The last system of I made I purchased one from Virtuapin that worked great but they no longer sell one.
I'm going crazy looking for a new one for my next project and can't really find anything here or online.
Am I the only one looking for a solution to this?
No I don't want to use old controllers, Mercury switch or other junk like that, I just want a nice little USB card that plugs in and works.

I have no need for a plunger.
I just want a controller with nudge that we know works!

Ah yes, I did a search in Zebsboards.com for "nudge" and found what I wanted!

Thanks so much!

It still seems weird that more people aren't looking for these??????

Thanks.  I managed to find a FRDM-KL25Z from an aussie supplier that was not charging 2x it's cost just for the postage.... so it looks like it's time to retire the old mercury switches ;)

That's what I picked up recently and it works like a charm... certainly not as easy as Zeb's solution as you do need to update the firmware and then install the software and then solder your own header and wires in place so if those things are out of your comfort area Zeb's solution is certainly the way to go.

Guy's, I did go this way at first because they are so cheap but when I plug it into my USB port it is not recognized and Windows can't find a driver. I spent an hour or so looking for a driver for it and couldn't get it working and gave up.

I did recognize it when I plugged it into the programming port but back into USB port and same problem!

That's when I started looking for help on this forum.

If anybody has any other ideas on how to get this thing working I'm all ears!!!!!

Windows 7 Pro

I was able to get everything working except for the drivers loaded. It would give me an error like this:

"cannot run an x86 build of this utility on x64 platform"
