!! Do not print this (yet) !!

Small Update 20.09.2022:

Pictures of the MVP are now up, and I still have some software bugs, but everything mostly works. The parts uploaded can build a throttle, but I'm still far from the finished product.

I also have a (possibly) elegant solution for notched flaps, speedbrakes etc., but I'm currently waiting for a shipment of magnets that I need to test my idea :)

Update 04.09.2022:

This is still not a finished project, but it is nearing beta stage so to speak, I am currently working on printing and building a minimum viable product (MVP) and will add photos of it soon :)

I've finally managed to spend some more time refining the idea. I have revised the assembly method to use threaded inserts and added some components. I have also uploaded a .zip file of all CAD files, just keep in mind that I used Siemens NX to design it, so you might not be able to open them correctly.

A lot of features are still missing, and I am trying to work out a solution

Things that do not work yet:

  • PCB manufacturing
  • Mounts for electronics inside the enclosure
  • Desk mount for quadrant
  • Notched Flaps/Speedbreaks/Throttles

Things that are partly solved:

  • Trim wheel (rectangular cutout in button panel) 
  • Modular lever system

Original Text:

This is a prototype for a modular 6-axis throttle quadrant for flight simulators. It is still in early phases of design. 

Possible Configurations (inspired by Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant):

  • General Aviation single engine (Throttle, Prop (optional), Mixture)
  • GA twin engine (Throttle x2, Prop x2, Mixture x2)
  • Commercial Aviation (Speedbrakes, Engines 1-4, Flaps)
  • And many more…

Things that are already done:

  • Arduino Pro Micro + code
  • Geared Potentiometers
  • Adjustable resistance of levers
  • General structure
  • PCB layout

Things that do not work yet:

  • PCB manufacturing
  • Mounts for electronics inside the enclosure
  • Desk mount for quadrant
  • Trim wheel (rectangular cutout in button panel)
  • Modular lever system

If you have any questions or suggestions, I'd appreciate if you left a comment :D
I'll try to leave updates on my progress
