Expansion of the Taranis Pistola: A pistol grip RC controller

thingiverse

I think the Taranis Pistola by Eficker is a bloody brilliant idea. Not just for those who don't get the hang of driving surface vehicles with sticks, but as a system to replace most other pistol-style transmitters when it comes to channels and fine-tuning options. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2552696 The original design is only lacking three things that I'm trying to add to it. 1.) Support for the second gimbal 2.) Having the fourth trim rocker switch 3.) Being able to use the JR module extension As a first step, I've tried to modify the back plate so it can accept three new add-on designs by providing three different kinds of mounting options with the ability to route wires through them. Changes to the backplate so far are: 1.) Cloning the third rocker switch location for the fourth 2.) Adding a mounting spot on the left side 3.) Adding a mounting spot on the right side 4.) Adding a mounting spot behind the PCB 5.) Freeing up the rear mounting spots to be able to screw into them from the outside The JR module bay is based off of dmyers7's design. I've modified the backplate so it can be mounted directly to the back of the Taranis Pistola. It will use the lower mounting holes of the PCB and won't block the rocker switches or the antenna outlet. I don't know how to mount the cables yet, but I'll figure that out eventually. The bay itself is now secure via two screws to the backplate. This thing is a purely theoretical thing at the moment, and very much WIP since I haven't yet received my X7 and the other parts are still not done printing. So I have no clue if it will even fit where I've placed the mounting spots. You've been warned.
