Flyoff Handbrake Adapter for Simulators

thingiverse

Here's an adapter to utilize a linear potentiometer in a Chinese fly-off handbrake. You'll need a specific type of handbrake: https://bit.ly/2DNrP8w. It's designed for an RS45112A400G potentiometer and an Arduino Pro Micro. To assemble it, you'll require some M8 bolts and nuts. I fabricated a 3mm steel plate, attached the handbrake to it, and then secured it under the G27 shifter using clamps. To move the potentiometer, I employed two large washers. The cylinder already contains a spring, so it automatically returns to its original position. This setup utilizes the ProMicro Case from Jonas Karg on the side. This project was inspired by a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv0FTpRLFMY. It demonstrates how to connect the Arduino (you can use thinner wires if you prefer).
