Small switch panel for my Fulcrum yoke

Recommended Posts

I am enjoying using my Fulcrum yoke. However while I was considering which yoke to purchase one of the things that appealed to me about the Honeycomb yoke was the switches available on the housing.  As I don't like using the mouse more than I have to, especially with rotary controls.

The thing that decided it for me (having tried both at Cosford many moons ago) was the solid build of the Fulcrum and the really smooth travel on the pitch axis in particuIar. not to mention the length of travel and no detent at all.

So I have made a small control panel to work with my Fulcrum yoke. Now I have the best of both worlds.

Hope these photos might inspire you to get building. https://youtu.be/giaDbHwYzOI

Wow, that's creative thinking!

I was thinking about adding a Stream deck since one can't have enough buttons, but these rotary encoders are really great. Can you show us what you materials you used to make this?
