USB Flight Controller / Joystick with Four Axes
Description
With the new flight simulator coming out this fall 2020, it is about time to make your own **JOYSTICK**! # Description This is a **3D printed fully functional flight control joystick**. The usb interface is managed by an Arduino Micro (or compatible board). The axes movements are detected via 10k potentiometers. To print and assemble this you don't need to know a lot of programming or electronics skills. The software uses the Joystick 1.0 library from Matthew Heironimus (https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary/tree/version-1.0 included in the JoystickControlSoftware.zip file).With all parts, the joystick will cost something between 20 and 50 €, depending on how cheap you can get your hands on parts. # Printing All Parts were printed in PETG from different vendors (Prusament and extrudr) # Slicer STL files were sliced with PrusaSlicer # Orientation All STL-files are oriented in optimal print orientation. # Resolution Most pieces were printed with **0.15 mm** resolution (*0.15 mm Quality MK3* in PrusaSlicer) . Larger Pieces were printed with **0.3 mm** resolution (*0.30 mm Draft MK3* in PrusaSlicer) for time reasons: - Stick_L - Stick_R - Throttle_L - Throttle_R - Bottom_Plate # Support Some pieces **have** to be printed with support: - Rubber_Platform - Stick_R - Stick_L # Assembly Full assembly of the joystick is shown on Instructables https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-USB-Flight-Controller-Joystick-With-Fou/ # Design The Joystick was designed from scratch in Blender. The source file including all objects (including screws, potentiometers, buttons and the arduino) is attached as well. I might still add a case, but maybe first I#ll add some more buttons, after playing hours of flightsim and figuring out what else I will need. Feel free now to add your own buttons and make this nice project work!
