I have TM f-22 hotas, great stick back in the day, is there any adapter for the antiquated pin arrangement so I can use it with USB today?

No, but with Leonardo pro micro and Mmjoy2 and one usb cable F22 can be moded in 20 minutes.

 

 

 

Seriously?

For the stick the job is basically fit the Arduino inside - the shield make thinks easy but is optional - make a 5 pin plug for match grip cable connector and wire the two potentiometers adding a 3rd wire in each one. :)

 

Throttle need a bit more of work, is need replace that "eraserhead" thing, with mini-stick or HAT.

You can try a Gameport to USB adapter. It is worth a try, for a couple bucks...

If it doesn't work as expected, Button programming isn't likely to work, neither the script options or the Foxy Software.

DirectX inputs like axis, hat and buttons, should work.

 

The Arduino solution is definitely the more professional one and opens more options later, though.

Thing is that gameport to USB adapters where designed for the basic sticks at the time (~2000), Tm FCS, CH Flightstick, Sidewinders... not for multi-buttons 'HOTAS", they handle only 4/6 buttons, not the 18 buttons + POV HAT in F-22PRO grip, their controller has low resolution for axis = 8 bits, 256 "steeps" .

 

Anyway the best is Rockfire RM-203.

Whoa, how do I do that? I'd like to fly my spit using the f22. Such a nice fluid feel. If love to see if it will work. Thanks.

Hi nuts,

 

Sokol1_br (and others) answered lots of questions for me on this very issue recently, so I'll paste a couple of bits from his answers to save him writing the same again:).

 

There is lots of info in this thread below too.

Sokol said that at the moment people are using the TELE5010/11 sensor in Arduino PRO Micro with MMJoy2 firmware. If this doesen't make sense (it didn't to me at the start) be prepared for lots of reading in the forum I linked above.

 

He also linked them for me if you want to buy:

Mmjoy2 ready to use from China:

I'm not expert on this and still trying to understand it myself. Also check out the forum on modding a Suncom F-15 stick for usb. Hope this helps.

Although the "shield" PCB under Arduino PRO Micro make connections "PnP" and looks good, you can do the same in "Redneck" way, welding the wires to pins:

FYI - Not sure about Data, CS, SCK connections, this is always confuse, check MMjoy2 topics there and/or SimHQ.

Nice. :thumbup:

Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

 

Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.
