Description
For a while I've been playing flight simulation games using a normal flight stick and my keyboard/mouse.
But I got sick of this and started researching the cost of a HOTAS throttle joystick and found that these are absurdly priced.
After that I started with a simple breadboard, an Arduino Micro, a PS2 thumb joystick and some buttons.
Using the Adafruit Joystick library I was able to very easily make a prototype joystick with which I could control my vehicles in games.
But I've got a 3D printer, so using it on a breadboard is no fun. Time to design a case for it!
Included are all files needed to make the general joystick, including the specific adapter I used for my potentiometers.
The total amount of inputs on this device are 14 buttons, 2 axis for the thumbstick and 1 axis for the throttle itself.
Don't have a printer yourself? Contact me on my Etsy store and I'll be happy to print it for you:
