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. There are opportunities to expand the matrix of buttons Program to use USB_HID_desc * Test configuration: No drivers needed Tested on WIN_98 operating systems, Tested on WIN_XP 32_BIT operating systems, Tested on WIN_XP 64_BIT operating systems, Tested on WIN_7 32_BIT operating systems, Tested on WIN_7 64_BIT operating systems, Not tested on WIN_8 operating systems. MCU: P18F2550 or any other USB Pic Dev.Board: EasyPIC5 or any other. Oscillator: 4.0000 MHz SW: mikroBasic Pro v 3.2 Here is the link to our friend's Bojan Kranjc and his post on microelectronic site that you can visit and read some additional information and pictures of electronics. http://www.mikroe.co...hp?f=97&t=52576 if there is interest for additional details please let me know and i will gladly give you electrical scheme layout, required components (list), code for microcontroller programming etc. I am waiting for your oppinions

Hi, I'm having serious issues with the toe brakes on my saitek pro flight pedals. There's a real nasty and sharp deadzone kind of thing at the lower end of their range of movement. What i mean is that before i push the brakes over something like 20% of their range of movement (where 0% means that the brakes are off and 100% that they're on), absolutely nothing happens. Then, when i press them beyond the 20% point, they suddenly snap into action (As you can imagine, this is not good). Between 20% and 100% they are smooth as silk, no sudden spikes or anything. I've even tried setting the pedals up with FSUIPC, still no luck. Is this caused by bad calibration or are my pedals broken? Cheers KorRacer
