This channel serves as a dataspace fo my projects! Here you will find DIY projects and educational tutorials as I create them! I post all of my builds on my thingiverse page with instructions on how to build--go check it out!
Note an upgraded controller choice is a Blue Pill and run the "freejoy" project on it. it lets you do some tweaking to pot profiles and naming of the set so that the pedals even show up in windows as "flight pedals" named and let s you control the ID's of the board so it doesnt conflict with arduino button boxes.
Vince, very nice project! I'd like to build it, have some experience in 3D-printing. How did you print the 'sheath' parts? They look difficult to print... which sides down on the printing bed?
i tried making this, tip: if you want the button for each knob to have a certain length, you have to drill an oblong hole for the ball bearing; having a small circular hole would only make the buttons have shorter length to press.
sorry must have missed it, will go relook. thanks. ... then to figure out how to pull a step file into F360 and make it a solid design/components, ;) never stop discovering/learning. @@VincePrints
@@VincePrints Wow! Thank you for the response! I didn't realize that you 3D printed some of the parts. I don't have access to a 3D printer... do you sell 3D printed parts? If not, do you know who does? Thanks in advance.
@@michaelkang215 unfortunately no, but there are many retailers you should be able to order from, if you wanted to get into the hobby a good beginner recommendation would be the ender 3 or the new bamboo labs printer
@@VincePrints Makes sense now. I didn't catch that the prop and mixture sheathes' ID were actually rifled. I started with throttle sheath prints, that twice made it all the way to the stepped down threads before going haywire, and was going to use those whiffs as prop/mixture. Was having as much difficulty wrapping my brain around the smooth inner surface producing linear motion as I was why the print wasn't working. I'm completely new to printing; this is my very first build(on my son's printer from Santa!)
Awesome! Thank you for all the time you put into this. I'm working in building a Cassena 172 cockpit, I'm also planning to get the certificate for private pilot, I have a question, What type of 3D printer you used? I'm planning to print the printable items. Congratulations in your projects and Thanks for the inspiration.
Super cool! Anybody can guide me where to buy the plastic handles (3D print) ? Is there file we can download and send to someone online to print it for us ? Thank you !
Great project, I'll be printing it soon - with a small change. You could make it precise, easier to build and more robust: BU0836A 12-Bit Joystick Controller instead of arduino (12bit analog inputs instead of 10bit) Magnetic (Hall effect) sensor Allegro A1302 and a magnet instead of potentiometers. (No gears, no dead zone, no wear)
Great project. One build note - the trick of using a solder iron to push in the insert nuts is a subtle one; took us a while to realize that's how you do it. Maybe worth a note somewhere.
First of all, awesome design... really appreciate your effort and generosity sharing your work, you've done all the heavy lifting. I've just finished building one, but I've had to 'remix' it a little bit to components and parts I have available - I'm using AS5600 hall effect sensors instead of pots, resized the PVC tubing (we have metric 25mm OD), and resized the screw holes as I don't have those brass inserts. Having the STEP files made it easy, so again, much appreciated for sharing!
