Nomad Mouse Wheel as a Level Wheel

Just wondering if there is any news on this issue? While the Nomad system is affordable, it has three shortcomings:
No faders (touch screen can deal with this in some respects and a fader wing would sort it, but is quite expensive)
No encoders (various ways around this with different screen layouts)
No level wheel (major disadvantage)

I think the mouse wheel would be a great alternative, even if it could be activated by Shift, ctrl or Alt.

OSC opens up the ability for us to have all three things you are looking for. I have built encoders, faders, and a level wheel all using Arduino processors and OSC to talk to the console/computer. ETC has given us the ability to build inexpensive accessories for the console.

When I'm speaking of OSC accessories I have built physical encoders, faders, and level wheel. You can use OSC in apps but you can also use it with micro controllers or other processors to build hardware accessories.

Thanks. I will have a go at it.

Hi Andrew,

Looks interesting.
Does oscRFR link to a PC?

Paul.

If you mean can you use oscRFR with Nomads running on a PC then yes.

If you mean can you run oscRFR on a PC then no as its an iPhone/IPad app or an Android app (although i suppose if you really really wanted to you might be able to run in an Android emulator on a PC but that's not a realistic use)
