Here is a nice 3d printed HAL sensor

Nice work Redneck! Increasingly looking forward to the tqs kit with every pot-spike I get:eek:
-
Great work, can’t wait to get my hands on one. you da man!
-
Count me in for a throttle kit. Will I still need the Tusba after the update?
-
Count me in.
-
Count me in, too!!
-
+1 for the throttle pot (2 required)

Great news folks, received the beta test kit for the stick today, it works A-MAZINGLY!!! It was plug and play with no extra care, calibration and of to the sky! The precision of control is more akin to a warthog rather than the default pots in the cougar ever were! Eagerly awaiting for the throttle sensor beta kit. It wont be long now til the full final release is available for purchase…
Side note, redneck there was some slight resin/silicon overflow/residue in one of the two sensor housings at the place where the magnet contacts the housing. Just scraped it carefully a bit with a tiny screw driver. Thats it. Everything else worked as expected!! Many thanks mate!!

You will only in a tusba if you want to plug the throttle to your pc independently of the stick.

Good to hear it works for you, the residue is hotglue.
It is used to give the wires extra suport where the wires go in the pcb.Currently working on the throttle sensor, it worked on my end. Two guys got the throttle sensor and reported it was not working as expected. So digging into it what the problem could be.
Keep you posted. -
Great job. I need 2 systems for my tqs when it s dispo to sale.

Keep you posted.Could it be that the different voltage issue between different TQS’s is to blame here? I know you switched to a different sensor but perhaps different voltages than what you use mess it up?

Every time I read this thread title, “Here is a nice 3d printed HAL sensor”, I think we’re building one of these:

I, for one, welcome our synthetic overlords ��

Keep you posted.Hi Redneck, I’m interested for TQS and stick. Looking forward for updates and prices.
Thanks!

looks interesting! Especially if it’s also for the TQS.

Hi Redneck, have you sorted the throttle sensor issue yet & able to give us an idea of when they will be available?

Problems are fixed.
I got some alpha types on the way to some testers,once they report back good results it will be released.
Meanwhile the 3d printer is punching out parts. -
it will be released.

I am watching this thread with interest! I got a used Cougar on eBay, but the throttle pot was burned out. I was able to bring it back to life with some X-Acto-knife microsurgery and some circuit-writer-pen fluid, but I would love to install a Hall sensor in the TQS. I have some Hall sensors, but haven’t dreamed up a mounting solution yet. Seeing that people are still thinking about throttle-pot replacements is something worth paying attention to. Many thanks to everyone who is still giving the Cougar some love!

Just received the Beta TQS sensor and its working perfectly! Now i have a full set! Thank you redneck, you revived my cougar!!!
