Prop/Mix/Radiator Quadrant by Italianmoose

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

A simplified remix of Fergobirck's lovely quadrant. I just wanted Prop/Mix/Radiator axes and a load of buttons. I've given the controls a bit more stiffness with hairy string and tightly bolting the potentiometers together. I've also extended the clamps a bit, my desk is very thick.
I printed at 0.4 mm, rough and ready prints to go with my hideously untidy wiring. Arduino sketch also included, you'll need the usb joystick library. Again some customisation of values needs to be done in the code. Not the best code either, holding buttons down results in repeat presses.
Other than the printed parts, you'll need some M3 threaded rods and bolts. I used a knockoff Arduino Pro Micro, anything based off the ATMega32U4 should do. Plus a pile of wire and some low-value pull-down resistors. Obviously this can be extended for as long as you've got a chip with enough inputs.
2020-10-11 - Updated the sketch to give better button pressing behaviour.
