an Arduino USB HID controller, composite USB controller
OverDhill replied to overpro's topic in Home Cockpits
Try this. I believe it might help https://github.com/briankendall/devreorder Also I use Joystick Gremlin Not into Ardinuino myself anymore. I use BU0836X 12-Bit Joystick Board -
I used the scroll wheel from the X52 as it was just an encoder and the back silver HAT switch but the rest is new. The so called mini stick has been replaced with a real mini joystick.

I am still working on updating some of my games at the moment. This is a pretty intense upgrade that requires some good fabrication skills. Basically tear all the electronic guts out of the X52 and mount the new parts. I used a hot melt glue gun for that. I had an old CH Product Pro Throttle that I took the grey HAT switch as well as stripping the cable to use the small wire for all the connections. Figuring out how to connect the scroll wheel (which is nothing but an encoder) to the BU0836X 12-Bit Joystick Board. I used a Dremil and some step drills to modify the handle. One of the more difficult tasks was to grind the shaft of the HALL Effect pot to match the throttle pot and get it mounted in place. It was a lot of work overall but I have been doing these kind of projects all my life as well as my career. Also remember I use this throttle by itself. I do not use the X52 stick and after the MOD it would no longer be usable as it normally plugs into the throttle base. I only wanted the mechanics of the throttle.

Capt Zeen F/A-18C Beta Helios Profile ! ! !
OverDhill replied to Capt Zeen's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
You could make a JSGME package so you could disable it before an update then re-enable it after it -
I finished building my custom upgrade to the X52 Throttle. Pretty much all new high quality parts as well as a HALL Effect for the throttle position. Also includes a mini thumb joystick for the strafing requirements. I will be updating my blog when I install it in my simpit.

Capt Zeen F-15C Helios Profile ! ! !
OverDhill replied to Capt Zeen's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I just noticed that the AOA gauge is not working. I am using the latest Export file. -
I am getting my simpit back in shape after some changes and it seems I have a weird exported view on the right side when flying the F15C. I am using the same monitor config file I have always used. Anyone have any idea what it is for and how to disable it? We have waited for years for DCS to add the RWR export screen and now we have this. With Leavu not working it is back to no RWR on a second monitor.

Has anyone tried this for the F15 to export the RWR? -

Anyone using Reshade with this? -
A quick poll. What is your top 5 most used rotary encoder inputs used for?

Saitek Throttle Scroll wheel?
OverDhill replied to OverDhill's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Good news it seems the scroll wheel is a rotatory encoder much like the ones in some mouse models. I hooked it up to my BU0836X and it worked fine. They sell mouse encoder replacements of various sizes but I am not sure what size this one it. Fortunately my seems to be working fine. -

Saitek Throttle Scroll wheel?
OverDhill replied to OverDhill's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Well after taking it apart I would have to say the scroll wheel is a 360 degree Rotary Encoder. I will know better when I test it with the BU0836X 12-Bit Joystick Board. The throttle axis is a pot as are the other rotary axis knobs.
