    Hey guys,

    I've stumbled over an issue when wiring up my BU0836A. It seems that the diagram provided on leo's website does not correlate with what button activates when shorting the rows and columns, has anyone else had this issue. Also for some reason most of the row/column combinations activate 2 buttons, one when pushing the button down, and one when releasing the button ( in the case of a push to make switch). Any advice?

    Also, my SLI-M has developed a strange issue. I've only hooked up 2 switches, for upshifting and downshifting, and every now and then, it randomly triggers a downshift ( once in every 3-5minutes) I'm wondering if this could be down to the servo wire I used, or the usb extention? Strangely enough it never triggers a random upshift.

    Can anyone recommend some gd guage wire to use and whether shielded wire is overkill?

    Will post some pics up of my rig shortly

    Did you already ask Leo Bodnar for support? As developer of the interface he should be able to help you the best.

    Please show us more details about your screen, which software you use for edge blending and distortion correction of the picture, whats the size of t? Its really looking good and very immersive due to the enormous size.

    Hi Raceray,

    Yes I emailled leo quite a few times but haven't got any replies :(

    The software is warpalizar, which enabled me to do both edge blending and distortion correction. Screen has a radius of 2 metres and an arc length of 6 metres. Its pretty immersive when at the centre. Now just thinking of a way to incoporate tensioning belts on deceleration as it feels alittle cut off, any ideas?

    Thanks

    Julian
