Mnemonic Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Hi Guys, I couldn't find any good advice of how-to-do or ready-to-buy solution on how to use HOTAS Cougar throttle autonomously from the stick. I don't want to re-solder anything in the device itself, so I could use it also together with stick. I'm rather looking for an adapter (Throttle-to-USB) which would be physically compact enough, and could do the job. I understand it will make the throttle not compatible with TARGET or FOXY software, but whatever, I would be happy if it could be recognized in Windows as separate joystick, and have all the axes and buttons. P.S. Also, if somebody can do this kind of adapter for reasonable price, I am interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoilfx Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 You wouldn't need to resolder but you'd need to buy bunch of a jumper cables and something like BU0836X (HID controller with enough input pins), read the diagram here http://cougar.flyfoxy.com/images/Terrapin/tqs_diag.jpg , rip out the existing circuit board, then it's wiring time! The connector shown is the 24pin connector inside the throttle. It looks daunting but it's very doable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recoilfx Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Actually i think it's time for me to tidy up my throttle too - I ordered a 2x12 2.54mm flat cable from Ebay. It should be the right pitch. I'll write out how to attach each cable to a BU08386X when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
