DIY Arduino Helicopter Collective Joystick Control -- Episode 440

Thanks Mick,

Yeah still getting message. Buts its probably something to do with programming logic....

Just going to crack open an adruino books and start from basics...

thanks for input greatly appreciated...

Hi. You just need to download the library.

Kaleb,

Quick question please?

Above is what I have so far but could you please clarify where your getting Joystick.h file. When I attempt to verify in Ide editor I get error message "Joystick_ does not name type".

thanks for your help and especially thanks for your shared information on Heli Collective:)

Oh Yeah please understand i've always been more of a hardware guy and can build hardware and wire it up like its candy:) software on the other hand is kinda my weak-point... So please excuse the rookie question....

respectfully

Andrew

Hi everyone instead of using arduino I have one of these boards BU0836X 12-Bit Joystick Board [BU0836X] - 49.99GBP : Leo Bodnar, Simulator Electronics

If I use this board do I need to change the Bourns encoder for the collective to raise and lower and will I also need to change the small gear to something else ?

any suggestions would be great will everything work ok with this board

I also noticed with this board it shows to wire the ground for each switch / button strange

hi this looks great, is their an exploded view or a build video as the above video is sped up so hard to follow what goes where

thankyou

Hi all, i have begun a similar project to make it work first as a switch board with an Arduino Leonardo and i will be moving on to implement this collective once all the elements seem to work fine. I have a simple question about using toggle switches [ON-ON] in such a setup, and not momentary, and the question is how do you manipulate the time release on the switch input so as not to register as continous press...The point being, switch in one direction press x button for y ms, other direction press z button for t ms...Any pointers on how to code this? Thanks again for such a brilliant project and idea. I would appreciate any input on this as i am just beggining to delve into the workings of arduino and i am constantly learning.

That is very odd, when I load that page in chrome (and in incognito, not logged in) it shows a button just above the spatial block on the upper right hand side that says "download" from there you can download many formats of the files.

I have added the .fbx file to github for download. Link to github is above.

Let me know if that helps,

I can see the design in the fusion 360 page, but cannot work out how to download the fusion files - can you advise which buttons to use to download the files (See my screenshot). Thanks for coming back to me

Hi Kaleb,

Any chance you could upload the Eagle schematic file please? Im going down the route of getting the board printed as my soldering skills are sub-par. Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve,

Did you get all the files you needed?
