@JohnnyV what type of push buttons did you use, NKK or Knitter? Also, what board did you use for wiring, Leo Bodnar?

The answers are already in the thread in text and pictures. NKK buttons and Leo Bodnar board.

In detail it is a BU0836 board the rotaries are CTS288s.

Sorry for butting in @JohnnyV.

 

[JohnnyV]

No problem rob, saves me the trouble

 

[Chunt04]

Thanks guys, I'm sorry I missed it. Just curious, do any of you have experience with Knitter buttons vs NKK? If so, any pros and cons between the two?

 

[JohnnyV]

No cons, both great switches that will last your lifetime.
NKK harder to push, thats about it

NKK have screw on caps(or clip on), Knitter have clip on caps, SO if you plan to have decals on your caps and dont want them spinning, Stick with NKK.

Switch body size/overall height is slightly in favor of Knitter.

Anyone know where the best place to get NKK or Knitter buttons in North America?

Replica aka Style 7 (email for details on decals)

Thanks, I was hoping there was a general electronics store or something that would sell it cheaper than a specialty sim racing outfit.

How'd you get the aston martin logo?
Ebay prices are pretty high, maybe you could point me to the right direction?

 

[Pascalleke]

Possible to buy a wheel from you?

Actually not fully corret.

That is Matrix board which is shown in picture and Bodnar dont seem to have them listed so i do not know if he sells them anymore. Or does this Matrix board come with that card?

You can ofcourse wire buttons also in matrix to BU0836 but it you need to make that matrix so fair to warn anyone just buying BU0836 and hoping to build one.

 

[DrRob]

I wouldn't know @Sami Viljanen. Sorry mate.
But it seems you're correct it is the"A" version.

ACtually if anyone is looking for control card option who lives in EU i think cheaper option is to use Arduino and similar matrix board. Bodnar cars are great but they are expensive and Brexit just makes them even more expensive when taxes and other are added. He is kind of example of companies which is going to be hit by Brexit.
