rel4y Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just realized, I haven't posted anything in a while. Now that the days are getting shorter and rainy, a lot more work tends do get done in the hobbyshop! If you guys remember the OTTO hatswitches I posted about a few months ago, here are some printed ones. The CMS hat is now also exactly modeled after an original F-16 one. The prints are not perfect as I forgot to remove all the bubbles in the resin, but they still look pretty good imo. Case dimensions and travel (10 deg) are exactly to OTTO spec, but they are modeled after the tactile ones (OTTO T4T). So they are clicky and not springy. The big trim can be springy or clicky, but I haven't printed one yet. I'll start to show off a lot more stuff and also get back to the force sensing base. I supplied a bunch of modified force sensors to commercial customers but I need to make it finally available to retail... 4 1 Cougar, CH and Saitek PnP hall sensor kits + shift registers: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220916 Shapeways store for DIY flight simming equipment and repair: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/rel4y-diy-joystick-flight-simming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Y axis does not work well. It is mostly okay in pitching down, but only has about the first 20% of the range pitching back. And sometimes it jitters all over the place. I'm pretty much broke feeding the kids, if anyone can get help me get myself back in the air for minimal costs... well, it would be much appreciated.

rel4y Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I have zero experience with the cub hall sensors, but I find it unlikely that the hall sensors themselves are broken. I'd suggest checking the cables i.e. wiggle on them and look for a loose contact or an oxidized connector. But I'm not sure how the gimbal is constructed. In case the hall axle is part of the gimbal mechanics itself, it's possible that the sensor is mechanically worn out. However, I doubt the Uber gimbal is constructed like that as that would be pretty underwhelming...

However, I doubt the Uber gimbal is constructed like that as that would be pretty underwhelming... Now that you mention it, one of the wires kept slipping out of the connectors that were used (the amber coloured things on the right of my picture). That might have been the loose one. Well, now to see if I can actually get the hall sensors' axels inserted back into the gimbal. Things look right, but they aren't going in far enough, I worry that there might be two holes that need to be aligned and I have messed that up. Thank you for your advice! Much appreciated!

I was friends with Ian (UberMod) and Greg (EvenStrain) when they came out with these mods, I built Greg's website to sell the EvenStrain gimbal, and I helped Ernie "CubPilot" with his Hall sensor mods. Greg and Ian were amazing machinists! Greg machined the pieces that went on to Cub's hall sensors, and made his brackets.

tomcat_driver Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Hello @rel4y, I have a question. I originally upgraded all the sensors on my CH HOTAS and on a later date, the throttle's board but not the stick's. Would it be possible for me to swap the stick and throttle boards so I have the upgraded relay's board in the stick instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade boards are the exact same connector wise and differ only in firmware setup. You would just need to reinstall the original CH board of the Throttle. Contact me via email and I will upload the correct firmware for you. I need to know the mainboard rev (1.0- 1.3) number, it's printed on the PCB front. 1 Cougar, CH and Saitek PnP hall sensor kits + shift registers: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=220916 Shapeways store for DIY flight simming equipment and repair: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/rel4y-diy-joystick-flight-simming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
