Hey Michael, I love the design, me and my friends are trying to design a joystick using hall sensors, the idea is to make it open source so others can build on it, £500 for a high end joystick is crazy. The way yours resets is pretty unique and used on higher end Virpil joysticks and I'm wondering if we can use your design as a base and work from there, will make sure we credit you for the design. Thanks.
Hi Michael, Awesome design. Re the potentiometer for position input. In a compact design like this the range of travel for each axis is not going to use the full throw of each potentiometer. That will effect your resolution ( how arcuately the movement is translated to code and then to movement). I know you follow Tom Stanton, so I suggest that you have a look at his design where he uses Hall sensors in place of potentiometers to tackle this exact issue. Otherwise awesome work.
Hi! I want to use this as a base to a joystick that i'm making. Is it possible to get a list of which kind of screws you used and how you programmed the pot inputs to give meaningful output. I'm new to making and this is my first project so i'd appreciate the help!
I'm trying to build this myself and I had the same question. As far as I can work out the big hex bolts are 1/4 inch 3/4 inch bolts. Not sure about the smaller ones which hold the rubber bands, but looks like maybe the holes are drilled out to fit 1/8 inch hex screws. Hope that helps!
what exact transmitter did u use for the tractor and how many channels does it use, 1 more thing what reciever did u use, i want to make an rc truck with ligts sounds and a crane but need a transmitter with lot of buttons and a good reciever any good suggegstion
Great compact design :), was thinking about making my own to use as a gear selector for my mini car, but time to build is a draw back so im starting with G29 wheel + gear, but i might still do my own to have all functions i need :)
What material is it made of? Injected plastic? Is the angle of each potentiometer 45 degrees to each opposite side? If made of metal, how much would you charge to make two joysticks?

Of course. Feel free

Yes ı was going to say that thank you
The other problem with potentiometers is they wear out. I avoid pots whenever possible.
That's like a lifetime supply of rubberbands! Unfortunately most rubber bands dry out after just a few years ...
I wonder if you could use a humidipak to keep them fresh?
The final design is very over engineered in my opinion. Also you could have used rubber bands on the joystick module to recenter it.
yeah I don't know why everyone builds them this way...
is thewre a way to make one with a raspberry pi pico?
hello! so do you know how where to find the c++ for this? i know some basic c++ for arduino but dont know how to log it into games like dcs
puedes fabricar una para video juegos arcade
Thank you very much for sharing. I've been looking into Hall effect sensors to do this.
Can i do this with an arduino nano

Im stummped at how this thing bolts together. I guess I could just print, f around and find out...@@jsnprtr
thank you! @@jsnprtr
very cool dude! cant wait to see this channel grow!
Excellent works! Very nice. Can u share the arduino code. Please.
This is amazing. If you contact me I’d like to buy this from you. Or pay you to make me something very similar. Plz message me.
Hi Micheal. Is there any chance i can get your handler .ipt part file for modifying. I want to modify it on my own a little bit. Thanks
Curious…why did you decide on those potentiometers? I have a current project that needs them.
what exact transmitter did u use for the tractor and how many channels does it use, 1 more thing what reciever did u use, i want to make an rc truck with ligts sounds and a crane but need a transmitter with lot of buttons and a good reciever any good suggegstion
Any clue if this would work for a pan-tilt-zoom camera? Obviously with extra buttons
Every subscriber get a free rubber band!
thanks bro. you helped me alot. would have been even better if the size was a bit small
You can get proper springs on AliExpress for cheap. Otherwise. Awesome design! 😀
Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing, cool design. would you be able to provide the script to link the potentiometers as joystick in the arduino? Thank you!
Sick Design dude

pro trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Weston Zayd yup, I've been using flixzone} for since november myself :)
@Weston Zayd Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :)
@Weston Zayd yea, I've been using Flixzone} for months myself =)
Nice!
nice!
the mechanics is professional. keep it up
Nice design kid
nice design, thanks for sharing the stl files
Thanks
Great video! Tip: set your camera to Manual Focus to stop it constantly focus hunting.
Thanks! Yeah, normally it is set to manual but for this one I totally forgot.
exelete!!
Здорово Миша! 👍
sweet ! might try to print :)
Very nice
You really need to set you camera to manual focus

Pots - suck. Use halls.
