Hardware & Technical My custom Elite Dangerous throttle.

Does it light up and play a little tune when it boots up? 
That's awesome!
That's awesome!Well It's easy to remember which button does what, because they all are labeled.
Plus there is a qwerty keyboard implemented to navigate through galaxy map.
+ some switches for language toggle, shadowplay recording enable. Buttons for screenshots and teamspeak. And more more more.
for now the brake lever actually is an axis. There is a hall sensor inside it and a magnet. In ED it currently disables assists.
also it has leds, indicating some basic functions like landing gear, scoop, silent running, asiists, rotational correction, etc. (mechanically through corresponding throttle switches.)
Actually when i just printed ED controls avialability when projected this and just make sure i got a switch for every function.
after that I added some other functions and in the end it came to this.
it runs on nJoy32 controller from VKB and MARS sencor on main throttle axis. and connects to a PC via single usb cable.

I got better. It`s on digital MARS sensors (throttle and Joystick) by VKB. It gives 0.02 degrees of a magnet field rotation sensitivity. ;-) And the brake lever uses hall sensor. ;-)did you updated the joy sensor of your cougar (or what's left of it anyway
I'm using it with Black Mamba joystick with stick from cougar (stick is pretty same to warthog) and Mamba's mechanics and sensors are much better than those, installed in warthog. ;-)

nice craftmanship.
i really like full alu builds!
here are some wip pics of my rebuild full alu a10 throttle.
it can autocenter at 50%, is build of metal only, oildampened and has an analogue hall sensor thumbstick.
will upload pics from the finished version if someone is interested.

You forgot a switch! Where is the "Cancel Self Destruct, I didn't mean to select it!" switch?
Impressive. Never in all my life, I'll have a device like this
Yes, the passion does not know the limit
That's impressive!
Understatement of the week!
It's the simple things.
The throttle mounted on a plate, and the use of smaller boxes rather than one enormous box; genius.
How's the setup powered?
