thanks for updating the BOM

Excellent video! Definitely building one of your stick variants and incorporating ideas back into my F5 console.

11:37 According to the Razbam manual, the switches are on both controllers, with the LHC having the countermeasures dispensing functionality, and the right one being the "AAI / NCTR / EWWS" switch.

Awesome video! Small point though, I think you really should have the momentary 2-way sliders on both grips, both the F-15E manual for DCS and an IRL dito lists both as having that.

Do you have a vid of wiring up to the 5 pin mini din and how you have mounted it in the grip.

I could think of one cheap force transducer. Do you know the pointing stick on Lenovo/IBM laptops? The red "mouse" in between the keys. I think that uses one. They are fairly cheap too, about $20

Hey brother great work, i bought and printed one of the hand controllers. Next for paint and wiring. One quick question. I love your stick designs bu cant use them as I have an x56. Do you plan on making an adapter or a variation for use on the x56 base? If you did, id happily pay for the STL.

Awesome. Job, i bought your stls. How does adruino fit in? You kinda skipped it. I am a little confused ? Thanks

thank you for this video, for the wiring, what diameter is used? i'm having trouble understanding the bom please.

@thesimnet

Жыл бұрын

I used standard dupont connector based wires of various diameters, really just whatever I had laying around. The springs in the trigger mechanism have specific diameters to ensure they trigger the buttons at the right time as well.

What wire did you use for soldering?

Great project! Is one for the F16 Throttle planned?! Have you considered SLS Printing instead of FDM? DSD would be happy to ship you some of our easy to use 32 button controllers to help make the F16 throttle a reality!

hello again i would recommend you update the p1 replica switch for realism... mainly the dimensions arent 100% correct you can find the dimensions on mouser electronics also maybe you could add some spring system so who wants could modify it to requires 4 lbs of force like the real one.. and maybe you could add an more realistic/replacement cap mine got damaged during shipping? edit: i think you removed the link to the clamp while updating the BOM

@@neok23 Yes that is correct! It gets quite dense with all the wires but I am experimenting with mounting methods for future grips (see F-15E front seat grip). It's 21 buttons and 2 axis. You could also use 1 arduino and a button matrix, however that can get tricky for absolute beginners!

hello, do you have the step file for the F-5 tiger extension? because I would like to modify it because I have the B8 grip with thrustmaster thread version, so I would like the possibility to modify the upper part for this thread and also make a slot for the shift register card at the inside the extension, the same principle as you did on your F-15 extension project.
