Thrustmaster Cougar Throttle USB standalone adapter

[antares190]

Dear Thrustmaster enthusiasts,

following some really neat piece of info online (https://pit.uriba.org/uriba/standalone-cougar-tqs-part-i/ ), I created my own version of the adapter. Mine is based on Teensy, I also changed the USB device identifier so that windows sees it as Cougar instead of Teensy (completely eye candy, unnecessary headache). I also added an hardware calibration routine, axis mapping, a board to seamlessly connect the components, a 3D printable case and other neat features, check it out!

Any chance you are selling the built-ones?

Hi Mower, thanks for the reply and for the interest. I took the original idea from Uriba, which was kind enough to share it to everybody for free, I don't foresee selling them, but I can upload the Gerber files for the pcb, then it is a matter of soldering.

 

The code is also available on the blog.

Cheers bro though I have to say my soldering skills are lacking to the point I won’t even bother.

Is there any way of getting Target software to identify the standalone throttle with the adapter as a Thrustmaster device? That would be very useful as I'm using CTS which makes my life a lot easier and don't have to do any mapping myself.

antares190, are you willing help me run this device? I did hardware and software according to "Difficult Way".

I was able to upload software to the board and device is already vissible as Cougar. But there is no any response of the buttons and axis.
