REFLECTOR: Control stick poll

[Alex Balic]

Hi Brett-

I have the infinity stick and decided to ad more functionality to it (hat
switch at least) I made up a relay board that is controlled by a 3 position
toggle on the left upper switch position that allows the hat to do 3
different things (4 relays on the board)  (trim, and radio select and flip
flop for now, but I have the 3rd option available for later) I am pretty
sure the same functionality can somehow be done with transistors, but I am
not that much of a guru to make that happen - someone here on the board
helped me with the relay idea- I can't remember who it was now, maybe they
can speak back up- but basically it uses DPDT relays that have 2 coils, and
the throw is determined by the position of the 3 way on the stick... Now if
I can just keep the different functions straight in my head I will be OK-
probably will have to make up a placard I'm thinking...

 

Alex

I guess I'll be the dissenting opinion on the buttons.  I have functions
that I would've liked to have been on my Infinity grip that I had to leave
off, and would have been unhappy to have fewer buttons.

 

ON stick

-----------

Autopilot disconnect

trim (u/d l/r)

speedbrake u/d

PS8000 60 sec replay (for clearances and the like)

push-to-talk

comm active/stand-by flip/flop

 

OFF stick

------------

squawk vfr

ident

(these were chosen to leave off since, as I have to have my hand over there
for setting the transponder code, I might as well ident with my left hand
too)
