WW2 WinWing (Custom)

[Honeymonster]

Work in progress thanks to the incredible talent of Aviasim. I will probably connect the wiring to an external control box/Pro Micro as to make an interface PCB is currently beyond my knowledge. This stick is a work of art, insanely comfortable and cheaper than anything from a main stream manufacturer. If anyone knows a way of interfacing to the WinWing directly I'm all ears, I don't fancy a destroying a WinWing stick just for the PCB. Just waiting for my Kanttorin Jabo to be completed which should compliment this very nicely... ?

It seems this may be easier than I thought... WinWing do an adaptor that works with the Warthog/Thrustmaster grips and this consists of simply wires an a plug. This would suggest that if I simulate a Warthog grip I will be golden. This should mean I can just use an 8 BIT shift register breakout board and a mini DIN plug to complete the conversion. A very simple and neat solution indeed. ?

Yes, the fact that WingWing and VirPil have compatibility with Warthog in some of their bases make easy add any grip in their bases (excluding VKB grip's, they are a kind o Apple), just need 1 to 3 CD4021 Shift Register in the grip interface.

 

BTW - In OSPark Debolestis have files for order 8 bits or more PCB for CD4021.

Thanks Sokol I already have these ordered. It was actually through finding old threads you and Debolestis were heavily involved with I got most of the information. The internet is a wonderful thing for finding solutions to problems! So many talented peoples ideas and research brought together in a way that was never possible before it ?

Hi Did you end up using the Debolestis circuit board? I cant get it to work... i think i did something wrong..can you help me out?
