Title: Panel advice needed please.
Post by: KapnKerfuffle on January 31, 2009, 04:56:36 pm
So, I got this here panel design.  It's 30" by 13" basic design of .  I originally had a spinner on the top left side but I got rid of that.  I have 2 Happ 12-position Rotary Optical Joysticks.

Questions:
1)  Could I add a spinner and a 4-way without making a Frankenpanel?

2)  I'm planning on getting a I-pac and Opti-pac for the encoders.  Is that the best option?  (keeping in mind future additions)

3)  I have an old hard drive and optical mouse.  Could I make a home brew spinner that would work with those encoders?

Thoughts and opinions welcome.  TIA.
