Hi, i want build 72 buttons and 3 axis. I will use 18 pushbuttons, 6 toggles ON-OFF-ON (=12 buttons), 3 encoders ( =6 buttons), and.... (here it is the problem) 3 rotary switch 6 positions 2 circuits (=36 buttons).

If i use MMJOY2[20160801], when asigns SWITCH ON value "Mode", only let me use 32 buttons, don´t recognize more than 32, and i need 36.




If I use MMJOY2[20151118], "SwITCH ON" no have problems, but this version only let me 64 buttons, and i need 72....

any idea?.....

EDIT: After use 32 "SWITCH ON", i can´t use another value like Encoder, Switch, Button(invert),.... only Button(norm)

EDIT 2: From the button 33 to 128, the Mode field only allows Button (norm).

I think the gimbal with Servocity parts will be very large. Will this thing fit and rock inside the Suncom base?

No, to high, the space on base is very limited.

picture hosting

You have a box with 80 x 40m (WxH) for gimbal (measures with plastic paquimeter).
Depends on spring position can add ~16 mm in high.

This Mega-MOZG design can be used there, is similar to (Cougar) Uber_NXT mechanics.



What maybe you can use from Servocity is pillow bearing in X, the small one, so don't need bother in drill perpendicular holes.

I get some aluminum profiles to try making one, L and square, but need find someone with press drill to borrow.

I have a very small time window to buy the parts I need and send them to my brother. I am considering building an "undercase" for this gimbal. I do have a bench support for a hand drill, but I lack the time to use it.

Crawling_Chaos, if you want it is possible to send assembled gimbal from Belarus. I have a couple of unnecessary...

hello everyone, I try to use hall effect sensor to replace my Cougar throttle pot. However, I find that my Honeywell SS495A take approx 70 degree to finish the whole range. thats seems not enough degree for my throttle movement. How can I fix this problem. Thanks heaps.

Lamal,

Look what Miles_D say there, about "tune" his Cougar sensor (think is S495), moving the magnets away from sensor:

The thing, mega_mozg_13, is that Brazilian customs are very dull, sluggish, and often unfair. Besides the already high taxes (they charge over price plus shipping!) there is a big chance they fail to classify the product and therefore overcharge it. For this, I would rather that someone could bring it over our borders. But, please, PM me with the specs and price, for I need two gimbals if I intend to get the two joysticks working again.

Best regards

This error happens when JoySetup and firmware don't have the same revision (date).

Kimer,

If be "card" you mean the Arduino for flash with MMjoy2 can use any of the ones linked in first topic, e.g. Arduino PRO Micro, Teensy 2.0, etc.

For potentiometer, any with of Type B (liner response) 10 to 50k.

The proper type of potentiometer for joystick use you will not find in electronic stores, is the one with 30 to 60 degrees of electric travel, you will find with 270, 300... and for use all this curse will be need use gear or pulleys.

For for "rotarie" can use potentiometer or Encoder, case opt for potentiometer check if your preferred game allow the function, that is typically radar elevation, assigned in axis. If accept only in buttons use Encoder.

Hi folks. I received the parts I purchased. Now I think I have a starting point. Fitting this gimbal into a Suncom base will be a tough job.

You can use sliding pot: https://www.riecktron.co.za/en/product/813

But don't fit the throttle handle direct over then, this will worm out then fast.
Use linkages, e.g. RC ball-links.

Can use conventional circular pot too, but will be able to use few degrees of course, reducing controller resolution.
How is inside CH PRO throttle:

https://s32.postimg.org/m9d5zyjj9/CH_81.jpg

And the conversion of sliding to circular movement will be not proportional.
In CH this, and small circular movement on throttle is compensated in firmware (I guess).

And, using potentiometer install then in a way that make easy replace, since they have limited life span.

C_Chaos,

Nice "LEGO". smile

A idea for use as base case is PVC cap (tampa 100mm):

Sample: http://imgur.com/O0BJ1r8

Sturdy, relatively easy to drill holes, cut, and can be painted.

Other possible option.
