research single cam designs #1

CM2 is a good baseline: VIRPIL WarBRD or CM2

In order to do FFB with the existing setup, one of the cams will have to be applying force in downwards direction to keep that area free for the coil assembly.

Hello Bhowiebkr,

did you made any progress on this topic in the last months?

I'm building a 3d printed throttle atm and also did some research on a joystick. I stumbled over your project several times.

Maybe this will help you: http://eng.sut.ac.th/me/box/2_54/425306/Cam%20Design.pdf

If i find out how to calculate the cams, i will let you know.

This design is used in my quad-copter radio. There is also a screw to apply tension on spring. I think there is some calculation behind the spacing of the two pins. But if you're lazy as me, you will notice that it just a matter of equally lifting the spring-loaded part... 😅

Hope I can help, it is a really interesting project :)
