OK Round Two (still round three to go though).
Tonight I set everything up and changed the plans a tad bit.
I cut a couple pcs of 1/2"x/1/2" wood and attached them to
the plexiglass rectangles I cut.
Next it was time to attach the plates to the joystick.
For good measure I added a piece of door weather stripping.
I only did one side because the idea didnt come until I was
half thru doh!
I had to sand the edges of the wood on one side because
the handle was hitting. With the weather stripping
in place it got the right amount of friction and stays
where you put it.
With that satisfactory I started re-connecting the wires
and wrapped them with heat shrink.
Got all the wires back together!
Now to put it back together!
Notice the middle button missing well its still MIA
and I'll be damned if I'll find it. So after a search
that yielded no dice I found an adhesive backed rubber
foot for electronics. I shaved it down and sanded it
to round the edges and its now a temp. button!
Well for tonight thats it tomorrow I figure a way to
mount it then its proraming and flying the Black Shark!
I purposely havent played to wait for the collective!
I'll post more pics tomorrow when I get things in place,
have to mount a pro gamer command unit also for more buttons.
So far the joystick cost me about $40 and the mod itself has
only cost a a few bucks (I had most parts on hand), an easy way to get an extra
controller.
