Tutorial Mjoy16 USB AVR Joystick

Thanks Sokol !
The last layout was designed very professionaly. How ever can you place a 2x10 IDC Connector Like below into the layout for the Rows and Columns ? I will be very thankful if you can design your own matrix board which can connect to this board using that connector containing all the 1N4148 diodes for the switches. Thank you very much for what you are doing here.

Here are the pictures of the IDC Connector and the cable.

Like original Mindaugas layout, but with 20 pin connector instead 40?



Too much trials... :?

Sokol1

Yes Sokol ! That's what I'm talkin' about ! I don't know why Mindaugas used a 40 pins connector while 20 of them are being used. Anyway thank you Sokol ! You are a great designer :clap:

So I'm looking to hear from you about your own Matrix board

Thanks in advance

P.S. please upload the .lay file too :hi:

Not finished, but the idea is a matrix board with same dimensions of Mjoy16.
Then, you can mount the matrix over Mjoy16 - the mounting holes are coincident.

Thanks Sokol !
As I already have said, you are a great designer :clap:
Can't wait to see the final version.

Keep the good job going buddy

Mohsen,

Here the .LAY for Mjoy16 with 20x2 pin connector and for Matrix board, 85x85mm each.

Matrix according to Mindaugas scheme:



Collumn > Diode > Switch > Row

Sokol1

Thank you very much Sokol ! :clap:
Goin' to build this soon. :yippiee:

I've created the pdf ( Scale 1.0:1.0 ).

hi frakk

the board based on your design

thanks a lot for your support components soldering is on will post on completion

Hello. I have some simple questions about Mjoy:

Is the printer (or serial) connection only for programming the controller?, and does it use only USB when you use it as a game controller?

Does the parts list you find on the wiki page match the new design posted here? (or is there a updated list?)

Thats all! Fred

Fred, you are correct. The printer port is only for programming, after that you will only use the USB. Alternatively the 10pin ISP header can be used with proper off the shelf programmers. I don't know what the wiki page lists, but the parts are marked on the pcb silkscreen. I am posting an updated schematic with all the diodes in place. I will make a full writeup, partslist, and the necessary pictures once I get my board made. Until then, please use the updated layouts: Copper13.5x8.5.pdf Position13.5x8.5.pdf

Chandran, I sent you the new board and you made the old one It's ok, I'll help you fix it once you get it programmed.

Mjoy Encoders made by Polish guys - add on board do Mjoy16 (or another USB card), to allow control over more eight encoders.

Mjoy-Encoder To Mjoy connector plug into 16 buttons positions of Mjoy16 Keymatrix.

So you can use this board to plug encoder in non encoder compatible card like previous 12/07 BU0836, Mjoy(ATMEGA8)...

As double face PCB with .3m trial between pads is difficult to do with TONER method I draw a single layer version:



And find a good use for extra +5v connector in Frakk Mjoy16 PCB: power Mjoy-Encoders board (This can be done also through USB connector). :thbup:

Sokol1

Hi sokol

Here's a USB 2.0 10 bit joystick I think it similar to BU0836 can you check n confirm

link - http://artjoy.narod.ru/eng/index_eng.html These are based on MCU pic18f2550.

can you send me the single layer pcb file for encoder

regards
chandran

Hi Chandran

I see this Artjoy - but seems a unfinished project - too few buttons...

In this racing forum another PIC based project for 6 axis, HAT and 32 buttons:

http://www.xtremeracers.info/forums/vie ... =45&t=5696

Another PIC board - no axis, buttons (64) and four encoders:

http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?t=277873

Here, the single layer layout for Mjoy-ENCODERS - to view an print use include Viewlayout50 - print only C2 layer:

Sokol1

Sokol1, hi, i´m was thinking in publishing my design of 6 axis 10 bit controller here but you won me, thank you.
I´m very hapy you think this controller i have done is usefull.
If there is any question, please let me know.

I´m also thinking in translate the toturial, but it will take time.

Saludos.

Hi Willynovi,

Well, make a specific tread for your project, once he uses a different microcontroller.

:thbup:

Sokol1

Ok Sokol1, it took me some time to translate the ingo in english.

Hello everybody. Hello Sokol, Hello Willinovy. :hi:
This is my first post on X-Sim...

I have no idea about electronics but I will try to do a Mjoy16 with all documentation i have found on this thread.

Before, I need to ask you a little question. Reading all this thread until here I have found what seems different versions of Mjoy16:
two from Senetor, one from FranKK, another from tronicgr, or powernet.pl...

Are all the same? or maybe some one of this have corrections?

Which one I have to use to try to build my first Mjoy16 (with keymatrix integrated)??
Maybe I have missed something to read, but my English is not on the top... :

Thanks a lot... :thbup:

Hello crobol!

I am making a write-up and a how-to guide to make my version of the Mjoy16-C1. I will include pictures and the total description of what to do and how to solder the all-in one controller and matrix board. I will also provide the files and the original manual from Mindaugas.

Just hang in there, and I'll post it as soon as possible!

Thank you very much. Is great to share this with the comunity.

This controller is perfect for flight sims like IL2 cause a lot of butons, switches, axis and encoders.... :clap:

Hi there Sokol,

Can the MJoyEncoder connect either to USB or to the MJoy?

Regards,
George
