3 joystick futaba 9c for FPV

[DrDimk0o]

dou you have a picture of the wiring work?

by the way, I am trying to figure out how to connect a headtracker without the trainer port because that is taken by my long range system...... what I was thinking is replacing one of the VR switches with the wires from a headtracker, but that didn't work for me, probably because headtracker was nog getting enough power from the switch wiring. though I tried to power it separately, , that didn't work either. Can you give directions? Thanks!:)

@DrDimk0o

I do not

I doubt the head tracker outputs a resistance signal (0 to 5000 ohms) That is why it wont work with a vr knob. A vr knob only sees resistance if you go and apply a square wave or some kind of voltage to the vr knob circuit that might only accomplish damaging something.

[DrDimk0o]

@DrDimk0o Right.. didn't think about that :) besides I found a solution - just wire the two together. Headtracker will use PPM in and long range system uses PPM out and both have same power and grounding. :)

@DrDimk0o

aren't you using both at the same time? wont this cause a conflict?

Genius!

Good job!

wow that is cooool 3 controls

[RoboTekno]

That is so sick :D

[ptacnik1988]

where did you got that joystick par number or supplier retailer any thing !! i had being looking for it for a long time but i cant find it

[3rflyingcom]

@ptacnik1988

hey bud its just a joystick from a standard R/C controller. If you have a old controller laying around just pull one of the joysticks out. I believe they all use 5k ohm potentiometers...There might be some 2.5k ohm ones out there too...The 5k is most desirable for use on the futaba.

[ptacnik1988]

@3rflyingcom yeah that is what i tough thanks for the help im gonna see if i can find some cheap Chinese JR imitations

[Tkopp243]

i built a base to hold the gimble and attached a long joy stick to mine. its fun to fly my heli while i'am inside and cruise the houses near me. i also use Helicommand, which makes it much easier to fly without looking at the helicopter. i'am currently trying to increase range of FPV so i can journey farther without fear of signal loss. i have Helicommand set up to raise about 50 meters and hold its position in case there is a signal problem with the radio or FPV.

Can you tell us how to build one?

[pinzgauernorcal]

can you assign pan or tilt to a landing gear channel or does it have to be proportional?

[3rflyingcom]

@pinzgauernorcal

Technically you could but it would full left / right or full up / full down. If you want it to move smooth then it must use a proportional channel

[Flight1142]

Nice job man. Can you tell us how to attach the third stick to the radio? Thnk you.

[JesperA86]

Am i seing as shit but isnt it alot of lagg?

[3rflyingcom]

no its all real time. Any lag you might have noticed would be from the low speed high torque gear ratio on that sail winch servo. its not as fast as normal servos but works good for 360 pan.

[skl1cent]

hey very nice mod, can you show how its done? I'm interested :) could be very nice to make a crane :) have like 2 or 3 addidtional sticks on each side :)

[NoronhaeNoronha]

How to do the servo to turn 360.

Did you modify the servo?

You used some servo specify.

How to do the servo to turn 360 and later to stop in the middle.

[3rflyingcom]

Its a GWS sail winch servo no mod necessary

[1LN]

That is cool,can u show the wiring for this mod,i would love to do this

[JetPilott]

I love the 3rd stick, great idea !!! Can this be done on a JR ??

[3rflyingcom]

possibly...which JR?

it needs at least 2 dials
