Deadman Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Good luck with the stick Leafer:thumbup: I wonder how Leo's board would work for the MFCD? I am working on https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
leafer Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 You should wait to see if I'd even get the two I ordered from him. It says on his site order is shipped within 2-3 business days with a shipment confirmation via Paypal. My CC was charged and it's been four days and nothing. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

We at NovelAir have ordered several boards from Leo, I'm sure you will get them.

brydling Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 It probably was about half a year ago I think. But I don't think Leo would suddenly start fooling people. Of course, something bad could have happened.

leafer Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 The neodymium magnets use with the hall sensor, do the size of these magnets matter? Will the 5x5x5 mm be enough for the application? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Bucic Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) The neodymium magnets use with the hall sensor, do the size of these magnets matter? Will the 5x5x5 mm be enough for the application? It depends on the sensitivity of the used hall effect sensors (given in mV/G, that is milivolts per gaus). I had problems with getting enough voltage variation with a single magnet of that size but then I don't remember my hall sensitivity. Edit: Have anyone heard from Leo Bodnar recently?

leafer Posted November 10, 2010 Author Posted November 10, 2010 I'm coying DocFlyer's idea. He used 3 of 5x5x5 magnets per axis. Leo... Yeah, he does not answer emails. I had gotten an automated shipping confirmation from Paypal that the Bodnar boards were shipped on the Oct 25th but I haven't received them. However, I ordered the magnets from the United States on the Oct 28th and got them yesterday, so yeah, I am real worried. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
leafer Posted November 17, 2010 Author Posted November 17, 2010 It's been 23 days and I still have not received the two BU0836s I had ordered. I went to the post office a few times and they haven't gotten anything from the UK. They did tell me it usually takes about 20 days to get something from overseas even if it's came via airmail. But that doesn't make any sense because the two items from the US got here within two weeks. I had just sent bodnar a mail and hopefully I'll get a tracking number from him or something.

Bucic Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) In any case - not cool... As for the magnets. I'm coying DocFlyer's idea. He used 3 of 5x5x5 magnets per axis. Just because he made nice pictures it doesn't make it a correct solution. Besides, he uses them for a slider. I'm talking about magnetic power 'not being simply additive'. 2 magnets stacked will give you maybe 1.3 of single magnet's power. Maybe even not. 3 magnets stacked will generate even more 'losses'.

leafer Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 That's not good. What size magnets would you recommend for Allegro A1302EUA-T hall sensors? Come to think of it, I should have bought the TM Warthog. lol ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Sokol1_br Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Leafer, You want "USbiefied" a Suncon joystick, no? In case magnets dimensions are limited to area of original SLIDING pot. Suncom dont use conventional X Y gimbal in ours sticks. They use some "oscillatory" disc instead that make things difficult. I think that DocFlyer use of 2 5x5x5mm magnets is due these are only available to then when make your MOD. To use his tutorial you can replace this 2 5x5x5mm whit one 15x5x5 mm - if available, whit a better gauss force. Use different sizes involve in find another mechanical solution to place magnets in front HALL sensor. If you look in GranBichus work with Suncom stick in X-Plane forum you see that only thing his DONT explain is how to put magnets in front HALL sensor. Sokol1_Br
leafer Posted November 18, 2010 Author Posted November 18, 2010 Yeah, the plan is to mod my Suncom to USB. I got you on the magnet but will wait to see if the BU0836s will show up. If not, unfortunately, I'll have shelf this mod until around May. I had spent way too much and need to stop. And I am not up, skill wise, for the MJoy chalenge. Those boards had better show up because I had such high hope that, this time, I'd complete what I had set out to do for my simming pleasure. :D ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
CyBerkut Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 From what I recall seeing on forums, Leo is not particularly diligent about checking and responding to e-mail, but is good about following through on shipping sold items. I've also seen reports on more than one occasion of him going the extra mile when it comes to things like replacing a defective component, or flashing something special for somebody. I hope you get your BU0836s soon! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There's no place like 127.0.0.1
BaD CrC Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Ordered 10 Leo's cards in 4 times and it always went very well. Wouldn't be too worry about Leo, but maybe about the trip between UK and Koh Samui. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden

Sokol1_br Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Leafer, Seems that "Koh Samui" is "far, far away". :megalol: A colleague from Brazil ordered one BU0836 around November, 15 and receive last week.
