I am not responsible for any damage to man and machine. Be careful when handling electronics and mechanics.

It is not allowed to use my work in a commercial way!

If you want to use it in an commercial way please contact me.

New Hardware version available version 2.0

The main branch is now V2.0 which only work with Hardware and Schematics 2.0!

JR4 has created a new hardware for this project (many thanks) and the new parts are available here

My remixes for this new hardware are available here

For the new Code with automatic calibration switch the branch to "2.0" but be careful, it's in alpha state and I am not responsible for any damage to man and machine. Be careful when handling electronics and mechanics.

The hardware is nearly the same as shown in 1.3.5 with small changes. The new Software is beeing in development, switch branch to v2.0 to see alpha version (if not visible yet than updated soon) and see Wiki for updated Schematic.

This project is still in development and will be extend constantly.

It shows how to create a force feedback yoke (and later pedals) for using with Flight Simulator. It consist of 3d components, electronic schematics and arduino source code.

See Wiki for more info.

Please read the Issues before begin!

Important Info

If you want to use more than one Arduino Joysticks you have to change the Joystick.h file JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID number to different number Example:

#define JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID 0x04

Also you can define the USB Name of the Joystick by changing the boards.txt file normally found in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\boards.txt

or

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.5\boards.txt

find:

micro.build.vid=0x2341

micro.build.pid=0x8037

micro.build.usb_product="Arduino Micro"

and change it to (use at your own risk), you can comment out the old value by using a Rhombus symbol

micro.build.vid=0x9998

micro.build.pid=0x9998

micro.build.usb_product="Arduino FFB Yoke"

Calibration

The newest Version of the code uses a calibration routine for measure the Potentiometer Values on all directions. I will be started by pressing the calibration button. Everything you need to know will be displayed on the LCD Screen.
