LOL NVM, I just thought you were trying to repair it! I was thinking you can get one on amazon for $20 these days. I bought mine to turn it into a collective controller for Black Shark! Good luck with your project.

Yes, but you get a LED always ON. How this LED work in original Saitek circuit - blink when you press button 2 (SW2)?



IMO - A new 35 U$ stick dont surpass a MODed one with BU0836.

Thanks. Also, what Sokol says below...especially where the Aviator and its dodgy calibration issues are concerned. I'm a little bit sick of the second throttle intermittently restricting itself to half an axis in range mid-flight and getting wandering +-10% all the time on both throttles...thankfully for me it's only been the throttles that have been dodgy, I understand some people have had problems with the X and Y axes.


The LED is on all the time, Sokol. You wouldn't be able to see it blink when it was under your thumb anyway.

Well, using a multimeter I established that:
SW2: PD0->P14
SW3: PD0->P12
SW4: PD0->P10
HU: PD1->P16
HR: PD1->P10
HD: PD1->P14
HL: PD1->P12

So I connected:

Trigger blue wire->Column 1
Trigger white wire->Row 1, with 1N4148 diode toward row
P16->Column 3
P10->Column 4
P14->Column 5
P12->Column 6
PD0->Row 1
PD1->Row 6
VCC->+5V
GND->-5V

No luck! Only the trigger switch worked, and the LED was unlit. I tried reversing the connector for VCC and GND, but still no LED. Checked all of my connections with the multimeter and they're all sound from the PCB to the connector end. So, it looks like using diodes along the columns doesn't work. I'm really not sure why the LED isn't working. Oh well! On the plus side everything else apart from the buttons and the LED is now ready and working.
