You need to see if hardware is a problem, potentially a bad Pot for example. I’d use another computer and see if it works there.

Thx. There’s too many wires to run out and have a BU0836x elsewhere other than inside that box. Bu0836x costs $50, unless there’s one laying around, like mine (LOL). But if you don’t have a spare one, buying a stand alone Saitek TQ ($60) is the better option.

Thx. That’s exactly what I wanted to know. That makes it different than the Saitek TQ sold as Stand Alone with usb. so for the Saitek set that I have, I’d be better off just leave it alone without mod. It’s not necessary to get Throttle to from 8 to 12 bit, unless you want the whole TQ as a stand alone unit. Thx, Les.

I’ve been lurking here and just signed up. Got a question for you, Ark. First, background: successfully modded the Saitek with BU0836x and built a switch panel. The original Saitek AtoD was coarse for me, and Logitech driver would “time out” while I was flying, froze every controller movement. So I decided I was done with Saitek driver. Native driver for bu0836 is much better, works well with FS2020. But I only ported out the pitch and roll axis to BU0836, then assigned a bunch of other functions to my switches. So I’m still using the Saitek electronic board in the yoke..My Saitek yoke does have the PS connection to TQ. I’m disappointed in the Saitek yoke mechanism because it is not smooth, not good for coming in to land. So I am pondering Honeycomb yoke, but with BU0836 (to go from 8bit to 12bit). Honeycomb does not have attached Throttle, which means I need to use Saitek TQ. My question is Does Saitek TQ, that has PS2 connector, electronically different from those that sold alone with USB connector? In other words, does the PS2 ones ready to go USB if you just match the wires (means it uses the Saitek board only as usb hub) ? the PS2 ones really have NO Electronics inside it ? The Stand alone TQ, sold alone, has usb connection, which means it has an AtoD inside.
