Mini HOTAS Gamepad 40

Traveling with a laptop and playing simulators is not a good mix and while I missed my HOTAS setup back home I thought of building a mini HOTAS I could easily take with me and not take up too much room yet still be easy to use. Connects with USB to computer and uses standard drivers, no extra drivers necessary.

So I gutted an old RC transmitter and combined its gimbals with trim pots, some switches and toggles. Everything is powered using a Leobodnar BU0836A 12-Bit Joystick Controller and matrix board. Very easy tro use and install. The CC between mounting holes is 40mm hence the name Mini HOTAS 40.

As always, if you find it useful a tiny donation goes a long way to show appreciation. :)
