DIY Joystick to Connect With a Computer to Drive Airplane Simulation







a DIY Airplane transmitter emulating a real RC transmitter. To play with Drone simulation programs
Supplies
I have decided to do this joystick because of this video.
the main items needed are two (analog stick potentiometer) and an arduino(I have used nano)
Connect any RC to your computer to use it on any flight simulator or video games - YouTube
Electronic Circuit


this is the circuit diagram I build and the back of the nano transmitter circuit.

I have disassembled transmitter to salvage the (joystick potentiometer/ analog stick potentiometer)
CNC Engraving the Circuit


I CNC engraved a copper plated prototyping board with a circuit to connect the (joystick potentiometers/ analog stick potentiometers) to Arduino nano.
3d Modeling and Printing


I then 3d modeled an enclosure that house the copper board, the Arduino nano and (joystick potentiometers/ analog stick potentiometers) inspired by the width and proportions of the spectrum dx5 transmitter
