Flight Simulator Throttle Quadrant -- Read Description please --

!! 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
