Looking to build my own joystick, thinking 6-axis, a hat, maybe a track ball and or a touchpad as well as a throttle axis or two.
Anyone know of any good flight sim type stick prints?
Something like https://hackaday.com/2020/09/03/3d-printed-flight-controls-use-magnets-for-enhanced-flight-simulator-2020-experience/
For trackballs I recommend checking out the ploopy. Not the easiest to scratch build, but certainly possible. Also the kits are pretty nice.
What’s wrong with the one in the article?
It is not something I have tried as a project. About the closest I’ve gotten is printing ergonomic extensions to attach to a typical computer mouse to stop me from mouse-death-grip fatigue (certified medical condition) when I’m working on CAD projects for too long.
Real time programming for several hall sensors would scare me away from this before I start. GL
Nothing wrong. Looking for more examples.
Do you mean a 6 axis joystick like the space mouse (rotate and move the stick in x/y/z direction)?
move the stick on the x and y, then twist the stick for z
Never heard of a space mouse
I think this is then called a 3 axis stick. The space mouse is a CAD input tool.
