New product: GP-Wiz40 - GroovyGameGear
(1/3) > >>
RandyT:

The GP-Wiz received a little overhaul recently.  Costs on the parts are starting to go up, but I'm doing my best to ease the sting a bit by including some extra functionality.

The GP-Wiz40 has 40 dedicated inputs, 8 more than the previous model, which should make for a much more comfortable "budget" 4 player panel, and obviously all the digital inputs one could ever need for a 2 player panel.  It also includes GroovyGameGear's Roto-X™ Technology as a standard feature.  The AutoSensing code that is present on the RX version has been removed in this version so that the Roto-X feature stays completely dormant unless the user decides to add a rotary stick at a later time and configures his/her system to activate it.  The AutoSensing GP-WizRX40 version will be available at the same price, with the same extra 8 inputs, so you'll want to wait a couple of days for that one to post if you are interfacing rotary sticks at purchase time.

This is the layout and how the OS will report the inputs;


A complete description is available from the product listing at the GGG store.

Price:
$37.95 for the full version with 44 screw terminals
$28.95 for the "EZ-Solder" version. 

Quantity discounts are also available for both types, as shown in the product description.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported us over the past 5 years, allowing us to offer new parts like this one.  There's more stuff coming, including a revisit to the smaller Eco boards and some other stuff I'm not talking about just yet ;)

Wicked stuff Randy, cannot wait to place my big order for my first project!  Will be within the month, thanks!

Also, if i use just a normal joystick with this interface, can i use it as purely 40 inputs?

Absolutely.  This is why I elected to bury the Roto-X functionality unless it is specifically called upon by the user.  If you don't need it, you'll never know it's there.  Consider it merely a bit of "future proofing".

Are you hinting at something?

Hmmm...hadn't actually thought about it that way.  It was probably subconscious  ;D
