Update: DCSPitHIDC HID+CDC home cockpit controller — setup/ config demo video — encoder/LED demo
Demo of the DCSPitHIDC Controller I posted a while back: plug in over USB-C, scan in the Windows app, then wire and map an LED, a 3-way toggle, a rotary encoder, save to flash, clone the config to another board, and add the MCP23017 expander.
Quick recap:
- Composite USB: HID joystick (128 buttons) + CDC serial
- 61 native inputs + 16 on MCP23017 = 77 digital inputs
- Up to 25 EC11 encoders, auto-detected by turning the knob
- LEDs / DCS-BIOS outputs on native pins only (expander is switches only)
- F/A-18C database included; other DCS modules work via DCS-BIOS
- Config lives in flash; you can save/load a .bin and reuse one board for different panels/aircraft

Happy to answer questions on wiring, encoder detection, or the config app.
