You are funny, thanks for the smiles while I also could appreciate your design & flight knowledge. I appreciate the geography knowledge! Also love your excitement of making things accessibly free.
lol at basically the same time this was posted, i was revisiting another of your ingenious projects, posted to hackaday, your wacomOLED device. i was, as i am, grateful to have made your acquaintance.
Just finished printing and assembling everything below the grip. Admirable design. Had to figure out that some parts needed duplicates, and snapped a couple parts trying to hammer everything together - but I'm glad it wasn't too easy :)
This is good stuff. I'm a big flight sim fan and didn't know you could gain altitude in a glider, I thought it was just trying to glide to the ground as slow as possible but the fact you can gain altitude makes it way more interesting. Now I want to mess around with my glider modules more.
@@AkakiKuumeri Definitely will. Bought your Flexure model from Etsy... it's taking a while to print, so I swapped to the Basic HOTAS for XBox 360 as I'm leaving on holiday soon and need something compact to take with. But I will finish the Flexure model when I get back. Please, do keep up the amazing work and I will keep on supporting you. Fair Trade :)
My favorite source of bearings: thrown-away inline skaters ( : I like your approach to centering the stick. Although I might just copy the mechanism of this 30 years old Graupner RC that I got for 10 bucks a while ago.
@@AkakiKuumeri Ooh interestingg. I have been using my RC Remote for microsoft flight sim that is making me lazy to make another controller lol. And yes the larger gimbal looks more precise
Brilliant job. I too live in a small place and will mod the Step file to suit my office chair. I can't sit in those folding type chairs for more than half hour before my butt starts hurting. All I need now is the size of the magnet and part number for the linear TO92 sensor. I can't afford the TLE5010/5011 board at $50 each includes the cost of shipping !
Awesome, but that magnetoresistive sensor at 10:50 could get a bit more explanation. In particular the magnet and magnetization direction. It's clear for the hall sensor and it's a mystery for the magnetoresitive sensor.
You can get the same resolution with the hall effect sensor by using ADC 1y bit resolution. And it is cheaper than buying that in video digital magneto resistive.
I was surprised about the tech of this advanced simulator even the graphic is not that great. Did you said the location of the clouds has the upward wind? wow Also your solutions for the controller buld are amazing... especially I love the way how you used the shoe string! Lol! 日本語でもやってくれたら、みんなビビると思いますｗｗ
I don't know anymore if I'm here mainly for the impressive projects, or for the jokes. Great ideas! I'd be curious to know if you've tried flying a quadcopter with two of your joysticks, instead of a "regular" radio with "regular" gimbals, and how it compares.
Thanks! I have tried fpv drones with two joysticks in the simulator. I don't think it's particularly great; I prefer the regular sticks. But for camera drones, I do think it would be a good idea to have longer sticks for smoother motions.
@@AkakiKuumeri Many thanks for the reply! I suppose for an agile thing like a quadcopter it makes sense to use the small sticks on the regular RC radios. :)
Wondering how hard this would be to convert as inputs for a TX16S radio, for flying RC planes and gliders, the use of the pipe chair would make this a lot easier to carry to model fields then many other setups.
The digital magnetoresistive sensor is having 16 bit resolution. You can do the same with the hall effect sensor by adding ADC 16 bit resolution. Just like ADS1115 module. Also It is way cheaper than buying magneto resistive.
10:16 мне показалось вы неправильно поставили магнит относительно датчика. Повернуть на 90 градусов и убрать два центральных магнита а два наружних направить разыми полюсами к датчику. Тогда он будет отрабатывать полный интервал на вашем устройстве. Отрегулировать угол можно расстоянием между магнитами. У тле 5010 угол 360 и он работает на 1/8 интервала при ходе джойстика в 45%. Спасибо за видео! Очень полезно и интересно!
Hey! Thanks for sharing this is exactly what I have been looking for. I fly IRL a EV97 Eurostar, simple Rotax 912 and I was looking for a stick, throttle, trim very portable/foldaway joystick unit which I could take away when traveling with work. I also have the same/similar chair! Ikea. Im keeping an eye on the Repo (watching) for updates and I will be starting the print on my Ender3. Thanks again from England. (ill be editing to put the trim and flaps on the right side).
@@AkakiKuumeri Yeah im in the UK so metric is good. One thing that would be good for the repo is a really simple basic wiring diagram, noticed you had a resistor on the left pedal pot? Also I could only find the TLE5010 on AliExpress but thats ok. Looking foward to printing this!
You’re right, I’ll try and add some more instructions. Everything else is pretty straightforward (just follow mmjoy2 tutorials), but I’m using a special trick with the pedals where I have wired two pots to oppose each other, so even if you push down on both at the same time and manage to bend them somewhat, the values cancel out. The resistor is a part of that. AliExpress is where I got the TLE5010s as well
Wow, love your design. I use Tom Stanton’s design with Condor. But I will build your design, because its even a more Glider experience! When is the release of the plans!
Thanks! I’m glad you like it. The 3D files are uploaded in one big Step file already, if you want to try it. I’ll try to make it a bit easier to understand and add instructions some time later
Akaki, I really have a hard time, splitting up the step file. You printed already, is there any chance you upload the STL files? Would make my life a lot easier 😇
@@asifakhan41942 that’s the one. It’s very Old Internet but I believe that giant forum thread is the main source of info on that software. I was able to figure out everything I needed to know based on the first few posts.
OMG. I never thought I'd see my favorite youtuber making stuff for my favorite sim. FYI - once you get into 15/18+m you'll need to have a hand on the flaps constantly. Your trim should be on the right side anyway, that will leave a place to make flaps / air brakes on the left side. :) :) :)
Hi, very nice approach! I tried to get the step file from the GitHub but the browser translated the file in text file and did not downloaded... Any suggestion? Thanks!
hi Akaki, may you plan to make a tiny rudder version for the controller (xbox, PS5) controlled by fingers ?, like other HOTAS or yoke controller you already done before ?
No, but if you open the STEP file up you can see how it goes together. The shape is specific to my chair so you will have to modify the chair clips to match yours.
I had no issues using it weekly for about a year. Since then I built a new one but using a second-hand Microsoft Sidewinder FFB as the gimbal, and added grease dampers for the rudder pedals.
@@AkakiKuumeri oh cool, I'm trying to find a way to make something just like this with some ffb. Doesn't need to be a lot, but enough to give a better feeling for what the plane is feeling
Few questions. Where can I find the information on "how yours equipment talk to computer? What software is needed? Any coding involved?" . Love your videos. Amazing and awesome project by the way. Really want to do this in the future, thank you.
It’s amazing how far your designs have come now. Can’t wait to see how this gets modified as you work on it.

For people in the USA 1/2 EMT conduit from the big box stores is about 18.1 mm in OD and fits these models in case you want to make your own
Your enthusiasm is hypnotic. love it
This would probably work pretty well for helicopter sims aswell. The spoiler handle is in the perfect spot for a collective
Awesome upload, it is always interesting to see the stuff you upload!
Looking forward to a helicopter version. Many thanks.
its the same thing for the cylic
And the Mad Genius is at it again. Love your stuff, busy printing a HOTASS for my XBox Controller as I type this. :D
I hope you have fun with it

I think this larger gimbal design is a better design, but the old one has been going strong for a year with little problems too.
@@AkakiKuumeri Ooh interestingg. I have been using my RC Remote for microsoft flight sim that is making me lazy to make another controller lol. And yes the larger gimbal looks more precise
Why didn't you go into production ? I would have lined up to buy one.

Cool design. I don't think your butt is going to like you after sitting in that chair for hours trying to complete a soaring task.
Im glad you provided the proper procedure for launching your glider. 😂
Excellent build!
Really great job! Impressive. I will definitely steal on idea or another for a DIY project! 😊
Inspiring video, that horn made me laugh! thank you for introducing soaring. I use xplane 12 on mac os for now, arduino seems to work ok with it too.

Flaps are used that often? And isn't it tricky to trim if you have to take your hand off the stick to change the trim?

Liked and subscribed.
very resourceful.
Do you take interns ?
Haha hyvä idea! :)
Kiitti vaan
Amazing!
This is exactly what I have been looking for. Can you sell this setup to me?
i would like to use this with a rc plane or a drone
Hello, i'm fighting with the TLE5010 and arduino, would you like to make a video on the subject or give us a link ?
Hey man, Thanks a lot for sharing your awesome work! Im having trouble finding the magnetoresistive sensors you used.. Where can we find them?
Hi, has the project been published? can I print the pieces?
Hello!
Did you adapt the joystick library code when you changed to the magnetoresistive sensor ?
Sweet now a collective also how well is it compared to the big brands like puma or virple
Hi Akaki!
How did you wired the Magnetoresistive Sensor to the Arduino Pro Micro?
If you have the answer i’m searching too.
Awesome 👍
where are the dowels? I'm looking at the step file and don't see them
How do you compensate for hall sensor signal being limited at 1-4v vs vcc at 5v
So what sensors are better to use altho iam sure a square magnet and better place ment could help
Hi, very nice approach! I tried to get the step file from the GitHub but the browser translated the file in text file and did not downloaded... Any suggestion? Thanks!
"record video... Open new Tab.... Launch missiles...."
Hi. I couldn't find the file to print. Would you help me?
It’s in STEP format. Open it up in your favorite CAD software and export the pieces you need!
I wonder if I can use buttons and the board off my tflight hotas x
Are you pilot yourself?
do you have stl files available for the gimbal?
hi Akaki, may you plan to make a tiny rudder version for the controller (xbox, PS5) controlled by fingers ?, like other HOTAS or yoke controller you already done before ?
I don’t have such plans at the moment
You forgot to start the engine at 14:24 😅
Is there instructions to build the trim and airbrake control anywhere? I can't find it on GitHub.
No, but if you open the STEP file up you can see how it goes together. The shape is specific to my chair so you will have to modify the chair clips to match yours.
hoch many degrees of movement does the gimbal have in each direction?
you are amazing
how has this held up? Have you made any improvements? Figured I'd check before I started building one :)

Price of it
coooooooooooooooool
Spoiler spoilers. LMAO.
I wonder how durable it is
Still in one piece after 10 months of weekly use.
