Hi, Can somebody explain me the process to order the @propeler / olukelo premount PCB for this FFB joystick? I tried via EasyEDA for JLPCB but the bridge between the two websites seems to be broken. After that which BOM should I buy (for composant not mounted by EasyEDA) ? Thanks

thanks Propeler

@propeler, Hi, nice work, could you share with us your EU provider for metal and plastic parts ? Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for your answers, photos and sharing your work at all @walmis . I like your patched brushless servo. You made an opensource alternative to clearpath servos some questions ;-): For the FOC, did you fork an existing brushless controler projet like vedder.se, or did you start from scratch ? (it's not an easy project at all) Good idea for the cheaper wood casing. Do you think that the motors will be cooled correctly with wood (even if FOC is efficient by nature)? I noticed you reduced the belt's width. I was thinking to do the same to reduce the need of "static tension" between pulley and pinion (PLA/PTEG home printed pulley). Which width do you think to use ? For the main board, is it better to make an adapter with an existing FFB Joystick or using full opensource FFB board and code ? (I have 2 Sidewinder2 and one g940 I could use for that project) ? ie do you think opensource FFB firmware regarding the SideWinder 2 or g940 firmware ? What do you think to use for your project ? Regards, JP

Hi all, hi @propeler Do you know what type of steel should I use for the propeler design. @propeler, could you indicate us your provider/manufacturer in poland, for steel and platic parts ? I tried with LaserHub for the metal part and the cost in basic inox 304L is arround 240€ (less expessive than weerg but much than the @propeler provider) thanks in advance,

Excellent !!! @walmis, did you or do you think commit the FOC source code for the stm32 somewhere ?

Very interesting @RealDCSpilot, I have one too, I did'nt notice it before. Thanks

Thanks RealDCSPilot, Hum, gimbal lock, or a workaround to compensate bad orthogonality or alignement of axis since it’s printed parts? Ah ok fine, I did'nt have this joystick Thanks

Hi everybody, I began a design of a printable ffb joy using skateboard bearings, but I stopped as soon I saw this thread !!! Lot of ideas are present, thanks to internet, thanks to you guys for sharing. some questions : @propeler: I like your cardan design but : Why did you put bearing by two each time since there is no screw to make constraint between them ? Are the bearings inside the main cross mandatory ? could you explain why ? When do you thing putting your code on a git ? @RealDCSpilot: Interesting fork, did you publish the stick output in S (snake) STL file somewhere ? @walmis:Very Intereting design too, do you have a git for your project, CAD and soft ? @ all: What do you think about using Gimbal pancake from T-Motor ? What do you think about using chinese low cost CNC closed loop servo(I mean true brushless servo, not hybrid stepper) with their driver box ? thanks in advance, JP
