Rumble pack project

[BIGNEWY]

HI all

 

Wanted to get some advice for using rumble packs, does anyone use them ?

 

I have salvaged some from an old controller, and they work when powered via USB 5V.

 

I would like to interface them into my pit during a trigger pull to get a rumble in my stick, but I obviously do not want to wire them into my WH :)

 

 

Question:

Has anyone got any suggestions on how I could interface them to work on a button push via windows ?

 

I would want to activate them when button 6 is activated on my warthog stick

Phidgets LED-Board to get the 5 Volt via USB and helios (or maybe not) to trigger the phidgets port.

 

Just an idea .... ?!

Thanks for the reply Tom,

 

I think it is time to save for a phidgets board, I do have a Arduino but its way over my head :music_whistling:

I have on the phidgetsboard my landing gear knob with 3 LEDs connected, no problem. So this little motors should also work. I have a clock with an arduino , but a friend programmed it ... not my thing :cry:
