=FCU=PetSild Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Hi, As a small used to play a lot with Legos so I thought after years of something useful to build. Started the testing with a simple model, and now already 1,5 year I use intensively the fourth generation of the Lego dice. The main lever has a friction brake, and there are three more analog axis and it's electronically on the Mjoy16 plus three buttons. Visually does not seem doing so is hmatově is having a very pleasant and has a armrest under the palm. I am very happy and thanks to the transfers I use 95% of the area of the potentiometer will ensure a long service life. Pet The first generation The fourth generation 21
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Hahaha, this is really creative. Cool beans!
Bando Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Now that is fantastic. I did not even know one could do this with Lego. Great thinking
=FCU=PetSild Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 The Lego dice to have inexhaustible possibilities in the future can be easily throttle to expand on the other elements. Thank you all for the praise. Pet
Soarfeat Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 ----Excellent---- Very creative and functional. This is I am sure, will be on my top 10 list of cool stuff for 2017 !! Stay creative !!! Cheers--sf--
Flying_Colander Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Bravo, Petsild. Can you post a few pictures of the insides? I'd be curious how everything fits together. FC
=FCU=PetSild Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 At the time of the Warthog hotas I did not expect any interest in the Lego construction. Tomorrow in daylight add more details.
Soarfeat Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Hmmm, I gotta a can of Lincoln Logs in my attic----- I wonder !!!!!
=FCU=PetSild Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 During the construction there was not need to specially adjust the potentiometer that I used looks like 100% compatible. The connection is absolutely easy using heat-shrink tubing no adhesive was used on the whole structure. The main throttle has extra friction brake, using a rubber ring stiffness determines the number of washers. Used universal circuit board to the dimensions that I needed and soldered the buttons. The whole it revives the board Mjoy16 which is a lot of sophisticated and yet are the functions used 10% of its possibilities. They can still be more modern technology but the brilliant Lego will be here forever. 4
Flying_Colander Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Elegant, PetSild. Thanks for showing us under the hood. Really cool. FC
=FCU=PetSild Posted February 4, 2017 Author Posted February 4, 2017 I am very happy that you like it thank you very much. Pet
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I've looked through a lot of these homebrew controller/DIY threads but this is seriously one of the coolest I've seen. 1
Bando Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Totally agree with Space Ghost here. It's awesome.
TetraD Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Awesome, this got me thinking... I have an unused Logitech 3D lying around. Edited February 7, 2017 by TetraD
VBF-12_Stele Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 That is awesome. Send a picture to Lego. They might highlight in on their site or somewhere.
Sokol1 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Awesome, this got me thinking... I have an unused Logitech 3D lying around. Depends on your DIY skill can be turned in cheap and practical "Franken'throttle". Samples: https://s29.postimg.org/x2ev402nb/Franken_throttle.jpg Edited February 7, 2017 by Sokol1
=FCU=PetSild Posted December 5, 2018 Author Posted December 5, 2018 Hi, after another year of use I decided to make larger adjustments on a Lego throttle. I extended the overall base for the greater comfort of the wrists and the board Mjoy16 I hid nicely inside. Modified the ergonomics of the grip tape, plus added the hat and other buttons on the base device. Another change is the angle of deflection of the main lever, which is used as a better collective control of the helicopter. 1
No_85_Gramps Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Now that is truly unique! Fantastic work!
=FCU=PetSild Posted December 5, 2018 Author Posted December 5, 2018 I'm glad you like it ?, thank you all.
