FLIGHT BUNDLE

You can get full support on Discord channel
https://discord.gg/ybuvFZXFgc

The joystick is based on hall effect sensors for 3 axes and a few buttons and 8 way hat switch.
Designed to use with TLN elettronica, Leo Bodnars BU0836A, BU0836X, Arduino boards.
I chose BU0836A since you don't need any programing.
Also there is almost no soldering reqired (6 pins on 8 way hat only).
But I recoment soldering anyway for more reliable connections.
A few ball bearings and M3 screw and nuts required.
3D printed Throttle Supports dual engines, and a few potentiometers or rotary encoders for trim and flaps.
Files for LEFT-HANDED USERS included in separate folder.
Mostly 3D printed Rudder pedals with toe brakes, based on aluminium extrusions 2020 and 2040 can be connected directly to joystick, so no need for anothe board

3D printed Collective

You can get full support on Discord channel
https://discord.gg/ybuvFZXFgc

There are very few options to get the collective, so I decided to make my own.
The modular design allows you to assemble single or dual throttles.
Two 4 way hat switches 3D printed.
Mini joystick
7 buttons or more, depends on what you use in top row
Top row has 4 equal holes to use any combination of toggle and rotary switches provided in the BOM list of Build guide.
For this build I used TLN elettronica 8AI-36DI-MTX joystick board, but you can also use Arduino micro or leonardo as well.

The Collective is also ready to connect the pedals.

TBM Bundle

This Bundle includes:

1. 3D printed YOKE

2. TBM 930 Throttle

3. Rudder pedals

THE YOKE
The Yoke was ispired by Daher TBM 930. It uses two AS5600 sensors on the pitch and roll axis, 160 degrees total roll turn, 80 degrees from center to each side, 140mm travel for the pitch, 70mm from center to each side. And the most important thing that makes this work....
joystick board from TLN elettronica, the 8AI-36DI with pins. THE BEST BOARD I HAD SO FAR
This unit is stand alone and does not include the throttle quadrant.
Despite how complicated it looks, it is very simple to assemble. I'm no expert in electronics or programming or soldering.
Very little soldering required, or even none if you have the right tools.
So if I could do it, anyone can do it.

The Daher TBM 930 throttle quadrant
3D printed throttle quadrant was designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, and doesn't need FSUIPC to work.
It has 4 axis and 4 buttons.
3 axis, Pitch trim, Power and Feather have AS5600 sensors
1 axis, Flaps have linear potentiometer
2 of 4 buttons are visible, For Aileron trim L and R
2 buttons are hidden, for HOLD REVERSE button and CUT MIXTURE
These hidden buttons are activated by lifting the red lever.

RUDDER PEDALS
Mostly 3D printed Rudder pedals with toe brakes, based on aluminium extrusions 2020 and 2040

This can be as a stand-alone unit, or an addon to my yoke. The tiller has 4 axes......1. nose wheel, 2. left toe brake, 3.right toe brake, 4. main gear brake

Directly you control only 2 axes.....nose wheel and main gear brake. the other 2, left and right toe brake are activated with nose wheel turn from 30 above. This ensures smaller turn radius of the plane.

No programming here. Mixing is done via internal gearing mechanism I designed, the rest is just binding axes in the sim :)

This model perfectly fits the yoke:
