Hi Builders,
This USB was used with a pluging with XP 11. It would nice, to use it now with MSFS, but it’s only detected as usb composite device. I have bo clue how to change it. Nice would be as button-box oder joystick.
Any idears?
You could try MobiFlight (free), they have a very active Discord channel
The device is not recognised, by these tools. I tried it with spad.next and Lorby aao and mobiflight. The X-Plane commands seems to be assigned internaly to the buttons.
i assume you can take off the board from the back. connect a arduino mega instead and use it with mobiflight. you can also try with a smaller arduino like the pro micro. but then you will need a multiplexer.
So the mega embed 2560 is probably your most convenient option
Ok. I mean you can test with a multi meter whether all buttons and encoder pins end up on the board socket. you need 21 connections. i would not expect that buttons are multiplexed. but i am not sure if the teensy3.2 has that many pins. I will have to check that.
So if you can confirm that then you can simply connect an arduino that is supported by mobiflight and assign all functions to the different buttons and encoders.
it has 23 plus the ones on the back so i think this should work. Unfortunately I have not ported Mobiflight to the Teensy Board platform yet. But the embed Mega are 12$.
Which Arduino should I buy?
they are called Arduino Mega Pro Mini 2560

Yes. What a pity that they got quite expensive during the last year. I remember when arduinos were like 13€.
Tell me about it. A while back, I was getting 3 packs of Nanos on amazon.ca for $15 Cdn. Now they’re $15 Cdn EACH for the same ones from the same seller, or $40 for a 3 pack.
Bro, you’re one of a kind. I’ve been looking for someone who have the same board, since I’ve screwed up the teensy trying to change its commands (same as you’re trying to do) and now I urgently need its original
HEX to restore it to its defaults. Can you send it to me? I’ll gladly appreciate it.
I can share my 3D printed bezel I’ve created with you, so you can add an HDMI monitor and play with it.
Thank you in advance.

Looks great, would you care to share the stl files?
That’s exactly what I need. 
The buttons from Teensy are multiplexed, so I’m breaking the board PCB and will remove all the common pins, to connect them directly to individual inputs in Arduino instead of teensy, and route the pins thru Simvimx or MobiFlight

Oh, I misunderstood. I were talking about the .INO or .HEX files.
You meant the 3D files.
Sure, why not?
I just need to do some adjustments since the LCD monitor came today and is not matching some dimensions with the actual printed version.
