DIY 3D printable Cyclic for Helicopter Simulation (UH-1) w/ dampeners and soft center

thingiverse

Flying helicopters with a normal, hard-centered joystick is annoying. Why not design a cost-efficient new one that could easily be mounted beneath any chair and would make flying more cofortable and realistic? Here it is, by far the most complex project I've done. Features: plug&play on Win 10 (using arduino pro micro as joystick emulator) removable stick for more compact storage hallsensors & magnets for precise control inputs R/C Car dampeners for realistic feedback and a soft center shiftregister for button control of B8 flight stick BOM and parts list is included as excel-file. There are two versions of cyclic_gimbal_case and cyclic_gimbal_1_1_2 and also .stp files for both so you can modify both parts to your need.
