Hey, I’m just curious, what would the cost be to buy a left and right one pre built? Like, already wired and all coding done?
@@TheEaglePilot Hi there, I have already sold the pair in the video however I could make another batch if you are interested! Shoot me an email at questions@thesimnet.com and we can work out cost of materials, shipping, etc. Cheers!
I could think of one cheap force transducer. Do you know the pointing stick on Lenovo/IBM laptops? The red "mouse" in between the keys. I think that uses one. They are fairly cheap too, about $20
Hello, I have a real strike eagle right controller from the real jet. If you want more info and specifications get in contact with me.
That's awesome! Could I ask you to shoot me an email? It's questions@thesimnet.com
Is that an F-20 we can see at the start of the video???
Good eye! 👀
When I try to upload the rr_controller software to my arduino via the Arduino IDE I get :
C:\Users\\Downloads
r_configurator
r_controller\Inputs.ino:35:10: fatal error: Joystick.h: No such file or directory
#include "Joystick.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
hi TheSimNet question can you make a tutorial how to design in 3d print. Flight stick because I'm going to make a jas39c gripen and the flght stick don't exist yet.
your diy solution is two 2x strain gauge and 2x HX711 an arduno pro micro quite cheap and an aluminum SQUARE PIPE 10x10mm that you glue strain gauge
hello, do you have the step file for the F-5 tiger extension? because I would like to modify it because I have the B8 grip with thrustmaster thread version, so I would like the possibility to modify the upper part for this thread and also make a slot for the shift register card at the inside the extension, the same principle as you did on your F-15 extension project.
In PM if you want
Would you be willing to sell a full kit already assembled?
Hey brother great work, i bought and printed one of the hand controllers. Next for paint and wiring. One quick question. I love your stick designs bu cant use them as I have an x56. Do you plan on making an adapter or a variation for use on the x56 base? If you did, id happily pay for the STL.
What wire did you use for soldering?
thank you for this video, for the wiring, what diameter is used? i'm having trouble understanding the bom please.
I used standard dupont connector based wires of various diameters, really just whatever I had laying around. The springs in the trigger mechanism have specific diameters to ensure they trigger the buttons at the right time as well.
With linking the 2 arduinos, could the same method be used to link a pro micro and a arduino uno r4 while maintaining the hid on the pro micro?
I have not tried that personally, but others have mentioned that there are breakout shift register boards that can connect to an arduino pro micro and expand the inputs
Great project! Is one for the F16 Throttle planned?! Have you considered SLS Printing instead of FDM? DSD would be happy to ship you some of our easy to use 32 button controllers to help make the F16 throttle a reality!
Good news there is an excellent F-16 throttle design available for free by JFlyer on Thingiverse, and there is a thrustmaster F-16 throttle coming out soon as well!
what about alps hat switches will increase the price but well worth it
Absolutely - I will be updating the cults page to include the alternate build with the ALPS 8 way switch and archemides PCB once I receive the parts I need! Great suggestion
Do you have a vid of wiring up to the 5 pin mini din and how you have mounted it in the grip.
11:37 According to the Razbam manual, the switches are on both controllers, with the LHC having the countermeasures dispensing functionality, and the right one being the "AAI / NCTR / EWWS" switch.
Thank you for the clarification - misunderstood that section on my part!
@@thesimnet No worries, it happens. FWIW the relevant part is on page 96, 3.4 Rear Cockpit Hand Controllers. =)
Excellent video! Definitely building one of your stick variants and incorporating ideas back into my F5 console.
Hello, I would like to know if you share in MP the stl files of the F-5 extension because it interests me because I am looking for this type of expansion?
Hello, it is available for free download here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5764003/files
Specifically TheSimNet_F5E_Extension.stl
You will also need TheSimNet_Nut.stl
and TheSimNet_Nut_Holder.stl
If I make these using the 2x Arduinos, does this mean I need to run the RealRobots Configurator whenever I want to use the hand controllers, or once just to establish the axis and buttons?
Great question - just once!
Is it possible to wire your grips for a VKB gunfighter base?
I don't own a VKB base, however I do believe that there is a VKB/Thrustmaster converter out there, that could work potentially. I have a 3d [rinted adapter in the files of the B-8 grip on thingiverse
thanks for updating the BOM
Awesome video! Small point though, I think you really should have the momentary 2-way sliders on both grips, both the F-15E manual for DCS and an IRL dito lists both as having that.
Thank you for the clarification!
hello again i would recommend you update the p1 replica switch for realism... mainly the dimensions arent 100% correct you can find the dimensions on mouser electronics also maybe you could add some spring system so who wants could modify it to requires 4 lbs of force like the real one.. and maybe you could add an more realistic/replacement cap mine got damaged during shipping? edit: i think you removed the link to the clamp while updating the BOM
Awesome. Job, i bought your stls. How does adruino fit in? You kinda skipped it. I am a little confused ? Thanks
awesome project man, im printing this myself. How and where did you mount the adruinos?
Thanks Neo! I inserted the arduino's through the hole in the base, however there is no specific mounting point
@@thesimnet ah ok , so they are just free floating in there? Also you are using 2 Adruinos because of button number Limitation on one? How many total button inputs do we need?
@@neok23 Yes that is correct! It gets quite dense with all the wires but I am experimenting with mounting methods for future grips (see F-15E front seat grip). It's 21 buttons and 2 axis. You could also use 1 arduino and a button matrix, however that can get tricky for absolute beginners!
How du you printet this stick in one piece?
I recommend a raft and supports for the top of the trigger hole, about 1cm across on each side
where can I find info about connecting two Arduinos together? that sounds like a game changing development for me.
prewired shift registers are expensive and wiring them myself takes time and they always end up being far too large.
adding Arduinos is a much cheaper option.
Absolutely, I learned it here: ruclips.net/video/yAuzYRg4N38/видео.html
here it is: ruclips.net/video/yAuzYRg4N38/видео.html&ab_channel=realrobots
thanks for leading me to this. absolutely brilliant! thank you.
@@thesimnet sorry to pester you but it says you can daisy chain Arduinos together but i cannot find which pins to connect the third Arduino to. or do they just all connect to the same pins?
connect all the SDA pins together and all the SCL together on all 3 Arduinos? is that right?
edit - I found the answer on another video.
the answer is YES - all devices share the same pins 2 and 3 (SDA and SCL) so wire them all in parallel.
@@thesimnet me again. I hope you don't mind.
am I correct in understanding that you can use Arduino Nano for the secondary "child" controllers so long as the master is an Arduino ProMicro?
I hope this is correct as the nano is much cheaper than the ProMicro
On the other hand, is it possible to have the f-5 extension modified, to accommodate the shift register card inside and on the upper part to have a screw thread with the thrustmaster diameter?
Yes I am working on something along those lines! Cheers
@@thesimnet very good 👍
I worked on a very sturdy and thick model, if you want I can provide you with the files in pm if you are interested 😉
Looks awesome! Dumb question, what 3D printer did you use to make this? Looked at getting something similar printed by a service, and it seems to get expensive quick!
I use a Voxelab Aries! I got it on sale on Amazon, it has served me very well. I was an absolute beginner so I needed something that would work out of the box, no complaints!
Where can I get the B-6 grip?
The B-6 grip will be released for free on thingiverse later this summer: www.thingiverse.com/thesimnet/designs
@@thesimnet Awesome, Thank you!
Hi, could you make a detailed video on how to assemble the trigger? I have not seen in this video how you assemble it internally
Solved
HOw did you solve it?
This is the same HCU as the LANTRN in the Tomcat Isn't it?
Very close! The Lantirn HCU has an additional button on the faceplate and the TDC is in the middle as well as a few other small differences. I do plan on making the F-14 version as well!
@@thesimnet Cool, I'll hang on for that one then!
I paid for the stick of the f15 wso iam going to have the stick ir just I paid for the file
Hello, as mentioned on your comment on my Cults3D page, this is a .STL file you can 3D print, *not* a physical item for sale. If you purchased the files in error, you can request a refund.
it’s obviously a file, it literally spells that out for you at checkout - did you not see the massive “DOWNLOAD YOUR FILE” button? Lmao
