Title: controlling buttons with pedals
Post by: Felice on April 29, 2005, 07:42:18 pm

I'm thinking of controlling 2 buttons with my feet, in stead of my fingers for easier control.

Has anyone an idea how to build this sort of pedals, which includes 1 button for controlling with the right foot and 1 button for the left foot.

Just find yourself a couple of momentary footswitches. If you have the DIY urge it would be easy to make one with a microswitch. Cheap too!

I suggest buying a couple of cheap 2nd PS2 guns off ebay which have foot pedals something like this:-

I got one of these split the wire and connected it to the right mouse button on my CP to allow me to use a pedal to reload in HOTD2. It took all of 2 minutes.
