I created a micro site for the build of my USB-BOB Control kit with more details

That looks great. I have ordered a joystick to play around with. I like that idea quite a bit. I have a micro-controller board in my upcoming build that can do the analog to pulses conversions. Any "gotchas" I should watch out for when writing the code? I suppose a good resistance dead-zone in the ...

I'll check into what a small batch of interface boards would run.

There are a few parameters for the analog joystick which may need to be configured in the micro-processor based on application.

The dead-zone - center range of joystick movement which will produce no movement - this would likely ...

I wish analoge Joystick support would be built in...

Thanks.

After working with adding the analog joystick over the past few months with the RPi and Arduino, I don't think analog joystick control could be incorporated within the current USB-BOB board design without significant effort ...

If you referring to the Aux Pin4 of each MPG connector on the BOB circuit board, they are not connected to anything on the board.

I am using one of mine as a terminal connector for two circuits as shown in the photo below.

If you set up the Avid Touch Plate and change the dimensions to match your plate in the Wizard it should work fine.

If touching off a corner and setting X-Y-Z, the Z will probe in the center of the touch plate. It will be up to you to make sure that your bit is in the correct location for touching ...

The executive decision process has been working fine. IMO it is more expedient than decisions by committee or consensus, as long as it is done by a qualified individual or team. I consider Keith qualified.

Perhaps an interim stage for upgrades would be to export settings for tool database/tool ...

As I understand it, short answer is "no"
Long answer is: You can use a microcontroller to read the analog joystick values and convert them to quadrature signals you connect at the BOB handwheel inputs? (bonus: add handwheel inputs)
Sounds like a feature request @centroid.
I really liked the ...

I am going to look again at why my Bluetooth option suddenly stopped working. It was working flawlessly, then suddenly started asking for username and password to access the shared folder. As a newbie... I tend to make changes in Fusion as I work on a project, so sharing files in this fashion is a ...
