Are these available for purchase now or is there a wait?

Acuracl · 08-02-2006, 10:59 PM

its available for sale, but he is currently on vacation and should be back in 2 weeks.

AlCapone · 08-15-2006, 06:58 AM

I am back, and ready to recieve orders now

BlackStealth · 08-15-2006, 07:20 AM

Paypal payment sent.

AlCapone · 08-15-2006, 08:32 AM

thanks. I've alredy recieved the automatic email from paypal.

BlackStealth · 08-20-2006, 11:45 PM

So can I assume it's been shipped already?

AlCapone · 08-21-2006, 07:13 AM

yes it is, and trancking # s in your email

please keep private conversation with me private using email

Sold my CarButtons, thanks everyone.

would this product be suitable for my buttons? this is what i have...

- when button 1 is depressed, a short circuit exists between pins 2 and 1
- when button 2 is depressed, a short circuit exists between pins 3 and 1
- when button 3 is depressed, a short circuit exists between pins 1, 2 and 3.

i'd like to map each button to a keyboard shortcut and if possible i'd like to also map a long depress of a button to a keyboard shortcut. does girder let me do this?

yes, you can use my interface.
even using only one channel:

connect "1" to my devices "ground" , connect "2" to one channel using a resistor (example: 1K Ohm) , connect "3" to the same channel using another resistor (example: 2K Ohm).

Yes, Girder can do "anything", including sending keystrokes/macros or even better, control software using WM commands.

If you buy my device, I will add the resistors and a simple schematic for you for free (so you see what I tried to describe above)

Regards.

Hey Andre,

I don't think it will work that way actually. There is a diode between pins 1 and 2 and a diode between pins 1 and 3 going in that direction on the circuitboard in my button unit. Is there another way for me to hook up my unit to your device? perhaps connect pin 1 to 5v rather than ground?

AlCapone · 09-22-2006, 12:28 AM

could you draw it ? and send me as i picture ?
Diode is not necessary a problem, and we could use two channels, not only one.

$93 for $0.93 in parts... very lucrative. The most expensive part of that device is the shipping cost.

I would like to see you get all the parts and a pic programmer for close to $0.93, and i guess the time he took to design the interface is worth nothing too. You should really keep comments like that to yourself. especially since he released the schematic to build it yourself.
