Note you don't need this, if you drill a hole for the USB in the case. Make sure it fits between the Arduino's header pins, as shown above. I used some scrap 9mm acrylic that worked fine.

(If you can't find this or want to use something else, just modify the code to accommodate for what you have got).ġx Spacer material - this is used to support the Arduino. Make sure that both switches are momentary, the main button is normally closed and the secondary button is normally open. To build this project, you will need the following: (NB - there are notes on the above images)ģx Female to male jumper cables - You can opt to use normal wire instead for the all jumpers, but more soldering will be required - solder the wires to the Arduino's holes rather than soldering in headers later on.ġx Female to female jumper cable - Not illustrated but similar to pictured above resistor on attached photos.ġx Arduino Micro (Make sure it uses the Atmega 32u4 - also used on Arduino Leonardo)ġx Button panel - Just search for 'button station'.
So, with that out he way, on with the build. This project has been published 'as is' and therefore I accept no responsibility for any loss or damage. It can also be built for under £20 (GBP).
This button can be applied to other titles, with little modification of the code you can send any ASCII keyboard character to your game. Therefore the red button launches/stages the rocket and the green toggles between maximum and minimum throttle. Currently, every time the red button is pressed it sends a space and every time the green button is pressed, it toggles between sending an x or a z. It works by emulating a keyboard and sending different characters to the game when each button is pressed.
It is a control panel with two buttons: a main launch button (red) and a smaller (green) throttle toggle that interface to the computer via an Arduino. This is where the launch button comes in. However, using the keyboard and all the shortcuts can be tricky if you have to do many things at a time. If you have ever played Kerbal Space Program, you will know the satisfaction of building a rocket and launching it into the realm of space.
#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM CONTROLS LAUNCH HOW TO#
Welcome to my tutorial on how to build a physical button to interact with Kerbal Space Program! Please Note: it is recommended you play the training missions in the main menu before continuing as I will not explain basic controls and how to launch a rocket.
