Cougar HOTAS and TQS change old model
-
Help
I want to change the base of my joystick for a magnetic base.
But the TQS is linked to the joystick by an old port, what can I do ? -
@coyotte try to find a TUSBA which is an adapter to turn the TQS into a standalone USB device

@coyotte I can think 3 options:
- What @oakdesign suggested
- Keep the old base of the cougar ssc as interface between the TQS and the pc
- What I have done, I have also modified it to a separate USB device without using TUSBA with the following mod at a fraction of the tusba cost .I also got the hall sensor from the same guy to get rid of the pot . https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/thrustmaster-cougar-throttle-usb-standalone-hall-gmr-sensor/2196578417-225-3771 . I can send you the instructions of the mod if you like to understand exactly how it is installed before purchase.

@danaos75 the mod is basically a arduino pro micro. I’m pretty sure I saw the code he uses somewhere in order to make the mod DIY. But unless you haven’t already tinkered with arduinos given the 30€ it most likely not worth the hassle and just go for it. Haven’t heard anything bad about the mod
-
@oakdesign true, at the time of purchase I didn’t know much about arduinos, I have now used 2 arduinos for a button box for bms and for turning tflight rudder pedals to stand alone USB.
Yes the tqs mod is rock solid so far, never had to re calibrate it since the first time. -
@coyotte yes modify it using and Arduino (or clone) using mmjoy2 this is what i have done a few years ago and works flawlessly and more precious than pre mod ,although I note the link to software is now dead I still have it if you need …see thread https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3899105/mmjoy-mmjoy2-set-your-own-usb-controller-with-a-cheap-arduino
