USB-Shifter / analog HandBrake Combo

thingiverse

Arduino based shifter/handbrake combo for PC.  For this project i got inspiration from Amstudio's handbrake projects. https://amstudioprojects.com/handbrakes/ The Handbrake sketch for Arduino is from him. Arduino sketch for shifter come from the Thingiverse thing:2246728 by jjamieallen. Idea for Shifter style come from Thingiverse thing:4557771 by bbeavis. For Arduino download Shifter_Handbrake_master.zip I included Joystick libaries for Arduino by Matthew Heironimus. Copy Joystick folder to Arduino libaries. Then Upload Sketch to Arduino Pro Micro. The tolerance for bearings is 0.1mm, i.e. for the 16mm bearing the diameter of the hole for the bearing in arms is 16.2mm. The TPU I used was a NinjaTek Cheetah, but at least for handles it would have been worth using a softer TPU. More Info from the manual. My first Handbrake spring was 100mm long but too soft, next was better but 86mm long so I made HB front wall 2 - part for shorter spring.
