I have a newb question.  I am planning to build my own button box, and originally I was going to just use an RP2040 microcontroller (Raspberry Pi Pico) since I have a few kicking around and make it a generic game controller.  But my idea has become slightly more complex.  What I would like to do is use the built in LED rings on the metallic buttons I have to give me the current Engine state on games that report this data.  For example. "Engine Ignition = Off" will blink the ignition button.  If "Engine Ignition = On" the led will be on solid.  Same idea for Engine Start.

Is this possible with SimHub, and what would be the best way to go about it?  Should I be ditching the RP2040 for an Arduino variant?  What else would I need to do to get the LEDs working in the way I mentioned.

If there are already details somewhere on how to do this, can you provide a link?  I've searched around, but I haven't found anything (yet) that matches my use case.

 

Thanks!
