Cougar Throttle Voltage

[John Galt]

I have put off upgrading my Cougar Throttle hoping someone would come up with a quality F-16 throttle and have it on the market by now but that ain't happening. So, I need to get started and I remember the last time I checked the first thing you needed to know is what voltage your throttle is. I remember seeing a video showing how to tell the difference but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere.

Can anyone direct me to that video or other information to get me started.

Thank you

Look or ask here.

AFAIK WinWing and Realsimulator will both offer a TQS.
Cheers!

Thank you very much MAXsenna, that was exactly what I was looking for.

I was of the opinion that WinWing was making an interchangeable throttle with an F-16 grip but I've not heard anything about that in a long time, and 

RealSimulator's new F-35 throttle is not on the market yet, so, as to my dilemma.

Thank you again.

Yeah, things takes time.

Edit: BTW@rel4y will offer a force sensing mod for the stick, like Realsimulator, as well.

Thanks again Maxx. I really appreciate your help.

I am designing one. And it’s aimed for making it all in your garage with simple hand tools and some simple shop tools like a drill press and a 3D printer — a very tall order in design.

I am mostly concentrating on the guts of controls like HAT and buttons, and slew control, all non-contact without bounce. Like mini-Hall stick, optical 8-way + 1 switch.

The 8-way optical HAT switch alone has been ongoing for the last 3 year (10 complete redesign… almost there). But, I wouldn’t hold my breath on it. Even I couldn’t wait for my own RudderCore design to be completed (needs Hempstick Pico, which I have not even started yet) and bought a TM Pendulum Rudder.

Moreover, there are a bunch of people already made their own F16 throttles using 3D printing.

Anyway, TM Cougar is all 5V.

Good luck with your progress and thanks for the voltage info.

Keep us updated as you complete your throttle, would love to see photos if you don't mind.
