Kercheiz Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hi; I'm starting to design my own grip for a Virpil base. Is there any available board that would be compatible? Or do I need to cannibalize a TM or Virpil grip board? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolas_A Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Hello, I have the schematic if you want to DIY it. I can't find the board from one of my Cougars so I need one too. If there's interest, I could make the board layout and have them made (there's a 5 piece MOQ) U1, U2, U3 : CD4021B Edited May 10, 2022 by Nikolas_A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kercheiz Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Interesting! So it's only made of shift registers?? There isn't any microcontroller in the Warthog/Virpils? Edited May 14, 2022 by Kercheiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolas_A Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 This is just the grip PCB. You have to connect it to the Cougar base or an alternative controller like an Arduino, see this project: https://github.com/uriba107/fcc_controller/blob/master/src/Controller/Fcc3/fcc3.h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper1970 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Look here in this thread. There are also boards mentioned which have 24 or even more functions. You can get the eagle files and do them by your own or you can order them. There is also another guy which offers shift registers , which are completely ready to use (second link).

Sokol1_br Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Depends on where (corner of the world) you live can order PCB from OSPark, Debelestis upload there layout for 8, 16, 24, 32* button CD4021 Shift Register boards. *Can chain boards for more buttons, e.g. four for 128. https://oshpark.com/profiles/Debolestis Or download the file for DIY, order the PCB from another PCB service. An detail to observe, you need a USB controller with support for CD4021 Shift Register, e.g. Freejoy and MMjoy2 firmwares for STM32f103 and Arduino PRO Micro, Micro Teensy 2.0, ++2.0 cards.

Johan4668 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Question.. Thrustmaster base and custom stick.. in joy.cpl the buttons are not working and flickering... i use debolestis print 8 register 1 10k resistor and CD4021BE.. can someone help me on that? dis there a difference between 4021 chips? gr Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
