Thanks for the info guys.

tityus, the project fell under a bus with "Overcome by events" printed on the side. I may nor may not get back to it.

this is nice and easy solution mega_mozg!


and I also found local store to supply this kind of magnets
NdFeB magnets ANNULAR RINGS - MAGNETIZED DIAMETRICALLY - PERPENDICULAR TO AN APPROPRIATE AXIS

there is nothing what can stop me from building my own stick...

...except no free time

Is the sensor used above one of the Allegro hall effect devices? (AC1302?)

g.

tnx.

yes. this is Allegro "A1324". also Honeywell "SS945" very good sensor.

Ok, thanks!

I've done some digging and I can't find any diametrically polarized magnets that are 6mm in diameter. Only 10mm and larger.

Give this link a shot.1/4 inch diametrically opposed magnets
1/4 inch so not quite 6mm but probably close enough. Is there an advantage to having the smaller magnet as opposed to a 1/2 inch variety?

When you're trying to put the whole thing into an enclosure like this:


You want the most compact parts you can find.
The case is 3D printed and the input shaft is a Bic pen body that's had 1/4-20 threads cut into it. There's Allegro hall effect sensor attached to a small PCB that's hot-glued into the opposite end. There's two 3mm diameter magnets bracketing the sensor as it passes into the center of the Bic pen body.

Thanks to the link you sent, I was able to find something that is pretty much exactly what I was after:

Thanks!

Sensitivity read datasheet

I don't use it.

very good solution.

Hey cool!
Any other pictures from the right and front side?

Hi mega_mozg,

The only one I can find on that page is this one:


is the pinout arrangement the same for arduino leonardo?
for example:

F4 & F5 for SPI-CS
BI for SPI-SCK
B3 for SPI-MISO
B6 for TLE5010-GEN ?

please advise.

tirta,
"B6" for TLE5010-GEN - this pin are shared for all TLE5010/5011 sensors.
"B3" for SPI-MISO - this pin are shared for all "SPI" sensors (TLE5010/5011/kma200/mcp3201-3208).
"B1" for SPI-SCK - this pin are shared for all "SPI" sensors (TLE5010/5011/kma200/mcp3201-3208).
"SPI-CS" - you can connect as you like, and where you connect CS-pin need to setup at configurator. this pin are individual to sensor. (F4 & F5 - just a sample).

also additional data line "SPI-MOSI" shared for "SPI" sensors mcp3202-3208.

I recently wired my TM F-16 FLCS to a Teensy 3.1 with SPI. Had a bit of trouble getting the code working but got there in the end with some help. You might find some useful information in this thread http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=62188. gerryk who helped me there also has a F22 which he wrote the code for, which is available here https://github.com/gerryk/USBJoystick

I want to replace the rather jittery pots with hall sensors next. Can anyone advise whether these magnets would be suitable please? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15-of-1-4-Cube...=item588582c61b

They're the one i used in my flcs i glued them over a plastic hexagonal core (kindly "donated" form a pen)

Great, I'll get those then. It'll give me plenty of spares to mod anything else I fancy doing as well
