DIY Hotas Throttle Pictures

[TheCoyoteHunter]

I have almost completed my DIY throttle controller, needs some paint and I possibly a upgrade on the TDC.

Thanks to all of you fine folks that helped me out back here...

I used the Leo Bodnar BU0836X, I have all 8 axis in use, as well as 37 on/off buttons & switches. 1 button needed some diodes, as it is connected to the hat switch (up & left). In reality I could still add 3 buttons but I don't think I really need them. 

This is my 1st ever such project and I am very happy with it so far. It completely changed my DCS experience. In the end it cost nearly double what my budget was, but still only a fraction of what the warthog throttle costs.

For the TDC I used the ADAFRUIT-2765. https://www.adafruit.com/product/2765  This is a very cheap little thumb stick and while it works as advertised, I wish I could get more precision out of it when using the TGP on the Hornet. For A-A radar its excellent, I tried various curves but can't quite get it to a satisfactory level for the TGP. 

One question for you guys: Is the TDC on the Warthog or Vipril throttles more like a stick, like on a Xbox / PS4 controller? Or is it like the one I used, that moves side to side. I'm thinking of replacing mine for the same one that's on the Nintendo Switch. It is the stick style, nice and small and not very expensive. 

Anyway here are some pictures...
