Flight Simulator Throttle Quadrant

# Intro Hi guys. First, thanks to [FlightSimMaker](https://www.thingiverse.com/flightsimmaker/designs) for the original concept. I've done this remix to fit my style and to upgrade it if needed. I wanted to add some buttons as we have the space for that ! ----------------------- # Part list **What you will need:** * 2 x **Potentiometer** (i used 10K, it should work between 1K to 30K. [eBay](https://www.ebay.fr/itm/2Pcs-Panel-Pot-B10K-Linear-Taper-Rotary-Potentiometer-10K-Ohm-New-Ic-fa/132615239261)) * 4 x **Push Button** ([eBay](https://www.ebay.fr/itm/5Pcs-16mm-3A-250V-Metal-Waterproof-Push-Button-Momentary-Horn-Switch-Self-Reset/192593620647)) * **Wires** (i advise you to use some silicon wires as they are more easy to use and less fragile. [eBay](https://www.ebay.fr/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=silicon+wire+black+22awg&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=2&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_odkw=silicon+wire+black+22awg+5m&LH_BIN=1)) * **Printed Parts (see below)** * **M3 screws (10 x M3 10mm, 1 or 2 x M3 12-16mm)** ----------------------- # Printed Parts **You have to print those parts:** * **Base.stl x 1** * **Bolt.stl x 1** * **Gear.stl x 2** * **Leg.stl x 2 (supports needed)** * **Nut.stl x 2** * **Plate.stl x 1** * **Spacer.stl x 1** * **Wire Cap.stl x 1** Then you have **2 options**. You can choose the version with 2 different levers (1 tall 1 smaller), or the version with the same levers (2 tall levers). **Option 1, print those parts:** * **Lever 1.stl x 1 (supports needed)** * **Lever 1 Knob.stl x 1** * **Lever 2.stl x 1 (supports needed)** * **Lever 2 Knob.stl x 1** **Option 2, print those parts:** * **Lever BIS.stl x 2 (supports needed)** * **Lever BIS Knob.stl x 2** ---------------------- # Assembly For the assembly, you can do as in the video of FlightSimMaker [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETZZYA-l5lQ) **There is some differences however:** * You don't need glue in my version, you screw the legs to the plate with M3 x 10mm. * You have to insert the pushbuttons into the plate. * You don't really need grease, but if you feel some hard point, you can simply use a small spay of WD40 for the bolt once assembled. * I designed a wire cap to let the micro usb cable go into the box, then hold the cable * The box is made with an angle, more convenient on my mind. ---------------------- # Wiring **Here is an image showing you how to wire all together:** [Wiring Diagram](https://mega.nz/file/5hYEnaKT#Do_0LLvn8MpcwfsK564IMBSMZMiB1nlqBuKjJ7Wu6z0) ---------------------- # Code **This is the code you have to upload with the Arduino IDE on your Arduino Pro Micro 32U4.** [Throttle Quadrant Code](https://pastebin.com/sA26rfCC) ---------------------- # Outro Hope those explanations are clear for eveyone ! This project seems complicated but really, it's not. If you experience some problems, feel free to ask me !
