This USB-microcontroller box replaces your technician's manual keyboard corrections for making color, density and contrast on any ROES or DP2 system which will significantly speed up production time.
Designed, engineered, and assembled in Florida. I use only the best quality components and microcontrollers that are made in the United States. All controllers share the same platform built around a fast 32 bit microcontroller. Programmable for ROES Server or DP2.
Each device is built to order and parts are not normally kept in stock. It takes at least three weeks to 3D print and receive the electronic components and PCBs for assembly and rigorous testing before shipment. I usually allow labs to test the device for 2-3 weeks without any obligation.
There are 2 ways of controlling color corrections on ROES Server at this time:
1- Programming the controller to act like a second keyboard. Every turn or spin of a wheel as well as a button press will generate a specific keystroke shortcut that controls color or density correction.
2- Using a mouse click to specific coordinates within the interface. Every wheel spin or button press translates to a left or right click on buttons used to control color, density, hue, saturation, etc.
Unfortunately, the color correction module in ROES Server wasn't programmed to accept inputs for color and density correction from a serial interface device like in DP2. Because UI Automation wasn't implemented, there is no way to manipulate the user interface elements (buttons).
I currently offer 4 models for sale:
Retro Pactec KEU-7 enclosure. Same as the original "Wheelman" design. Illuminated or non-illuminated wheels and Cherry MMX keyboard switches are available. 3D printed PETG plastic wheels, button caps and front and back plates can be solid or opaque. Multiple colors available for front and back plate by request. Standard color is metallic silver. Wrist support is included as well as replaceable pads.There is no clicking sound when spinning the wheels like the original "Wheelman". There are 20 dents (bumps) per wheel revolution.
Low profile enclosure measuring 3.6'' x 6.6'' x 1.54'' tall. Low profile Cherry MMX keyboard switches. 3D printed PETG plastic enclosure, wheels, button caps, front and back plate. Multiple colors available by request. Standard enclosure color is gun metallic gray. Wrist support with replaceable pad.
Smaller enclosure design measuring 4" x 6 " x 1.25" tall. There are illuminated wheels and buttons that produce a "clicking" sound. Made in Japan enclosure with top printed graphics. It could be used as a desktop controller or handheld device similar to a gaming controller.
