First post. I’m in love with this sim on PS5 Pro. It looks amazing and the frame rate is so smooth! I can’t remember all of the button combos though, so I have to pause every time I need to make a change to lookup the buttons to use. Ideally I’d like to have a screen with custom switches and labels so I don’t have to remember anything. AFAIK such a product does not exist for Playstation, so I created one.
I purchased a touch screen from china, an Arduino, relays, and a PS5 controller on eBay with a stick drift problem (cheap). I stripped out the mainboard from the controller so nothing is attached, connected a trim pot to the axis with stick drift to solve that problem, and soldered wires to all of the button signals. Connected those wires to relays, connected the relays to the Arduino, and then the touch screen to the Arduino. ChatGPT did most of the programming for me. Now I can have as many pages of switches that I want, each one dedicated to a purpose, like autopilot, or trims. The switch images can be customized as well. Everything can be customized. I couldn’t use L2 or R2 but I have access to all of the other buttons, giving me a total of 66 two button combos. After a while I may transition to a physical switch panel, after I determine how many total switches I would really use, and the ideal layout.
EDIT: The second controller is enabled as an “assist” controller in Playstation settings. That’s how I use two controllers at once.
