An open-source joystick with force-feedback. Using 3d printed parts, Arduino based firmware. This will encompass all aspects of building your own joystick that can be customized to your liking.
Open Joystick
Open Joystick is an open source joystick that is built out of off the shelf components and 3d printed parts. It will feature a 3-axis gimbal base, 2-axis force feedback using brushless DC motors, left, right handed, multiple sized grips. The plan is to build a very robust joystick that is easily customizable and serviceable that includes many features only found on very high-end ones (and some not found anywhere else).
Progress
This project is still in the very early stages of planning and design. Currently there is a design for 3-axis gimbals using dual cam’s on PITCH and ROLL and a single cam for YAW. Force-feedback with Coils has an initial design but not finalized.
