OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been searching forever to try and find a way to hook up a on-off-on momentary switch. I couldn't get it to work because I was wiring the middle pin to ground. No tutorials I found were able to be of any help. Did you have to use any switching diodes or resistors? Would you be able to do a video on how you coded it in Arduino?
It’s almost trucking season. I like to mess around with it at Christmas. I should have some code somewhere. But I used someone else’s project. It wasn’t too difficult.
Here's my code: gist.github.com/pastorhudson/e6f85bb7a2d153047115ca50f0c64b45 Here's the video for the code I used: ruclips.net/video/Z7Sc4MJ8RPM/видео.html
I'm not sure that it actually has to stay on in a joystick application. . . I don't think it's staying on using this library. To make it "sticky" then you'll want to track the button press and toggle the value of a variable then set the status based on the variable. The trick is to handle debouncing. When you press a momentary button it might actually get triggered 5-15 times or more. So you need to handle that too. . . You want to look for code for a "latching button" forum.arduino.cc/t/button-latching/321499/5
@@pastorhudson If I post my Photoshop project, would you be able to take a look at it. Logically I pretty much matched what you did. just to see if I got the diagram down. Obviously physical box isn't going to look remotely like the logical project.
I really loved this video since it has the ignition. But I did not understand teh terminals you used since it has start, acc, batt, and ignition. I would love to use this design but I dont know how to include the ignition key. If you can share the printed model with all buttons with their respective connected terminals, I would appreciate. Am new in this and I would like to challenge myself to complete this button box. Thank you for the good work
I put my multi-meter in continuity mode. Then operate the ignition key switch to see which pins have continuity when it is turned. There are probably multiple positions depending on your key. You will set this up just like a momentary switch. Unfortunately this means starting the truck is really cool, but turning it off means turning the key to the start position because ATS didn't have separate key bindings last I messed with it. I hope that helps.
"It's much easier to do it with a mechanical keyboard. You simply solder the wires from the letters you're going to use to a momentary push-open button. For the power key, I use a desk drawer key; one wire goes to the cylinder and the other makes contact when passing twelve o'clock. This is because the key in the off position is at 9 o'clock and in the on position is at 3 o'clock."
My only question (all my parts are on the way) is software ? Not concerned with building or wiring but what do people use for software ? So little info online that is clear about this.
Ok the ignition switch (already built mine with zero delay usb and didn’t like the hassle so I’m re doing it with a pro micro) I’m just not clear on how to wire the ignition ? I have plenty of space so I plan to do it on its own two pins. Do I do battery to ground , acc to a pin , and ign to a pin ? Or do I not need to run batt to ground ?
I'm fixing to start on the hard part of building a button box and was wondering if you could/would be willing to help guide me thru it. I am pretty far in the deep end of the pool as far as my electronics knowledge goes so im partially treading water here
I understand that you are a Pastor. Could you make a video that explains your viewpoint on Christians using technology to glorify God. This could be video games, drones, chatGPT.
What a cool thought! I’ve talked about this in my sermons at times. Our creator created us to be co-creators. God has tasked us with building this world. And the act of creating can be worship. Making music, woodworking, writing, and yes soldering, writing code, laying out circuits is all worship when we do it from a place of joyful curiosity and love for God and our neighbor. Making random things that I want to build also shows me my limitations. It causes me to seek others help, and it keeps me curious.
@@pastorhudson Thank Ron for your quick response. I have been using chatGPT to put together daily Bible studies. I also have started sharing my faith while recording ATS videos. It is good to see other Christians doing the same kind of thing.
That’s really cool! Just be careful to double check the output. Sometimes chat gpt will hallucinate especially when it comes to quotes and references. But it’s a great tool.

try timelapse and a tripod for soldering next time maybe? would love to see some of the work there looks awesome. no sound necessary

Oh I really like the desk drawer key idea!
Brilliant video, thank you so much. Did you ever get the CB working?
Not yet. I've been messing with drones lol. But I'll get around to it.

@@pastorhudson I have found that AI hallucination rate is much lower when it is dealing with spiritual content.
