http://www.flightgear.org/ has some nice gauges and (aircraft) panels made from them. |

Remember that it must be possible without a mouse. Simple but powerful solution is needed. Maybe
* arrange in a 2D matrix and use arrow keys for navigation (the 1D and alt-tab is too slow) |

* tree-menu is the most common approach when number of buttons is limited. Most laser-printers and TFT monitors (and even televisions) use this. The tree deltph is usually low (max 2..3). This requires an up/down and enter/back (perfectly suits the GBA buttons up/down and left/right). At the bottom of the hierarchy, a specific value can be adjusted. The adjust +/- keys can be the same as the up/down keys, in this case it's important to press "enter" to adjust the "value", while independent (from the up/down) +/- buttons allow adjusting without pressing enter (and back at the end). GBA allows this as well. * in a special case, at the cost of +2 buttons, elements of a particular tree-level can be arranged in a 2D matrix and use arrow keys for navigation: the 1D and alt-tab is too slow when there are many elements in a tree-level, but too many elements on a tree-level might be a bad idea for other reasons ? The popular motec software has many elements in the main menu. |
