While this gimbal is perfectly fine if you don't need stick centering, I strongly suggest using this version instead, with springs and the corresponding force trim mode:

This is an improved cyclic gimbal for the Simchair MKIII. It is quite similar to v1 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2795753) except for added mechanical calibration capability and completely changed electronics. It uses an ADS1115 16-Bit ADC for its axes and connects to a new Arduino Leonardo powered master controller through i2c. Of course, it can still be used with an UnoJoy based controller, but I recommend switching to a Leo powered one (will be released soon). B8 stick that was a part of the v1 package is now fully functional and has moved to a separate package (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2918906)
