If you dont need the end stop switches, or rudder feedback or temperature sensor, that would give you 4 keys, and you could also take advantage of a few others, but this would change motor.ino.

For what it's worth, if you have an ADC pin free, you can read a few buttons by using resistors:

And I'm looking at the controller on the website, and ADC6 and 7 aren't used :-)

motor.ino would still need to be modded to report the buttons back, but a plus is that it frees up GPIO pins on the RPi.
