Desktop Twin Engine Throttle for Flight Simulation

prusaprinters

This Throttle goes along with my G1000 setup.It's main feature is the simple design and slim layout which (unlike regular Throttle quadrants) fits on a desktop. Instead of rotary potentiometers and a clumsy gear mechanism it uses 100mm ALPS linear audio potentiometers and ergonomic handles. Further a thumbstick, an encoder and several switches, buttons and LEDs are provided for individual configuration.The housing is prepared for an Arduino Leonardo and gives enough room for individual wiring.For mounting the Thumbstick a small PCB is used. Gerber data for online ordering (e.g. at JLCPCB) are included.Alternatively use the provided blank panel for your own hardware configuration and add holes as required.Example software and a part list can be found at https://github.com/MartinRusk/ThrottleRecommended material is black PLA+ from FilamentPM.
