Great job! What brand damper did you use.

YES! Goood find! this is the post i was looking for earlier. I had thought it was the other one. This is the one i used too!

So what you planning on using the USB or a port out of the Graphics card? I personally have 4 monitors. And the 4th monitor is my MFCD's with a monitorsetup.lua I got from this guide out this thread. Have you seen this? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815 well some of the spoilers stuff is broken but anyways. Is it also just for the A10c you want export the MFCD's?

I used a standard 10k ohm pots on a tore down 3d pro tied to a bread board and it appeared to work good after calibration. I originally lost the twist axis pots so I tore it down was experimenting and it picked it up. When you change them out and figure out your design you have to use the same pot s for all axis. As far as the same exact pots for replacement I think those parts are special made for Logitech, maybe. There is a couple of post that there is a thumb ps4 control joystick that might have the same pots you might be able to use. Sokol1 is the one the found it just not for sure exact demission's or remember the specifics. gotto find the thread with the pic. I had these pots https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-11pcs-Rotary-Adjustment-Potentiometer/dp/B00JR6HZLK/ref=pd_lpo_328_tr_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YDMDX14G1HTW7AFFGT1E FOUND IT! This is posted by another forum user Sokol1 that might be close to drop in pots but got to take it apart type thing. Thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=161643 Part might be same size not for sure http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Thumbstick-Analog-Stick-Joystick-For-Playstation-3-PS3-Controller-/281880625968?hash=item41a1650330:g:OcQAAOSwYHxWHu0v there is also this really nice hall senor pots.... In theory it should pick up like other pots but not for sure never tried it and there kind of high on price for it not to work. http://www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/model-6120/24400 .

Just in case you havn't found your answer for UltraMFCD it is up and down it works for some and not for others its still being worked on for 1.5. I couldn't get it running myself so ended running a monitorsetup.lua which is what Gliptal talking about. Exporting MFCD the lua script way is better. But another way is https://bit-shift.com/a10vcserver/index.html. its a free version. You can drag and place the MFCD to where you need. I used this till I figured out the file for monitorsetup cause this way LUA will actually export all the other aircraft mfcd to your screen too that have exportable like names, I think. I am not to program savy. Like if you fly the f15 it put the left mfcd screen up. The bit shift server just does the a10c.

Ah I see I didn't understand the question good catch.. yes they are one press per pole not 2 at same time. But I see MMJoy has a hat section does that enable the encoding to move the switch in diagonal direction. I keep forgetting about the IDE cables I do have those too in a big box that is actually a good idea. I have thought of the extra plate with a cross to centralize the throw of N,E,W,S that make good sense. Got sit down to the drawning board. Got figure out the knobs too. I was thinking the natural muscle memory, if I use the shapways castle knobs orient them with the raised parts pointing in the activation direction of the button press that would be good enough to make sure you catch the right poles.

Nice, It looks good. That looks to be a the best solution. I like the shaft adapter for the other knobs. I was wondering how I was going to adapt the knobs to it. Ill wait a bit till your stratified with the alps holder.

Nice! That would be awesome to replace my home made holder. Switches can be wired diagonal. It has pins for all 9 directions to use. They are alittle odd to solder wire too. Cause they seem more like a PCB mount then just throw wire at them. I twisted the wire around the pin and drop flux then solder on it then heat shrink. Was wondering is your POV switch ready in Shapeways? I was thinking of making the 2way switch to a 4way on the left throttle?

The four way switches technically they are 9way but I just used 4 poles. But they were the ones you posted in your other thread. I found them here in the US for more money of coarse, but they were the best price and close. http://www.onlinecomponents.com/alps-electric-rkjxl100401v.html?p=10114290&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_term=_cat:onlinecomponents.com&utm_content=&ref=GoogleAd:-&gclid=CKjX-deQwM0CFRSUfgodeN4I-A&cshift_ck=B9E32D25-B34F-4B5F-AA31-13E3EF03ED3Fcs. They are quality with a strong spring and the action feels good. The only problem I can see is moving the lever to the four spots in a hurry might miss the spot to actuate the switch. Like in between the poles where I didn't wire to the switch. I wired black arrows up, right, left and down and the red lines could be the miss press. But they work good so far! And the action with the pots throttle movement in DCS is smooth as butter I placed the pots in 14bit in mmjoy.

Ok to Explain what I did to the right throttle. I took it slightly apart and drill out the buttons on the front part built its own plate to mount the 4way hats. I solder wires and used a piece of aluminum and Nylon stand offs to hold It down. Then I placed 2 shift registers PCB. I had to trim some supports out to get it to fit then I lay a piece of vinyl tape over the switches to protect the PCB. I reused the plugs on the PCB's and placed my own DuPont connectors on the end. I had to use OHM meter to plot out the pins in the connector for every switch. And I took out the 2 Pots and added 2 more toggles, (on)off(on). I reused a lot of the wiring from the gameport cord that went to a F15 flight stick. It was the same 26 or 28 gauge already in the throttle. I stripped it down with a razor blade. I couldn't find any wire smaller then 24ga at the store and that was getting to big to run through the bottom hole of the right throttle.

ah ya sorry I had bought a broken X55n with a broken USB controller on Ebay,I had started a thread was going to upload it to there but here is fine. I have pics of how I build my right throttle handle with those little hat switches. But I will post another. But I needed dual throttle and at the time this was the only viable solution for cheap.

Ok so I got a pcb that coincides with Debolestis's shift register boards that can be bought on OshPark. He generously helped with the creation for my setup. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Jx2I95Xq outstanding work. It has the 5pin setup to the promicro and 4 axis. I have it mounted on the female pin headers. And solder the male pin headers on the Promicro. So the board is removable. I have 2 shift reg in the right throttle and 3 in the base I currently have access to 40 buttons. with this config. I have to say Thanks to mega_mozg_13, Sokol1, Debolestis for the help on hardware and having the MMJoy2 software to use.

What dampeners are those. They look like off a RC car. Brilliant!

Have you seen this. https://bit-shift.com/a10vcfree/index.html this is the free version and then if you like I guess there is a paid version.

Nice Work! That does look stout.

Hello Mr Burns nice pedals. Are you trying to use the gp40 wiz board's axis for the pedals? the axis on that board is not for regular pots axis. Its more of a on-off axis like old style arcade joystick. Never mind I just read the spoiler tag at bottom of post. Maybe you can try promicro chip with MMjoy2 that is a really good program to use and the promicro chips are under $20 or less on ebay! This board is one I am using you don't have to buy from Sparkfun just a reference! https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pro-micro--fio-v3-hookup-guide/hardware-overview-pro-micro And this thread is good for info http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3899105/1

Ah ok thanks. I know this has probably been asked does mmjoy support endcoders? So on the x52 throttle those must be encoders.

just find a function you want use and scroll the wheel when you config it in controls at least the radio freq portion picked it up. When I rolled it was like button 36 or something.

Hello all. Currently I use these scroll wheels on my x52pro Throttle to change the radio freq on the a10c. When I spin the wheels its register as a button press. Normally off and when spun momentary on. Is there a place to buy these separate or maybe the exact name they would be? Or a rotary switch that is like a scroll wheel. I have done Google search's with no real success. Tnanks!

Does anyone know what the name of the scroll wheel switch on the x55 right handle throttle is? I just want to buy the switch Not sure what to call it. I have done a few Google searches but nothing other then scroll wheels for a mouse.

Hello all I realize this thread is a little old. But I use the little scroll wheels on the X52pro Throttle down below the screen to change the radio freq. They register as a button click so scroll up and down moves the numbers up and down.

I Saw this. Looks like the Kickstarter was funded. http://www.roadtovr.com/vr-lens-lab-brings-prescription-lenses-rift-vive-kickstarter-now-live/

Outstanding! Looks good..

Nice!!! I am in the same boat working on my f15 stick for the f18 too! That's a awesome job. So did you cannibalized your warthog stick. Or find a broke one?

Ah on looks like my magnets are to far way. They are also bigger then the ones On the bic shaft. I ll adjust thanks. Well the gimballs look the same. There might be slight differences but i am going back to the drawing board. Thanks again!
