Hub
The Hub is an interface device for 3rd party inputs. You can build your own input devices or connect compatible off the shelf products, like the Logitech Adaptive Gaming Kit.
Inputs
The Hub has 4 analog inputs (A1 to A4) and 6 digital inputs (D1 to D6).
| Abbreviation | Image | Hub inputs | Use cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRRS |  | A1/A2, A3/A4, D1/D5, D2/D6 | dual channel active devices, i.e joystick with 2 axes |
| TRS |  | All | dual channel passive inputs, i.e. 2 buttons |
| TS |  | D1 to D4 | single channel inputs, i.e. 1 button |
The 3.5 mm jack sockets have the following input assignments, see also Phone connector (audio).
| Input | T | R | R | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | A2 | A1 | A2 | 3.3V | GND |
| A3 | A4 | A3 | A4 | 3.3V | GND |
| D1 | D5 | D1 | D5 | n.c. | GND |
| D2 | D6 | D2 | D6 | n.c. | GND |
| D3 | D3 | n.c. | n.c. | GND |
| D4 | D4 | n.c. | n.c. | GND |
Settings
On Input 1 and 2, the Hub accepts stereo jack plugs with two analog signals. This is convenient for building Joysticks or other two-axis devices with just one cable. The second analog channel for Input 1 and 2 can be activated in the device settings.
Buttons
The main device has 4 buttons (CHERRY MX BLUE) in a row. It can be extended with two more rows of the Button Extensions module to make it an 8 or 16 buttons device.
Mouse
Configurator
The Configurator is a web app to configure in:control devices. It is available at configure.in-control.ch.
Follow the steps for an initial configuration.
- Plug in your device with an USB cable
- Click the pop-up to open the Configurator, or open it by following the link above.
The Configurator appears empty because devices must be paired with the browser before they can communicate.
- In the device list, click add device…
- A dialog appears. Choose the in:control device and select connect.
- The device appears in the device list and is selected automatically.
From here the device connects automatically with the Configurator when it’s opened on the same PC and browser. For using an other PC or browser, pair the device with the new setup.
