September 3, 20205 yr The MFS Camera Control Unit I intended to build is ready (but for the knobs for the sliders that are in the making). The unit is built around an Arduino Leonardo. It's recognized by Windows as a HID controller. I hope MFS has the settings available to use a HID controller to control the camera and the drone. The idea is to control those with the left hand, while the right hand holds the stick to control the plane. The joystick is intended for Rx, Ry, Rz rotations. The sliders are meant for X,Y translation and Zoom. The 5 buttons are meant to switch between saved camera presets. Cost price of the unit is less than $20,- plus a couple of fun hours building it. EDIT: for some reason the image won't show here, but it is two posts down in this thread. Info on how to build this yourself will follow soon.

September 3, 20205 yr Author Yes, but Ahh ... now adding the picture worked ... strange. I'll post the drawings, laser file, parts list and software soon, probably tomorrow. Edited September 3, 20205 yr by RudyB24 Always have fun --0-- Flight Sim Navigation
