FS Macro Panel : Enclosure completed and fully assembled for the first time
Просмотров 3923 года назад
Over the past few weeks I've been creating the parts to be able to assemble the enclosure for my Flight Sim Macro Panel project. Along with the new laser cut and 3d printed parts, this also includes a revised PCB with red green LEDs for the buttons. See my last video where I show it linked working with FS2020. I've also been doing a few updates for the software to add a little extra functionali...

FS Macro Panel / Flight Simulator 2020 Input Device [WIP]
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.4 года назад
I'd been considering this project for some time, but with the release of Flight Simulator 2020 it was clear that it would benefit from having some extra buttons and physical rotary encoders. Originally I was going to simply use an Arduino Micro using HID so it would act like a keyboard or joystick. However I quickly wanted to add more features and the idea of having to create a control profile ...
Xbox One Controller Repair - Bumper Switches [DIY] [Soldering]
Просмотров 45 тыс.5 лет назад
In this video I show all of the steps required to replace the switch for a bumper button. This fixes a problem where a bumper button is not working or works intermittently and it doesn't appear to be physically damaged. This fix requires patience, an interest in DIY and soldering/de-soldering tools! These tools can almost cost the same as a new controller, however once you have them, the switch...

Arduino (ATMega328) IoT RF / IR switch (old project)
Просмотров 4149 лет назад
This was my first home automation project which started out running from an Arduino Uno, then converted to it's own PCB using the ATMega328P-PU chip. It's a very simple system - the sketch polls a web server for commands, these can either be RF or IR codes. A command can also be scheduled for a later time and repeat by hour/day/week/month if required, so you can make it turn on a light at a cer...

Uff why did you destroyed the Sticker...😬
Podría usar mi pistola de calor?
Is there a way to show values for HDG, VS, ALT, SPEED as you adjust the knobs? Also is it plug and play?Any plans for bigger screen version?
Does it work with X-plane?
Currently this is only for MSFS, It would be nice to expand support but there's no set plan for that atm
Why xbox bumper switch sucks 😭
where can we obtain these???
did he ever respond. I screwed up and have a five-inch desktop .
@@tomhughes9639 Hi Tom, I have updated the description with a link to 3d printable files however it's limited to ~34mm thick desks. I was mainly just seeing if it would work. If you think it would be of interest I may consider re-designing it and add it to my etsy store. It's not as strong as the original mount, but if you're using the controls normally/not excessively you don't encounter movement.
@@peterthefoxx thanks. Unfortunately my desk top is five inch thick. So was looking at yours only bigger. Will keep looking. Blue skys.😏
@@peterthefoxx bad idea trying to SELL on a crappy etsy store ..keep it free..ALL my STL designs will ALWAYS be free...cant stand people killing tbe 3D print community by selling STL files 😤
Hi, i read in the description about the right angle you used 6x6x4.5. But i cant seam to find that sieze. The only thing i found was 6x6x5mm at the Swedish amazon. For Xbox 360/xbox one will that sieze work?
Great tutorial, replaced both buttons on my controller thanks to it. It's awful how low quality the switches are, I have less than 50h of use on the controller. Btw, you don't need to take off the bumper covers, the small front plate can slide over them.
please just talk it out my guy. following along in silence is impossible.
really wish you'd talk us through what your pushing. I've tried slowing it down to follow along but its not easy to see
how do we contact you ? many thanks
tnx, yesterday repired my mouse, ur video was helpfull
🦀
What size button do I need to use? Its 6*6*5?
Yeah I believe that’s correct. It’s the most common right-angle tactile switch you’ll find typically.
Thanks! I ordered new omron switches, but by the time they were delivered I forgot how to put it all back together. Your vid has helped me out :)
Order Placed..! Outstanding job
Nice :D
What????? Kkk
1:03 what did you do here????
I used my nail to lift & unclip the button from its position, the final attempt is shown but some failed attempts where cut. For the other side you see I used a screw driver instead to do the same thing, it is a bit easier this way however be careful not to damage the circuit board though!
You are the best. Thanks from Russia: Спасибо, брат.
Peter, thanks for the vid, how do you go about finding the part numbers for components? The switch you listed is no longer manufactured and I’m trying to determine how you found the specifications for this switch to order an equivalent…
Hey, I've now updated the amazon link in the description with a more specific search term, but ebay or electronics suppliers may be cheaper. This switch is a standard form factor so it can be replaced with switches from other manufacturers or suppliers, it's 6mm x 6mm x 4.5mm. Some listings may say 6.3mm or similar but it's a common part so they should be compatible.
Damn, I don't have/know how to solder! 😭
I had same issue and I soldered the RB switch in. Though, the issue still persists. Any ideas what could have happened?
I’ve got the same issue myself
Do you know if all 4 of those contacts are used? I want to hook an arcade switch in place of that for pinball but those microswitches only have 2 wires.
The two pins closer to the edge of the controller are for the switch so you’ll just want to use those, the other two/larger ones just attach to the switch casing so they shouldn’t be connected
I did this and the replacement button did not work at all. Could I have broken that part of the circuit board when de-soldering? I was at it for a while, since I had a cheap plastic vacuum pump that didn't really help. I am going to try another button replacement, maybe I installed a dud. Otherwise, I may have ruined that part of the board?
If heat is a applied for too long it could cause damage to the pad or trace on the board, if you have a multimeter you could check the switch itself using the continuity mode between the two smaller pins on the switch. It should trigger the continuity test while the button is pressed - it is a bit fiddly to do unfortunately. Typically it should be rare to get an issue with new tactile buttons though. The other possibility is that the new solder didn’t adhere fully, could try adding a little more solder, making sure the joint looks like it merges onto the bird and the pin avoiding a ball of solder on the surface.
have you heard about Mobiflight?
Mobiflight is a great system! For this I was looking to make something all-in-one that I could leave on my desk. So the custom hardware and software makes this work and lets me optimise it for this setup.
Hi, I do have the same really annoying issue with my controller and if I blow in it, it works better, but my mouth is getting tired of doing it over every time... It is so annoying! Do you maybe know if an Xbox 360 controller does have the same part? So I can take an old Xbox 360 controller to switch that button part to my Xbox one controller? 😁
I think the 360 does have the same type of switch. I have only seen it from photos, I haven’t opened up a 360 controller personally though
@@peterthefoxx hi, thanks for the reaction!!! I've been tested it today and it works!!! It does have the exact same part, so now I can finally play like it should be 😁
@@peterthefoxx but after a few weeks, the exact same problem is coming back 😫 how bad is this quality they use... And how even can this happen? It began clicking Dibble again and in the meanwhile it is going to be wearse and wearse.
This is the best video i have seen so far when it comes to bumper fixing. What if you do have a sod machine. Im so screwed. Tired of buying controllers.
Thanks! The de-soldering iron (and soldering iron) are necessary really. You can try to use solder wick instead but I’ve found that to be much harder.
Nice Job. perhaps you may have Ideas for a VR version that can be easily operated by feel?
Thanks! That’s a good idea - I recently released an update that allow you to assign buttons to go to the different modes - I have been able to use this to use it completely by feel. I’ll be making a demo video of this soon
Some key points that have been raised which may help with a smooth assembly: At 2:03, it's important to try and get the screen's header flush with the PCB and perpendicular before soldering all pins. At 3:09, Make sure to gently press down on the screen when soldering the first pin, this will help it rest firmly on the orange spacers, avoiding gaps above or below them to ensure it all fits in neatly later.
What display are you using ? Is it oled display?
Yep, it's a colour oled display 128x128px
hello, how much does it cost ?
Hi! I have added a form and some information on the website linked in the description in case you are interested. The Kickstarter is now closed and I’m working to fulfil the rewards from that before starting on further orders however.
Very good
Are the tactical switches the same in 360 controllers? If so I'm going to use one from an old controller for the xbox one.
Win 10 pls?
Fantastic. I will be placing a backing shortly on Kickstarter. Cant wait to see this in use with TrackIR. Could even work well for VR perhaps with some addon 'braile esque' button cover caps to identify different buttons/functions (when in VR).
To think I almost bought a streamdeck / loupdeck... What an amazing product you are developing, keep going !
amazing!!
Hi, thank you for the video. Really well done. I took a right trigger housing off and the black wire has come away from the solder. There is no bare wire showing, do you just hold the wire in place and solder and it will get a connection (like the plastic part will melt)? Any help would be grateful, mum of a controller destroying son. He burns through controllers. Have 4 originals to try and fix and also like 6 3rd party ones I can take parts off. 😏
Hi! Thanks! The plastic may shrink from the heat exposing a bit of the wire so you can see if it will work before trying to solder it down, I’ve seen others do this but I think there’s quite a technique to it and it hasn’t quite worked out for me - I’ve always had to strip some of the plastic off the wire. I use a small automatic wire stripper but there’s probably some good guides for other ways to do wire stripping on RUclips too. Hope this helps!
Peter Fox ok, thank you for replying. 😀
2 questions if you dont mind, What do you think was wrong with the first switch? What would cause a switch to feel squishy and lose its click but still work correctly with every press ?
Hey, not too sure - the inside of these switches is a metal dome that springs - usually the operation fails before the click: you may be interested in a tear down of this style of switch: ruclips.net/video/sdLm08zfE4g/видео.html
A great knobster alternative!!!
The G1000 interaction is made possible by a module created by Mobiflight - check them out! Links in the description. While this device doesn't run on mobiflight, it's able to interact with the FS2020 module they created which adds the G1000 controls - previously inop in the Simconnect API.
awasome!
7 years no problem , just the same as my girlfriend , as Trevokable said smack it on the bottom a few times and it springs back into action . Yep it'll be dust inside , if you can't open it get a teck , or a gynecologist depending on your particular problem. LOL .
thumbs up but nah... if i try to do this i'll probabbly going to set controller on fire.
I think I’ll just get a new controller...
After baptizing my mouse with Sprite this helped a lot, especially to see which type of ZIF socket the side buttons are :)
Great work! Can you also control G1000 avionics functions like the FMS knobs, pan/zoom knob, and softkeys? I'm also in the midst of trying to come up with something similar using mobiflight software and an arduino board, but my knowledge with electronics ain't that great. You should definitely make kits available, even just the parts list with PCB/enclosure cad files.
Thanks! It doesn’t work for the G1000 knobs or buttons yet sadly, these are in the API and I’ve tried them but sadly they don’t bind to the simulator yet. Asobo have the G1000 bindings as a bug on their wish list marked as ‘started’ so I’m eagerly awaiting that with the hope it will resolve it for this too! In the meantime I’m working on making it available so watch this space ;)
Please help won't work at all!! I have the 2ne revision XB One (the one with 1 piece bumpers line) I bought XB1/360 replacment buttons, they arrived looking different (no bottom plate on both sides). After soldering nothing happens, tried old switch nothing yet again. What could be the issue?! I can hear a click but it doesn't respond! Maybe the front? Where is it connecting exactly and closing a loop?
Can I take the LB button from another controller and place it in RB?
Yep! LB and RB use the same switch type.
