For "X and Y axis on miniature joystick"" he mean the "thumb stick" PS3 like (used in CH PRO Throttle, Thrustmaster TWCS throttle...) - today this device is very desirable by "space pilots" for that "6DOF" control



2 axis mini-joystick with press button (switch) in eBay.

For "4 way HAT", is the conventional 4 micro-switch HAT around a pole.

In all commercial joystick available is not used 8 micro switch HAT - like the above picture for "HUD" maybe suggest, but 4 micro switch only, what make the "8 way" is the firmware that translated two near buttons pressed simultaneous as diagonals. For example: N and W pressed = NE diagonal.

Example of HAT internals:

This above internals (from TmW HAT) can be 4 or 8 way HAT for Windows/Games, depends on firmware.

Why "8 way HAT" is not much practical to use, sometimes trying press NE you end pressing N or E first (1)

With today 3D print is not difficult/expensive make HAT, in Debolestis Shapeways has some examples.

(1) - Using Alps 8 way micro (+ press button) switch this drawback is avoidable because the diagonals use a dedicated button - but at same time make then unusable in POV HAT position with conventional joystick firmware that expect two buttons pressed simultaneous.

As I understand the micro joysticks.
I'm not yet ready to apply them in their units.

About the principle and device HAT I know.
Applicable controllers me work correctly with HAT.

Of application of these devices in my blocks can become real when I have a 3D printer ...

Mechanics for three fixed positions of the handle with a pull rod.

The ball is on stock as an arm version.

Spring is also not the final option.

Very very nice.

It turned out here is such a handle (Me109) on the main axis of the throttle

In the new building.

Material "Aluminum composite panel".

The mechanics are combined, along the edges "universal" in the center of the "spark".

The inscriptions are made with laser engraving.

beautiful. your work is getting better and better.

Thank you

Here such variant.

The main difference from the previous is an elongated handle 15 mm from the standard and two "twisters".

One krutilka from below (as I have already done) and from the front (this was the first time I did it).

I want to ask your opinion, is such a revision of the main lever will be in demand?
