This is my and my friend's Zoran contribution to flight sim community ! many times I read about various hardware that you can buy for for your flight sim that costs thousands of dollars LITTERALLY. ALL this CAN BE BUILT FOR LESS THAN 50 US DOLLARS INCLUDING MECHANICS AND ELECTRONICS and final product is very close or in some segment better that that overpriced controls that you can buy. Every man with average mechanican works ekill and with very basic electrical experience can build this. many part are those that you can find in your backyard like old horisontal case for pc , water hitter pipes, bike rubber grips, pipes from old washing mashine etc. This is preliminary homemade affordable high guality yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedals. Our friend Bojan has made a custom electronick for our homemade controls. Some of the features are: MECHANICAL FEATURES - high mechanical quality of all components and very sturdy design - smooth and responsive controls - yoke travel length for pitch axis of more than 200 mm ( about 8 inches) - yoke travel lenght in aileron axis 180 deegres - sturdy rudder pedals that have 8 inches back and forth movement ELECTRICAL FEATURES - Hight quality CUSTOM MADE ELECTRONICS WITH MICROCONTROLER P18F2550 or any other USB Pic - 10 analog axes with 10 bit electrical precision with 12 bit optional possibility - analog pitch trim control - 16 digital all purpose buttons and separatelly hat switch control - custom sensitivity that can affect individual analog axes adjustable throught custom software - noise free analog axes with posibility of dumping features JOYSTIK_BY_BOKI S59KB 8 BIT (author of elecronics and programming Bojan Kranjc our big friend from Slovenia) * Copyright: S59KB Thanks microelectronics, 2013 This is a simple demonstration of 8 Axis, 12 Buttons and Hat Joystick Controller Possibility of adjusting OFFSET potentiometer USING REFERENCES VREF+ and VREF- Due to the angle of the potentiometer.
