Description

The Leo Bodnar BU0836A (LB-204) is a small USB joystick interface board with pin header connectors to connect buttons, potentiometers, sensors, rotary encoders and switches to a PC or Mac. Build your own gaming device, whether it be a flight panel, button box, pedals, joystick, robot controls and more......the list is limited by your imagination. Also suitable for converting gameport devices or connecting real life controls to turn them into a USB device suitable to be used by almost any simulation or game software without the need of installing any drivers. Inputs 8 analog inputs with 12-bit (4096 steps) resolution each 32 button / 16 rotary encoder inputs 8-way "point-of-view" hat switch input Dimensions Length 2.2" | 55 mm Width 1.25" | 32 mm Height 0.57" | 14.6 mm Recommended Wire Size 24 AWG to 20 AWG Mounting Screw Hole Size M2.5 | #3-56 - do not enlarge the mounting holes The PCB has a standard USB B type connector for connection to PC or Mac. No drivers are required. Plug it in and use straight away. ---- BU0836A-NC (LB-219) is the low profile (no connector) version without the pin headers or USB socket. Solder directly to the board or add you own pin headers (2.54 mm pitch) where required. Height 0.22" | 5.6 mm ---- BU0836A Matrix Board (LB-274) is an add-on board that provides an easy matrix circuit for the BU0836A Diodes are already wired on the back of the board. Simple connection of buttons and encoders. Allows the use of more than 12 buttons easily and without any external diodes. Supplied with connecting socket that plugs into BU0836A and two rows of pin headers. Designed to mount directly on top of the BU0836A board, includes a cut out for the analogue axis. Alternatively, can be attached to BU0836A with 12 way cable. 32 simultaneously active button inputs. Last 4 contacts make up 8-direction point-of-view hat (coolie) switch. Ideal for compact switch panels. This board works with BU0836A (12 bit) USB controller boards. The full height of this board with a BU0836A board is 26mm including the pins on the underside of the board.
