attach up to 72 switches to it (push buttons, toggle switches, rotary switches, grey type rotary decoders, ...)and also buy a usb Expansion Card from open cockpits and connect the Master Card to the usb Expansion Card (so you do not need the LPT: port)Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl

Thanks for your reply ( both of you ). I have considered the small circuit board before. now I will be looking into both ideas. thanks again.

If you go for the relay option I found a supplier with realy cheap used relays.www.allelectronics.comThey have all kinds of usefull stuff.Have fun.
