DIY Arduino Helicopter Collective Joystick Control -- Episode 440

Hey there, I am seeing the same error message as above. Did you resolve this issue?

Hi Benaim, just downloaded Kalebs Files and Arduino program for the Collective and was indeed also wondering why not using a Hall element.
See that you changed it to a Hall element instead of rotary encoders.
Would you be so kind to share your 3D files and Arduino program with me?
I never have done 3D design So that's a hurdle for me if i have to find out myself, i have bought an 3D printer for this project but don't have the 3d files for your implementation.
Arduino programming will not be a problem but as you must have the file also, that would also be very appreciated.
Thanks, Leo

Phillipe,

Do you have an electrical schematic of the configuration you've used with the AS5048a that you could share?

Just for completeness: I did confirm that the ability to download the Fusion files from the 3D viewer is associated with a paid subscription to Fusion 360 - specifically anyone who wants to make their files downloadable from the 3D viewer needs the subscription.

Thanks

Thanks for your time, Kaleb!

Unfortunately it doesn't look like Fusion 360 will import .fbx files (anymore?):

I'm am using the non-commercial version, however. I wonder if this is related.

Thanks for putting together this project, by the way! I fly quite a bit in ARMA as well and this inspired me to work on designing my own collective and it's been a bunch of fun!

Maybe the licensing changes changed the way that works. Sorry for the inconvinance.

The .fbx file is on github which you should be able to download and import into Fusion360.

I also just uploaded all of the STL files to github. They should be the most current, but if they are not, then the .fbx file is for sure the most current.

Let me know if that works,

Thank you!

HI Kaleb,

    I've tried Edge, Firefox and Chrome and I'm not seeing the download option you describe.

Is there any chance the item is not set as Downloadable, as per this Autodesk article?

Thanks in advance!

Solved: A360 Viewer - View only, no option to download - Autodesk Community - A360 Drive

Hi  Kaleb

I enjoyed the video of your project, it was very enlightening on what could be done. Thank you for posting this so that everyone could have a chance to build it.

I have been using x-plane to practice flying light planes. I have tried flying the helicopter in it but, found it much too difficult to control. it sounds like that cyclic control you built  might  improve that. i would like to give it a try. I do have access to a 3d printer and the basic  design seems doable. However, i do like the improvements that Philippe has made to it, that makes it more compact, using the hall sensor AS5048a. Is it possible to get a more detailed explanation of that posted here? I am new at building things like this, I will have to do a bit of studying on how to program the arduino for this but it looks like it would be worth doing. I would also be interested in having a throttle control built into this if anyone could come up with some ideas. Thanks for posting the Cad files, as i would have no idea of how to design  a part to print out. What program do you use to design something like this? I may have to ask for more advice before i am done, Thanks again for getting me started on this

Hi Kaleb many many thanks. Thats the way to do it.

And thank you for this amazing work.
