    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

    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

      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.

    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

    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.

      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.
