@aelfewulf said in New lease of life for Cougar throttle:

My love for the F16 style throttle continues…

… and this time it’s the ancient, all plastic TM TQS!

I’ve upgraded the main throttle axis to hall sensor, using 3D printed parts, Allegro 1324 hall sensor and N52 magnet.
Powered by Leo Bodnar BU836A + matrix board. All 32 digital inputs, 4 POV and 8 analog axis are fully utilised.
Acrylic panels are laser cut/marked. The fonts are not perfectly white, but serve the purpose well.
I especially love the F-ACK and MASTER CAUTION industrial switches… long smooth firm actuation, loud CLICK. I find myself mashing them just for the heck of it LOL

This is WIP…but it’s 95% done. Just need to shorten the bottom row of 4 screws so they don’t stick out.
Not shown in the above pics are 2 additional push buttons + 3-way pinkie switch on the throttle grip, and a PSP ministick replacement for the red “eraserhead” cursor slew. The ministick performs well in testing, but needs a large dead zone.

In my design, switches like the LASER ARM/MASTER ARM and autopilot switches are excluded because I feel they are best located as a separate MISC PANEL button box.

I feel this modded TQS looks much cooler than my Cougar mod…what do u guys think?

Will update with more pics soon!

This is everyone’s father, that’s when it all started!
I have one of these, it’s all dismantled!

@69tantra was successful, already functional?

@hiuuz

@69tantra gave up using deduino, will use F4toSerial, will you be able to?

*@69tantralet’s see now if you can install DED and FFI, keep us updated!

*@Fish44 said in Pit builders USB hub advice?:

Can any of your pit builders advice me on a good USB hub solution. Since i updated my system the new MB does not seem to handle the usb connections as good as the old one did, and i’m getting devices not being recognised, and messages there’s too many USB’s connected.

I’m wondering what kind of solutions you guys with many USB connections have come up with

Cheers.

Hello everybody!
This is one of the best USB HUB on the market, link below!!!
