where could i get these in the uk??
I built my overhead panel with the 2120,
It's still good for 2019 solfware program?
To: Mr. T Chandler, AZ, Well, you finally got in touch with us even though is was through a RUclips Posting. We emailed you a number of time trying to tell you that your order was returned. Written on the box RETURN to SENDER - FWD? You did not answer our emails, so we refunded the purchase price for the board $50.00, which was the right thing to do under the circumstance You indicated on the RUclips post, we did not give you an explanation for the refund, why then did you not read the comment section at the bottom of the refund page emailed to you where I mentioned the reason for the refund. Bobby B
I'm not Mr.T, but I find this post amazing being that I've been emailing you for months and not one reply. Your facebook page's last post was November of 2018 as well. Nothing in spam on my end so I'm guessing you're out of business or have no clue that your email stopped working, OR just stopped caring to answer people trying to buy your product.
Does this work with windows 10
The board will work with XP, Win 7 and Win 10
Thanks
how to get rare item this
To see the 2120, you can goto: www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_2120/index.htm
can this work with warthunder? i know i know it is not like the real flight sim games but it has many many controls that require special keys that no keyboard can accommodate. so I am looking into building my own flight interface for warthunder and wondering if this one works on it. Please help me if you can.
Hi, can you please make one of the 2190
Can I use this for other games instead of flight simulator?
YES! The 2120 can be used on other simulator programs that support a Joystick devices.
Will this work with DCS World?
Sorry, not. DCS World required a Keyboard Emulator like out Model KBD02 Board desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_KBD01/index.htm
so that thing has 3 channels and each channel can have 1 encoder and 3 toggles or push buttons?
Do you happen to know if this will work on later versions of Windows like 7 and new versions of Flight simulator like Microsoft FSX
Is the usb cable to plug the board into the computer included
The UBS cable is not included. It can be purchased separately.
I see the board is 38 but how much is shipping to the north Texas area
For orders less then $75.00 the board is shipped by FLAT Rate mail for $8.95
DTA34613 thank you
DTA34613 and confirm we use spst toggle switches, correct?
YES! SPST toggle or rocker switches will work with the 2120 board
$8.95 via FLAT Rate mail
can someone help me? How that switch works? like press and hold on key "kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk" or when you turn on 1 time only sends "k" i want it send one time when i turn switch on it should send like pressing one time and when i turn it off should send 1 time "off" command... because if that sends commands continous with a hundred swtiches that ll be a problem. I need help sorry for my poor english i hope that u understand
Vio Vio it produces a 1/4 second pulse command so it would be like holding the k buttons for 1/4 second.
is the list of the functions down on this page: www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_2120/index.htm ONLY what it can do? i doesn't say there i will control lights, so does it control ANYTHING in the plane?
NoJackAway it can control anything you can map a key to. All it does is send a 1/4 second key command
This video is old but i think i need it,.....can it work with fsx or prepar3d? if yes what is the cost?
The video might be old but the information it contains is still correct. The 2120 board does work with FSX, FSX-SE, P3D, X-Plane 10 and the newer X-Plane 11. Price for the 2120 is $38.00 + shipping
Where and how are those wires called you toggle to the switches and connect them to that card and from that card you can easily assemble it into the PC, do some configuration and it works.
For easier connection of the toggle switches to the board, we now have available, on our PARTS page 2-pin connectors on a pair of 14 inch wires. The wire end is soldered to the 2 terminals on the spst toggle switch. The 2-pin connector is placed on any of the 20 available inputs. When all 20 switches are connected, set the flight functions using FSUIPC or the available settings on X-Plane
THANK YOU !!! This was VERY helpful to explain how to setup / create buttons for my simulator. Great Job
Cool. What chip is this board based on?
The PIC18F2450 chip
Where do I buy that exact switch used iser in the video?
will this work with mac and the simulator is xplane 10?
Hi, Although we do not have a MAC to test the compatibility of the 2120, many customers have informed us that all of our circuit boards and panels, including the 2120, were detected with a MAC computer. The 2120 is a HID Joystick device, so there should be no compatibility issues.
Also, the 2120 is compatible with X-Plane 10.xx and newer versions
Does this work on other Sims like DCS, Star Citizen, Mech Warrior etc.
Hi, The 2120 is sensed by the computer as a Joystick and the appropriate driver is loaded. So with this in mind; the 2120 will work with any type of simulator that accepts joystick inputs. A simulator that accept keyboard inputs alone; the 2120 is not compatible
are your kits plug and play installation?
Hi Cecilio, The 2120 board is designed to be seen by the computer as a joystick controller. So when the board is first plugged in, the computer loads the appropriate driver software. When loaded, the 2120 is ready to be programmed with the desired flight function. No other software is needed. So you can say the board is plug-n-play
DTA34613 so can I use this for American Truck Simulator?
yup :)
does anybody have a more in depth instruction on how to do the toggle switch or can I just use the existing prongs?
Additional 2120 instructions can be found at: desktopaviator.com/Instructions/Model_2120/index.htm
Can I solder the wires straight to the board, I'm having issues with the two pin connectors not really connecting very well, I've got a few where this isn't a problem, but a few of them are sort of intermittent, maybe super glue? Other than that this is such a cool product.
You can solder wires directly to the underside of the board but care must be taken not to create any shorts (solder bridges) between connection points. I recommend that you use a 30 watt soldering pencil with a very small point. Solder flux should also be used. It helps to allow the solder to flow easier on the wire.
Will this work with Prepar3d?
Darren Cole Gold it is detected as a joystick so yes
Can we use Rotary Switches? How do we get those to work?
Hello. I bought this board and have added a few switches all of which test out in the properties panel. When I program them in FSX they only work by throwing the switch twice. It doesnt recognize on/off as such. The only way to turn them on and off is, as i say, throwing the switch twice. Can you help?
+Michael Browning - Hi Michael. You probably purchased the Model 2160 in stead of the 2120 (board seen in video). The 2160 creates only 1 pulse when the spst toggle switch is flipped. For a spst toggle, you need the 2120 board. To get the 2160 board working, you need to wire a spdt (single pole double throw) toggle, whether flipping the switch up or down, will produce a 1/4 second pulse.
I purchased the 2040 from you, which I now understand only supports the single push switch. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to electronics etc. I guess I will need to purchase the 2120 now. Thanks for your answer.
+Michael Browning - The 2040 board can also be used with SPDT toggle switches. It can be wired just like the 2160 board as I described above. Instead of a pulse coming from the board as the 2160 would create; the 2040 is a constant ON when the input pins are shorted to ground. So using this configuration, the 2040 supports up to 10 single pole double throw switches (two 2040 inputs need to be connected to one toggle switch). Then the switch can be configured to any available flight function using the command: (Example) Landing Lights ON (toggle switch flipped up)- Landing Lights OFF (toggle switch flipped down).
And where did you get this from??
Desktopaviator.com
will the driver work with windows 7 thx
+sirells007 !!! Hi, YES! All of our circuit boards and Panels are supported by all Windows operating systems, including Win7
What type of wire is needed to solder onto the connects?
I am making a board with spring back buttons AND toggle switches... WOUld this board work or no for this job. Also NO rotary switches. Remember, I WILL be using my keyboard as an overhead still so this board needs to be non keystroke emulated just a plain joystick recognized one. Any help would be great.......
guys how to connect led with switches for fsx?
+Costantinos Theodoulou - It is very easy to wire up LEDs to the toggle switch connected to the 2040 board. You can goto: desktopaviator.com/Instructions/Model_2120/index.htm and near the bottom of the page, you will see the schematic. Although the instruction page shows our Model 2120 board, the wiring can also be used with the 2040
thank you very mach again
guys if i would like to but more switches than 20 like 62 if i buy 4 generators then i would have prombles with the buttons because they would be the same number? please answer me!!!!
+Costantinos Theodoulou - Hi, There will be no problems with connecting more then one 2040 board to the same computer. Each board has a unique serial number. This is how the computer keeps track on all the boards connected
+DTA34613 thank you man for answer me goodnight! !!!
nice tutorial... very well explained. Thanks
+Ray J Thank you for posting your thoughts on RUclips
mark binnion can that board be used for driving simulators
mark binnion as long as they recognize joysticks
Does anyone know where these guys are located in the U.S?
Alex Scott Florida USA
Does this work only with Fsx or can I use it for other games too?

***** Hi Alex, on May 1, 2015, Desktop Aviator will be offering the KBD01, keyboard emulator board. It supports push buttons, toggle switches, rotary encoder switches ect. The Software Utility and Instruction Booklet can be downloaded from: www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_KBD01/index.htm
does it work with a two-pole switch?
Sorry, No. The 2120 is for spst toggle switches. For a 2-pole switch (spdt), you would need our Model 2160. It can be found HERE: www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_2160-2170/index.htm
thanks :)
Hi mate, I so sorry, but I should like to say, how to connect the wires to the Tailhook, because is there a lot of wires on Tailhook . Thank you.
Hi Sir, Yes, the software is "Flight Simulator X + VRS Super Hornet" Thank you mate.
Then there should be no problem. Using either the FSX flight functions SETTINGs window or FSUIPC. All you need do is to press the button wired to any of the inputs of the 2120 board and associate it to the desired function. That's it!
Hi mate, I purchased a board 2120 and a Tailhook from The Simulator Store, but I dont know how to connect, can you help me?
Hi, Nice to hear from you. I do not have a copy of this flight simulator, so I need to ask you a question; does the software require keyboard inputs to control flight functions? Or are Joysticks supported?
how cost the 2120 pluse generator?
Hi, Nice to hear from you. The cost of the 2120 is $38.00usd + appropriate shipping fees
thanks !
Hi! Before I buy this I would like to know if it will work in ProSim so that I can use it with the rest of my cockpit stuff? Thanks.
Hi, It is difficult if not impossible to test all of DTA circuit boards and Panels with every flight sim program out there. With that said, I downloaded a copy of ProSim at: ProSim737_beta_manual-08-21-2012.pdf. Page 24 indicates that ProSim accepts Joystick cards thus joystick button inputs. All DTA cards and panels are "seen" by the computer as a Joystick input. So it is safe to say that DTA boards are compatible with ProSim Software. Bobby B.
Do the colers of the wire matter? I'm looking to make a 737 over head panel. But I have no experiance with wires or soldering please explain!
The color of the wires really do not have any effect on the circuit board; but using wires of different color can make it a bit easier if you need to troubleshoot a problem with the setup in the future. But I do recommend using AWG #28 or #30 STRANDED wire. Solid wire can cause problems if you bent them too much it breaks way too easily. STRANDED is the better choice because it can be bent a number of times without causing breakage.
DTA34613 I use cable speaker wire (13 strand) which is cheap at 14 quid for 100m from Tool Station - as there only a negligible current being carried, it works well and is considerably cheaper than other electrical wiring
al co Seeing that all DTA circuit boards and Panels make use of the USB Port's 5VDC the wire size really does not matter
Hey DTA34613, tnx mate.
Hello mate, Can I use this card to toggle switches, encoders and buttons?
Hi, This card, the 2120, can be used only with Toggle Switches. It you need Rotary Encoder support, my I suggest our Model 2090 or 2095A board. For Push Buttons, you would need our Model 2040. You can see all these boards at DesktopAviator.com
Usually #24 stranded wire is a good choice
Does anyone know what wire to use for the toggle switch and female connector?
hey you still selling these?.....2120 or do you have a newer model cause i noticed this vid is 5 yrs. old.
Yes, they still sell these. I just had my 2120 delivered to my house.
great thanks for the help now i know i can get started with my cockpit...
hello is that it can work on euro truck simulator 2 and other simulation games
Hi, I'm not familiar with euro truck sim, but all of our boards were designed to be "seen" by your computer as a joystick input. So if euro truck makes use of joystick button inputs for driving functions the 2120 will work just fine.
DTA34613 thinks you
