This is a fully operational Simchair MKIII compatible remix of a very nice B8 flight stick replica, originally by schrodingers_cat. It is designed for use with a new i2c controller(https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2919692). It contains an Arduino Pro Micro inside (sketch included). The trigger has 2 positions: half-press (intercom) and full-press with a click (radio push to talk). When the trigger is fully pressed, a half-press button is disabled by the software, so your sim will see these two positions as completely separate buttons.
You will need:
1 x Arduino pro mini board
1 x KY-023 joystick module
1 x USBtoCOM adapter (e.g. PL2303) or another Arduino to program it
3 x PBS-11B buttons
1 x PBS-10B-2 button (trigger intercom)
1 x 12x12x4.3mm TS-1202 button (https://goo.gl/mjpt6T) (trigger PTT)
some wires
1 x m8 x 75 bolt and nut
1m of UTP-5e cable
1m of 10mm aluminum square pipe
6 x m3x20 screws and nuts
1 x m3x40 screw for trigger mounting
1 x Simchair MKIII I2C controller (Arduino Leonardo based) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2919692)
1 x Simchair MKIII cyclic gimbal V2 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2917209)
PTT TS-1202 button is glued with superglue to the left half part just under the PBS-10B2 tip, which goes into the trigger.
Adjust stick height to your liking, cut the aluminum pipe accordingly, then route an ethernet cable through the pipe and crimp it as a usual ethernet cable.
