Hotas and other stuff

Hi

I think it is time to share some of my gadgets.

 

it all started with the need of some more Potis for Engine Management.

so I Hacked an old USB Stick I had lying around.

after that i needed some form of Pedals, but was unwilling to spend any Money in them. so i scavenged some old Furniture for the Base and sliders.

next part was some Headtracker some IR-LED and an SP2 Eye. and FreeTrack was my friend.

I was never realy happy with the Poti Box. so i build myself a Throttle.

thistime i used an Arduino as base.

 

now was the time do some real work.

i started on my first Joystick.

 

and no Cockpit would be completed without an proper Button Box.

 

at late i expanded the Arduino with an ADS1115 for better resolution.

and some minor updates on different parts. mostly on the Pedals

 

last add-on is an 7" Tablet that runs as CDU for the A10c / as Nadir for the Gazelle /as PVI-800 for the Ka-50. (sorry no pictures for that).

 

so now that is my setup as i play today. time to start working on the Hotas Mark2 :joystick:
