Writing code for flight simulator X (DIY Cessna 172 Cockpit) #223

Closed Cutbangrian closed 2 years ago

Cutbangrian commented 2 years ago

Hi, I want to build flight simulator cockpit for cessna 172. turned out Saitek yoke is currently at $200 +

So I ended up here. I'm using arduino Leonardo and succesfully tested joysticktest.ino all button is verified and tested when I grounded A0.

then I saw code in this documentation called flightcontrolledtest.ino but I dont know how to use it for my DIY yoke for simulator.

I have read the code more than 50 times but dont understand how to wire it up my potensiometer to arduino pin. because code in flightcontrolledtest.ino is so complicated. but I really like flightcontrolledtest.ino code because it contains X Y axis, rudder, throttle and 32 button dan I can use for landing light, etc in cessna 172.

Im really newbie at coding, I can understand just a little bit. I already searched at youtube and couldnt find anyone that show how to do it. even if there is exist, they only provide XY axis and throttle.

but in this case, I need other 32 button like flightcontrolledtest.ino code.

how I can overcome my problem?

Wiring up https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BuiltInExamples/AnalogReadSerial

initialize the joystick (example for X and Y axis and throttle of an joystick) Joystick_ Joystick(0x03, // joystickType buttonCount hatSwitchCount JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK, 32, 0, //includeXAxis includeYAxis includeZAxis includeRxAxis includeRyAxis includeRzAxis true, true, false, false, false, false, //includeRudder includeThrottle includeAccelerator includeBrake includeSteering false, true, false, false, false); ;

define the range in "void setup" Joystick.setYAxisRange(0, 1023); Joystick.setThrottleRange(0,1023);

in "void loop" you have to read the values and assign them to the axis, and "submit" the control input pinMode(A0, INPUT); pinMode(A1, INPUT); pinMode(A2,INPUT); int AX = analogRead(0); int AY = analogRead(1); int THROT = analogRead(2); Joystick.setXAxis(AX); Joystick.setYAxis(AY); Joystick.setThrottle(THROT); Joystick.sendState();

OMG finally my yoke is released and completed.

A huge thanks to you my friend. I can't expressed it.

Once again, thank youu much !!!

You're welcome. A little change to the code the 3 lines pinMode(A0, INPUT); pinMode(A1, INPUT); pinMode(A2,INPUT); should be in the "void setup" and not "void loop".

The current should not cause any issues, so more a cosmetic aspect.
