Flightsim FFB Yoke with Arduino Leonardo
I am not responsible for any damage to man and machine. Be careful when handling electronics and mechanics.
If you want to use it in an commercial way please contact me.
It shows how to create a force feedback yoke (and later pedals) for using with Flight Simulator. It consist of 3d components, electronic schematics and arduino source code.
See Wiki for more info.

If you want to use more than one Arduino Joysticks you have to change the Joystick.h file JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID number to different number Example:
Also you can define the USB Name of the Joystick by changing the boards.txt file normally found in
leonardo.build.vid=0x2341 leonardo.build.pid=0x8036 leonardo.build.usb_product="Arduino Leonardo"
leonardo.build.vid=0x9998 leonardo.build.pid=0x9998 leonardo.build.usb_product="Arduino FFB Yoke"
The newest Version of the code uses a calibration routine for measure the Potentiometer Values on all directions. I will be started on power on and by pressing the button (see Schematic image). The LED will blinking to indicate this mode. You have to move the Yoke to all direction till the end switches will trigger. After all axes will done the calibration is finished and the LED blinking will end.
This project is a combination of several existing github projects and 3d Models from Thingiverse.com
