I'm deciding how advanced /$ to sink in to my cockpit.
Some parts let you remap key presses into mountable buttons or switches via USB. So having a button dedicated to coolant flush or override or other controls and mounting them where convenient all begins with mapping out what the keys do. I've played the pods at VWE and that would be my ultimate goal built re-imaged.

IF YOUR IN BETA, Shut your yap. Keep your fingers off the keyboard. I don't [JABS FINGER AT SCREEN] want to hear from you. Keep your NDA intact.

Thanks.

Those Tesla Pods are seriously awesome.

If I had the ability, I would totally build one as a project. (I don't have the ability.)

ORIGINAL SteelWolf, would you mind creating a thread for this when you begin construction? I am very interested in the watching this progress from start to finish, as well as any tips or resources you have to contribute along the way.

Man, I thought about a cockpit myself, thus I lack most of the knowledge to add some little hardware buttons and litte monitors. But that would be quite awesome and with that Microsoft Gadgeteer-Stuff (http://research.micr...ects/gadgeteer/) it should be somewhat "easy".

I would love to add some hardware switches and some little extra monitors to that setup :-)
