| VDASH-EMU is a virtual racing dash which displays telemetry from racing game supported by Ledsmaster. The virtual button-box integrated in VDASH-EMU manages 32 buttons and works with a char mapping system to simulate keystroke. VDASH-EMU can also be bridged with a Trinket m0 usb controller ($9) with latest generation of V2R LED technology which makes char mapping unnecessary and add LED support. One software license per emulator (tablet) for unlimited templates. Hardware Capabilities standalone: none with V2R USB controller: 32 buttons and 3 switches/axes assignable to any game control settings. Software license is bonded to the dedicated tablet. | V2RButtonBox is a powerful REAL TIME virtual button-box using the 3nd generation of V2RBox technology to be usable like a REAL (physical) button-box and compatible with ANY game or software using joystick inputs (buttons, encoders, axes). Software license is your contribution + $9 for the Trinket M0 USB controller which is available everywhere. Also compatible with the old Teensy LC board. Software license covers UNLIMITED button-box emulator running on Android or Windows (we recommend a large dedicated Android tablet for real time usage). Hardware Capabilities: 64 buttons + 6 axes per controller (up to 256 buttons+26 axes with 4 controllers).
