Flightsim FFB Yoke with Arduino Leonardo
I am not responsible for any damage to man and machine. Be careful when handling electronics and mechanics.
If you want to use it in an commercial way please contact me.
JR4 has created a new hardware for this project (many thanks) and the new parts are available here The hardware is nearly the same as shown in 1.3.5 but a little different. I will update the description soon.
It shows how to create a force feedback yoke (and later pedals) for using with Flight Simulator. It consist of 3d components, electronic schematics and arduino source code.
See Wiki for more info.
Please read the Issues before begin!

If you want to use more than one Arduino Joysticks you have to change the Joystick.h file JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID number to different number Example:
Also you can define the USB Name of the Joystick by changing the boards.txt file normally found in
micro.build.vid=0x2341
micro.build.pid=0x8037
micro.build.usb_product="Arduino Micro"
and change it to (use at your own risk), you can comment out the old value by using a Rhombus symbol
micro.build.vid=0x9998
micro.build.pid=0x9998
micro.build.usb_product="Arduino FFB Yoke"
The newest Version of the code uses a calibration routine for measure the Potentiometer Values on all directions. I will be started by pressing the calibration button. Everything you need to know will be displayed on the LCD Screen.
This project is a combination of several existing github projects and 3d Models from Thingiverse.com
