Airbus Sidestick DIY 3D Printed
DIY 3D Printable Flight SIM Airbus Sidestick.
Airbus Sidestick can be connected by USB joystick board. (from an old joystick), or by HID Arduino Micro, MMJoy/MMjoy2 for example.
Delivery: Zip file, .STL .OBJ files.
The axis based on Potentiometers,
x10 Buttons

Here You will find all instructions:
In the archive, you’ll find a file named “Sidestick1.2.obj.” To better understand how to assemble the printed parts, it’s best to open this file in FreeCAD or another CAD program and virtually disassemble the components. Files

Electronics
The Rudder Pedals can be connected using an old USB joystick board, or by HID Arduino Pro Micro, MMJoy/MMJoy2 projects.
