This is the first iteration of my joystick gimbal design. This gimbal is part of a larger project I'm working on that also includes rudder pedals and a helicopter collective. Stay tuned for future news.I created this design taking inspiration from Olukelo's gimbal but I decided to use only one cam for the spring. Is it possible to adjust the force of the spring using a different size of spring but there is also a adjustable tension system.I also added an adjustable dry clutch because I plan to use this gimbal mainly for gliders and helicopters.The motion sensor is an Hall effect and for its design I took inspiration from Tom Stanton's project "Flight Simulator Joystick and Rudder Pedals" which I recommend you watch because it explains how it works very well.https://youtu.be/SgqflcHBTwchttps://youtu.be/XcKmBWGFUn8 The sensor is the SS496A1 and has excellent precision. The controller is an Arduino Pro Micro (must be 32u4 processor). Other microcontroller can be used i
