i did this without watching your videos and somehow youtube is now showing me your videos. maybe they must have caught me searching switches on google. now, i'm stuck here watching all your videos cos they are interesting. good job
I've been thinking about installing a key ignition on my fanatec wheel and put some led lights inside the wheelbase, so when I turn the key to ACC on the led's light up inside then when I hit the ignition the wheel will power up and calibrate. You've inspired me to get it done
For everyone who have a problem with both button signals activating I have a simple solution. I've heard that white is negative and blue is positive. So if the current (or if you want to be precise the free electrons) flows from + to -, than you need to: 1. connect two blue wires to the battery terminal 2. connect one white wire to the ignition terminal 3. connect the second white wire to the start terminal (or in other words just flip the colors) The problem of connecting two white wires to the battery teminal is once you activate the ignition terminal the current flows from ingnition to battery terminal to which are both white wires connected. This results in completing the circuit on both connections which you can see on your computer as the activation of both buttons. So if you connect two blue wires to the battery terminal as I suggested the signal process should look like this: 1) When you activate ignition terminal the current flows only to the one white wire so only one button signal is activated 2) When you activate the start terminal the current in theory should flow to the start teminal which only activates the second button. However, insted you'll probably see both buttons activated. This happens because the ignition terminal is still activated even when you turn the key to the start position. This doesn't affect the gameplay, though. You've already activated the ignition so all you need to do is start the motor (in real car the ignition turns on the electronics which are needed during the whole drive while the starter is needed only in the begining, that's why the ignition is on even in the start position). When you want to turn off the motor you just turn the key again to the start position and than you turn it all the way back untill you can take it away. It's that simple. If you don't believe me (a high scholer who studies physics and chemistry) than you can try something else but I'm 100% sure this will work.
@@AmillionCoyeah theres a couple 5v ports on the board, theyre red. just use the whiten blue wires and plug it in. you'll have to connect the wires to your led tho, and if thats not possible then you may be out of ur depth. good luck.
Thanks a lot, but I found out I have to disconnect one of the cable to config the correct setting each of the time for engine start / power on even I filpped the blue and white
this might be the clearest DIY button box video ever. Good job and thank you! Also thank you for resisting the temptation to waffle on for 15 minutes about nothing and just getting on with it!
Legend. Thank you so mutch. I orderd my parts for my summer project button box yesterday. Using that usb encoder. I could find any good video's of conecting the wires. Thank you so much!
Pro tip. Do not go zero delay usb unless your using this for one thing only. And even then I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s an absolute nightmare to configure when you have multiple sims and wheels and multiple keyboards etc. Arduino is the way. I learned the hard way.
i was watching this so i can build one for american truck simulator, i was wondering, is it possible to have it function like a normal ignition switch? i dont want to tap it twice just to start it, Acc for Acc, Spring action to start like normal car?
Ok. Second Video I have viewed. Just realised you do all simulator setup tutorials! You are just what I have been looking for. You have gained a sub from me!
Do you think it would be possible to wire up the gauges from that bmw to the accessories spot? So that when u turn the key it like flashes all the lights n stuff like a real car?
The quality of the videos and the gadgets you make for sim games is amazing. I know you subscriber count isn’t that low but you still deserve a higher sub and view count. Keep it up.👍🏻👌🏻
So the First position(latching before momentary) on the Key switch does not activate the electronics? You still have to 1st turn the momentary then 2nd turn to start engine?
if you mapped ignition to the accessory on the key switch, could it then work like a normal car as the first click will initiate the ignition and the the turn of the key as the starter?
Askari I literally started my PC with a triangle. I put one wire from the "on switch" on the triangle, and the other wire (just one power cable that's been cut) on the striking stick. When I rang the triangle, my PC turned on 😂😂 I've also used a stapler. Honestly
atomed2 Hahaha thanks mate 😂👍 you just need anything metal to close the circuit temporarily. But it must open again or you'll have a "forced shutdown". I was thinking of all sorts of funny things to use hehe It happened because my power button broke, I wondered what I could use as a button. The stapler came first hehe
You can map ACC to any input. If you use it, I'd suggest the radio menu if you play American Truck Simulator. Connect it the same as the other two functions. Power to batt, input to function.
72 datsun truck, same switch in video, but you didn’t explain which wires go where? I’m trying to figure mine out. When I hook up a battery, the starter runs and I know it’s not supposed to. I disconnected the solenoid (weird spelling I looked it up, don’t agree) and it stops running. I was told the ignition switch is bad, but I see the wires aren’t hooked up as you have it....?
I had done this a while ago but never thought about the push button start great video as always!! ☺️ edit; could you do a video of how to wire up 4 axis potentiometer joysticks.
I'm trying to do something like this for a flight simulator, mainly what I want to do is find a switch that has five posistions. I can't find a key switch - will anything else work?
My 2007 Toyota fielder NZE 141G is giving me headaches. It's push start button. The motherboard to the remote control is messed up. Thanks for the information.
Hello I've previously made a button box with a usb joystick encoder and I looking to add a joystick potentiometer to it, I am looking on help on how to wire it up to the usb joystick encoder if that is possible.
i was wondering, this usb joystick encoder is used in more than one project i wanna do. When i connect them all my pieces with different usb joystick encoders, those will work separately and be recognized by the pc or i can only use 1?
Can I use this but turn the key to turn on my pc? Since the case of the pc comes with a button to power it. Is there some way to use this setup as an alternative?
@@amstudioprojects Thanks! I actually made my own button box over the weekend using this video as a guide. I got the ignition/starter working with ACC and RRRE. 😀
Any details on the toggle switch? can't find a SPST with momentary. there's all eaither on or off. all I can find is momentary SPDT. assuming a safty cover wouldn't work on a SPDT as it would put the switch in the on position for the second function.
I love this project and going to do it myself but the encoreder I got doesn't have blue wires just red and black then the white one is a 5pin how would I wire that scenario? Thanks
Am you kinda messed up. You use the blue connector on bigger wires and red on smaller, you had it backwards and could have the issue of the wire falling out. I can forgive you cause your the best!
I don't understand how the push button for ATS is functional. How is it that a short press is turning on accessories and the long press is starting the engine?
i uesd your videos for making a key switch starter, but now i want to do this: i want to have lights come on on my button box when i hit either respective left turn or right turn can someone help or know how to accomplish this?

I love those little USB boards, super simple and cheap and no-fuss in the function.
amstudio in the future: Add a real inline 6 engine in the front of your sim setup mod. XD
You're giving him ideas. xD
Lol
That would be insane but what about a v6 vtec
HAHAHAHA
Obviously not!
It would be a V8.
Thank you so much for saving me $100 on a pre built Button Box. Just finished mine today and it's perfect.
$100? more like $250
I didn't know i've needed this. Awesome
and with your teachings i can now build myself a nice sim setup that can be 100% custom. thank you good sir!
You can build a whole frcking car tbh
some dude behind a computer .
This channel is the only one I trust when it comes to: Custom wheel, custom shifter, Etc. they are so helpful!
Not gonna lie if I had this as my power button for my pic that would be lit
That's what I want to do
You could make it wireless with an Arduino Uno and wake on lan!
I want this as a bower button for my gaming pc setup, anyone can help me with that?
dennis smit wire it to an arduino with a wifi module and then make it wake on lan
dennis smit it’s really easy using arduino.
This makes me wish I had a farm sim simulator setup as that would be so cool
JWB Agri Videos with an alen wrench for the ignition?
I mean just having this in general on your desk would be cool

Hi there I'm super thankful for this tutorial. it worked for me along with another wire from the Ign to Acc. keep up the good work 👍
This is just what I was looking for, thank you for an awesome video as always! :D
i would 100% use this as my desk button box for powering on my pc and speakers and maybe a lamp
With a spanner! Love the accent haha, and great video as always.

It's a coincidence that I've got that exact key barrel on my way, should be arriving tomorrow (after waiting 2 weeks on postage)
I like this diy because its no extra software and its also cheap and theres also no extra tools if you choose the key ignition
Your videos are just the great greetings from Germany
TurnwoodLP weißt du wie man das mit der Box macht, ist das genauso wie bei der 32 Knöpfe Button Box?
das ist ziemlich gleich LG
TurnwoodLP danke wollte hier das bauen mit ein paar Knöpfen dazu
Der Kanal hier wird mich noch eine ganze menge Geld kosten ..
UnbegLueckt ich sag nur das neuste Video, die Handbremse, das hier zsm mit der Button box
Just got a Logitech G920 and pedals and I’m getting this just to mount to my desk to start cars and I am not a I racing guy but I love this stuff
hey man, did ypu buy it? In case of yes, which games is it compatible with?
Use the switch and button for nitrous or suspension!!!
LUIGY 99 ricer
Lil Kachowski How is he a ricer if he has nitrous?
Nitrous isn’t a real thing
Wym nitrous isnt real?
Nitrous isn’t a thing in real life it’s just in games
Do you think it would be possible to wire up the gauges from that bmw to the accessories spot? So that when u turn the key it like flashes all the lights n stuff like a real car?
Yeah, its posible, ive done It (i know, late).pin 16 on blue middle socket is ignition pin :)

really cool, I got to adapt the key switch as the main power start for my pc now. . . .
Very helpful as I somehow bought the exact same ignition.
Hey Amstudio, can you expand on the switch’s positions with the key and what they do actually? Thank you
@amstudio can you make a video on how to make a keyed ignition for the side of a Logitech g920
Kind of like in an old jeep
Soooo, how do you put this (I'm mainly focusing on the engine start/stop button, as I'm gonna use this for ETS2) into your 32 function button box?
How do you set it up in game cause I’m only getting one thing so I can’t put one with the electricity, and the next one on the start
I would never have thought about something like this! Really cool idea!
I'm definitly gonna make this.
Hi i have a doubt ¿i can use only one Joystick Encoder for make this sim button box and the mod for the logitech shifter mod 18 speeds?
Whats the ignition key tip please is link broken
Will this work for Xbox or PlayStation
Can you please make a video where you use the same motherboard for the other button box
If I want to use all the terminals do I connect the white wire to every ground
Here is my next project, thanx! Love all the mods, keep 'em commin'
So the First position(latching before momentary) on the Key switch does not activate the electronics? You still have to 1st turn the momentary then 2nd turn to start engine?
I don't know why but I love the idea of starting a pc with a key turn like that

Love your videos, good quality and easy to remember
I just got my own Logitech g920, and soon I will make some of your mods
Keep the good work going
This would be cool to have as a startup for your pc. you could possibly fit it in the cd drive slot if you dont have one.

Do you have a link to the box you printed for the last clip in the video with the toggle and push button?
Can i cut the wire with simple scissors or i must have the wire cutter?
I there a way I could add a dial for changing the radio or other things similar. If so how would I do it?
How many usbs do u have on ur pc
Would the ignition Button also work if its an fliplever wich isnt momentary?
is there any settings outside the game first?, so that it can be used in the game. or can it be directly set in the game?
Awesome but if I want to use accessories then I just need to use another blue cable right?

Sir what kind of joystick board I can use? What do you suggest to be handy and good. Thanks
Check the description links there for the board.
Can I make this with more Buttons with the same encoder? And without any software?
Yes you can add more buttons, no software needed with these encoders
Do I need 2 usb joystick encoders to use the key ignition, momentary toggle switch and engine start button?
This is actually really easy to do! Thanks for sharing! Great video :)
Could you wire up the acc terminal so that when the key is turned it will activate? or would it not work great?
Does the key ignition need to be 5v? Because all of the key ignitions I find, are all 12v
(Sorry for bad englisch)
Great video! Thanks for sharing. What game is that? It's hard to find a racing sim that actually lets you cold start the engine.
Assetto Corsa Competizione
@@amstudioprojects Thanks! I actually made my own button box over the weekend using this video as a guide. I got the ignition/starter working with ACC and RRRE. 😀

I don't understand how the push button for ATS is functional. How is it that a short press is turning on accessories and the long press is starting the engine?
it's apart of the game, that's all
@sinkzscs there is no way for the game to identify the difference between and short or long press.
excellent as always, thank you so much for sharing!
