you make your own gimbal mechanism. that is very impressive.  how long does it takes to make it? from first idea to first hardware - half year. and another half year to make 3 or 4 hardware versions...

I am planning to build my own magrez MCP601+kmz41 sensor, but in the joysetup the source has many option except IntSensor, which one should I choose if a magrez sensor is connect.
 Hi. Select "IntSensor" / "Port" (where it connected) and "Assigment". It is minimum to works with any analog sensor (pot/hall/magrez).

I thought magrez is a digital sensor..... Do you have any MCP320x + KMZxx shematic to share? I'd like to try something else other than analog.

Where is everyone getting the KMZ60s? I usually try for ebay because of free shipping, but i can't find any on there. I'd be interested in trying this out on some of my home sticks.
Also, I believe the MaRS sensor was the MCP601+kmz41, is there a schematic for that setup?

KMZ60 are available in Mouser, Digikey and Chip1stop. MCP3202+KMZ60 has a advantage to use less components than the old MCP601+KMZ41Sokol1

What I understand from WT topic:
KMZ41 - use one bridge of sensor
Advantage - Can be connect to any (USB) controller
Disadvantage - sensor gain value needs to be adjusted under work (joystick) mechanics, e.g. need solder components (resistor???)
Disadvantage - magnet central position needs to be set manually
KMZ60- use both bridge of sensor
Advantage - the central position of magnet (centering) is defined in Configurator
Advantage - adjusting for a (joystick) mechanics is done by Auto Calibration in Configurator
Disadvantage - this sensor only work if plugged into a controller that perform trigonometry calculations, or ones with MMJoy firmware
Disadvantage - is not easy to find and buy "KMZ60" and "MCP3202", therefore is provides possibility of replacing the ADC "MCP3202" by "MCP3204" or "MCP3208"
BTW - Nice Logitech upgrade: ball bearings on gimbal, MagRez sensors, MMjoy.  http://forum.warthunder.ru/uploads/monthly_12_2014/post-1103554-0-24545400-1418930208.jpgSokol1

thanks Sokol1, that's a lot of LEDs. so it is possible to assign one LED to each button? How do you do it?

Ok, I've now completed a thrustmaster FCS, WCS, X fighter, attack throttle, rudder pedals and a CH Pro yoke. All the buttons, hats and axis work. I think I'm getting the hang of this.
But, I have some questions:
What do Zoom, Stop, Trim and Divisor do in Axis Programming?
Is there a way to set one of the thrustmaster 3 way switches to actually work without putting in gate logic chips?
Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 - what are shift registers, how they work and why I would program them?
What are the differences between the October and the November firmware releases?
