[simpits-tech] Momentary Toggle switches

[Rick Davis]

Very nice work Jim. That is a lot of work.

And thanks for Un-Lurking! ha.

This one doesn't seem to have input for Axis. Just switches? (I could have 
missed something)

Not that Axis matters, because I will be using stand alone (perhaps built 
in - but USB) Yoke and pedals, BUT,

I want something which will allow me to use real switches in a panel for 
things like, Lights, Fuel Pump, Batteries etc. All those single lever toggle 
or rocker switches as keyboard strokes in X-Plane. I would also like the 
ability to incorporate the Trim wheel, as well as Autplilot, Heading , VS, 
controls etc. (with pots(Axis?))

Is this possible with this unit?

Rick
