oh, ill have to check it out, thanks! i was only thinking of having ten songs on the wheel anyway.

the origin of this project was a "drink'o'matic" machine some friends made, where you spun a wheel and the machine automatically made the drink the wheel stopped on. was really a quite cool machine, it held six or seven types of liqueour, and a couple of sodas. the machine wasnt properly made though, so it broke down after a few weeks use, and they have since abandoned the wheel-function of it for just buttons, but then we figured out we had to use the wheel for something:)

so im heading down to check out how they made the wheel function tomorrow, hopefully there was a genious solution to it:P

Maybe not, if it broke... :)

Most of the problems I see with home-made wheels is people just put a bolt through the wheel as an axle.  You'll need a good bearing in the middle to hold up to all that spinning.

I need to tinker with the input for DOSCab/WinCab Jukebox anyway, so the next version will support up to either 26 or 36 single-key inputs.

I wonder if I could add a drink'o'matic to my cab.

argh, i checked the wheel out, and they had cheated and gone the easy way. you can spin the wheel, but you have to push a button after the wheel stops. that way you only get one signal to the computer. but i want to make it so when the wheel stops, in automagically sends the corresponding signal to the computer...
