Torben,
Are you able to impliment parallel port I/O to mAirList ? There are 5 input pins (short to ground to trigger), and 8 outputs (+5v when high). These are ideal for logic/switching inputs and don’t require external hardware like an IO Warrior. Using this method for mixer/fader-start removes the need for resistors or gutting a gamepad.
A project that I’m working on requires the need to switch 2 remote sources on/off from within the playout system, and as we’re using pro audio cards - We won’t be using Line In routing.
It’s pretty straighforward, just find out the port number from the control panel and read or write bytes to it. You can use the WriteAND function to toggle single bits. Let me know if you need any help with this.
Using the inputs for fader start actions shouldn’t be too hard to implement either. Let’s see if I find some more information about this parallel port stuff. I shall find my copy of “PC intern”, a very good book on (classic) PC hardware, commonly referred to as “the bible” back in the golden times of DOS
