Real simulator grip owner appeal

[markturner1960]

Hi - when I got my F18 grip, it shipped with an additional cable for use to power up the grip without attaching to a base, see screenshot. I never had a use for mine until now, and now I need another. I am asking any owners who do not use the cable if they would be prepared to sell to me? 
 

let me know, thanks

Have you asked RS to sell you one ?

I have, yes, but apparently, they dont have any spare, its possible they can get one next order batch, but they dont know when that will be........hence my request

Eventually you might ask them how the connections are set on that cable and build one yourself.

In that case you can buy a cable like this : https://www.amazon.com/XMSJSIY-Pigtail-Transmission-Connector-Replacement/dp/B0C22PYPZY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=usb+5+pin+cable&qid=1703239849&sr=8-4

And a connector like this one : https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832673434114.html

Quite a cheap alternative.

I have just realised that my idea has a flaw.....the grips will need a main control board, they cant interface directly to the PC via USB cable..........So that will need adding to the equation. So actually that type of cable will not work........Damn. Will need to get something fabricated

If you don‘t need full functionality, you could use a Warthog Base PCB.
